■ PLAY ROOT/CHORD
These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used
when recording the pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Play Root of "C"
and a Chord Type of "M7"), is automatically selected whenever the preset data is
deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord
included in the preset data. When you change Source Root/Chord from the default
CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change,
depending on the newly selected chord type.

■ NTR (Note Transposition Rule)
This determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted
from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes.
ROOT TRANS When the root note is transposed, the
(Root Transpose) pitch relationship 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 trans-
posed to F. Use this setting for chan-
nels 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.

CAUTION
The edited Style will be lost if
you change to another Style
or you turn the power off
without executing the Save
operation.
Auditioning Your Style with a
Specific Chord
Normally in the Style Creator,
you can hear your original Style-
in-process with the Source Pat-
tern. However, there is a way to
hear it played by a specific chord
and root. To do this, set NTR to
"Root Fixed," NTT to "Bypass,"
and NTT BASS to "OFF" then
change the newly displayed
"Play Root" and "Play Chord"
parameters to the desired set-
tings.
