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 four-note arpeggio sounds. NTT Bass The channel for which this is set to "On" will be played back by the bass root note, when the onbass chord is recognized by the instrument. When NTR is set to Guitar and this parameter is set to "On," only the note which is assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note. NTR/NTT Settings for the Rhythm Channels Since the Rhythm channels should not be affected by Chord change, make sure to make the following settings. • NTR = Root Fixed • NTT = Bypass • NTT Bass = Off With the above settings, the "Source Root" and "Source Chord" parameters are changed to "Play Root" and "Play Chord," respectively. 28 PSR-SX900/SX700 Reference Manual
