When NTR is set to GUITAR
3 HIGH KEY / NOTE LIMIT
4 RTR (Retrigger Rule)
These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change
pitch in response to chord changes.
NATURAL MINOR
5th In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect
the 5th note of the Source pattern.
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 the chord changes from a minor to a major
chord, the minor third 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 a Major/minor
chord such as Intros and Endings.
DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th
note of the Source pattern.
ALL-PURPOSE This table covers both strummed- and arpeggio-played sound.
STROKE Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if it is muted—this is
normal condition when the chord is played on guitar by stroke.
ARPEGGIO Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar. Using this table, four notes arpeggio sounds
most beautiful.

HIGH KEY This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the chord
root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key are transposed
down to the next lowest octave. This setting is available only when the NTR parame-
ter (
page 51 ) is set to “Root Trans.”
[6

] NOTE LIMIT LOW These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded to the Style
channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the Voices sound as
realistic as possible—in other words, that no notes outside the natural range are
sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds).
