Transposition Table) for the

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-

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:
