246| Customizing, recording and editing the Styles and Pads
Hint: To conform to KORG specifications, it is advisable to record both the Major and
minor Chord Variations for the Intro 1 and Ending 1 Style Elements.
Choosing an NTT table for the selected track
▪ Use the NTT Type and NTT Table parameters to choose an NTT table (Note
Transposition Table) for the selected Style track (or the Pad track) of the
current Chord Variation.
An NTT table is a set of sophisticated algorithms that allows KORG arrangers
to convert recognized chords into musical patterns. The NTT table deter-
mines how the arranger will transpose pattern notes, when a chord is rec-
ognized that does not exactly match the original chord of a Chord Variation.
For example, if you only recorded a Chord Variation for the CMaj chord, when
a CMaj7 is recognized on the keyboard the arranger must transpose some
notes to create the missing 7th.
NTT parameters are not used by Drum and Percussion tracks, and are there-
fore dimmed when selecting these tracks.
There are two general types of NTTs:
NTT Type Description
Parallel Notes are transposed inside the area set by the Wrap Around parameter.
These tables are ideally suited to melody parts.
as written as played back
Fixed The arranger moves as few notes as possible, making legato lines and chord
changes more natural. They are ideally suited to chord tracks (strings, piano
etc...).
