When NTR is set to GUITAR
3 HIGH KEY / NOTE LIMIT
The settings here adjust the octave of the notes converted from the original ones through NTT and NTR.
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 major/minor chords such as in 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 sounds.
STROKE
Suitable for strumming sounds of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if they are
muted—this is normal when chords are strummed on an actual guitar.
ARPEGGIO
Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar, resulting in beautiful four-note arpeg-
gio sounds.

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 (
) is set to “Root Trans.”

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).

STOP
The notes stop sounding.
PITCH SHIFT
The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord.
PITCH SHIFT TO ROOT
The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord.
RETRIGGER
The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord.
RETRIGGER TO ROOT
The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord. However, the
octave of the new note remains the same.
