■ 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 param-
eter (page 118) is set to “Root Trans.”
■ NOTE LIMIT
This sets 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). The actual notes that
sound are automatically shifted to the set range.
■ RTR (Retrigger Rule)
These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change
pitch in response to chord changes.
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.
