PSR-SX600 Reference Manual
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 con-
tain melody lines.
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.
This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to
approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering.
When NTR is set to Root Fixed, the transposition table used does not do any note
conversion. When NTR is set to Root Transpose, the table used only converts the
notes by maintaining the pitch relationship between notes.
Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase1
and Phrase2.
Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the Chord1 and Chord2 chan-
nels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts.
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the
third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a
major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not
changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/
minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.
In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the
third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a
minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth 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 Intros and Endings.
In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the
third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes
from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth 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.
In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
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.
In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished chords
affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
