Target Ch

Determines the target channel to be edited.

Source Root/

Chord

(Play Root/

Chord)

These settings determine the original key of the Source Pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern to

a channel other than the Rhythm channels). If you set “Fm7” here, specifying “Fm7” in the Chord section of the

keyboard will play back the originally recorded data (Source Pattern). The default setting is “CM7” (Source

Root = C and Source Chord = M7). Depending on the selected chord type specified here, the playable notes

(scale notes and chord notes) differ. When “Initialize Style” is executed in the “Basic” display, the default set-

ting of CM7 is automatically selected.

Playable notes when Source Root is C:

NTR/NTT

(Note Transpo-

sition Rule/

Note Transpo-

sition Table)

The parameters here determine how the notes in the Source Pattern are converted according to the chord changes

during your keyboard performance.

NTR

Selects the Note Transposition Rule which determines how the notes in the Source Pattern are

transposed according to the Chord Root change.

Root Trans

When the root note is transposed, the interval

between notes is maintained. For example, the notes

C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and

C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting

for channels that contain melody lines.

Root Fixed

The note is kept as close as possible to the previous

note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in

the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are

transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that

contain chord parts.

Guitar

This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to

approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering.

NTT Type

Selects the Note Transposition Table which determines how the notes in the Source Pattern are

transposed according to the Chord Type change.



When NTR is set to “Root Trans” or “Root Fixed”:

Bypass

When NTR is set to Root Fixed, the transposition table used does not do any note

conversion. When NTR is set to Root Trans, the table used only converts the notes

by maintaining the pitch relationship between notes.

Make sure to set the parameters here before recording. If you change the settings after recording, the recorded Source

Pattern cannot be converted to the appropriate notes when changing the chord during your keyboard performance.

IMPORTANT

When the parameters for the selected Target Ch are set to NTR: Root Fixed, NTT Type: Bypass, or NTT Bass: Off, the parameters here are

changed to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. In this case, you can change chords and hear the resulting sound for all channels.

NOTE

The settings here are not applied when NTR is set to “Guitar.”
