HARMONIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. 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 major/minor chords such as in Intros and Endings. 2 NATURAL MINOR In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and dimin- 5th ished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. Styles 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 NTR is set to GUITAR ALL-PURPOSE This table covers both stroke- and arpeggio-played sounds. STROKE Suitable for strumming sounds of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if they are muted-this is the normal condition when chords are played on guitar by strumming. ARPEGGIO Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar, resulting in beautiful fournote arpeggio sounds. 44 PSR-S975/S775 Reference Manual
