What is NTA?
This stands for “Notes To Arranger.” The notes you play 
on the keyboard of the Prelude are sent together with 
chord information to the arranger. These notes can also 
be received via MIDI from an external MIDI keyboard 
controller or other device. If you want to use the arranger 
without playing the Prelude’s keyboard, turn this setting 
“ON,” and transmit the note messages from your 
computer or an external MIDI device to the Prelude.
