HARMONIC MINOR In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and 5th diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. NATURAL MINOR 5th In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. DORIAN When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted 2 seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. Styles - Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment - When NTR is set to GUITAR ALL-PURPOSE This table covers both strummed- and arpeggio-played sound. STROKE Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if it is muted-this is normal condition when the chord is played on guitar by stroke. ARPEGGIO Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar. Using this table, four notes arpeggio sounds most beautiful. 3 HIGH KEY / NOTE LIMIT [4 ▲▼]/ HIGH KEY [5 ▲▼] This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is available only when the NTR parameter (page 33) is set to "Root Trans." Example-When the highest key is F. Root changes CM C#M Notes played C3-E3-G3 C#3-E#3-G#3 FM F3-A3-C4 F#M F#2-A#2-C#3 [6 ▲▼] [7 ▲▼] NOTE LIMIT LOW NOTE LIMIT HIGH These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded to the Style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the Voices sound as realistic as possible-in other words, that no notes outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). Example-When the lowest note is C3 and the highest is D4. Root changes CM C#M FM Notes played E3-G3-C4 E#3-G#3-C#4 F3-A3-C4 High Limit Low Limit 34 PSR-S910/S710 Reference Manual
