Styles
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.”
