Yamaha 205M User Manual

This display provides a variety of style controls— such as determining how the pitch and sound of the recorded style 
change when playing the chords in the left-hand range of the keyboard. For details about the relationship between the 
parameters, refer to “Style File Format” on page 110. The operations here are the same as described in step 4 on page 110.

■ Source 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 Source Root of “C” and a Source 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. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see page 112.

■ NTR (Note Transposition Rule) and NTT (Note Transposition Table)

This determines the system for pitch conversion of the source pattern. Two settings are available.

Root Trans (Root Transpose)
When the root note is transposed, the 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 transposed to F. Use this setting for channels 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.

When NTR is set to “Root 
Fixed” and NTT is set to 
“Bypass,” the “Source 
Root” and “Source Chord” 
parameters are changed to 
“Play Root” and “Play 
Chord,” respectively. In this 
case, you can change 
chords and hear the result-
ing sound for all channels.
