NTR/NTT (Note Transposition Rule/ Note Transposition Table) NTT Type NTT Bass Melody Suitable to transpose most melody lines. Use this for channels with melodic arranging such as "Bass," "Phrase1," and "Phrase2." Chord Suitable for transposing chordal arranging. Use this for the "Chord1" and "Chord2" channels, that assume harmony on arranging. Melodic Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the major third note above the "Source Root" by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third note above the "Source Root" is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings, according to the notes in the Source Pattern, the minor key type (natural, harmonic or melodic minor) and/or the mode you intend. Melodic Minor 5th In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, this table transposes the perfect fifth note above the "Source Root" with augmented and diminished chord types. Harmonic Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the major third and sixth notes above the "Source Root" by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and sixth notes above the "Source Root" are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings, according to the notes in the Source Pattern, the minor key type (natural, harmonic or melodic minor) and/or the mode you intend. Harmonic Minor 5th In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, this table transposes the perfect fifth note above the "Source Root" with augmented and diminished chord types. Natural Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the major third, sixth and seventh notes above the "Source Root" by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, sixth and seventh notes above the "Source Root" are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings, according to the notes in the Source Pattern, the minor key type (natural, harmonic or melodic minor) and/or the mode you intend. Natural Minor 5th In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, this table transposes the perfect fifth note above the "Source Root" with augmented and diminished chord types. Dorian When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the major third and seventh notes above the "Source Root" by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and seventh notes above the "Source Root" are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings, according to the notes in the Source Pattern, the minor key type (natural, harmonic or melodic minor) and/or the mode you intend. Dorian 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, this table transposes the perfect fifth note above the "Source Root" with augmented and diminished chord types. When NTR is set to "Guitar": All Purpose This table works both for strumming and arpeggio. Stroke This table is specialized for strumming. Some notes may sound as if they are muted-this is to simulate actual guitar strumming voicings for a more authentic sound. Arpeggio This table is specialized for arpeggios, resulting in beautiful four-note arpeggio sounds. The channels for which this parameter is set to "On" respond to slashed (on-bass) chords. For example, when Dm7/G is selected, the notes for Bass are transposed to "G" instead of "D" which is the root of the chord. When NTR is set to Guitar and this parameter is set to "On," only the bottom note as Bass inside the Guitar voicings automatically respond to slashed chords as well. 30 PSR-A5000 Reference Manual
