Creating A Style By Combining Parts From Different Styles

[NativeAngels]

I have started to experiment for creating styles by combining parts from different styles to create new ones. Whilst I have had some success with the variations and fill ins. When it comes to intro1 and ending1 some of the tracks sound out of tune or in the wrong key. Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

That is because Intro 1 does not play on the chord recognized on the keyboard but plays a short sequence with a prerecorded chord sequence and melody.
It is the same with ending Ending 1 with its prerecorded chord sequence and melody, while Ending 2 with the chord recognized on the keyboard.

For style elements you don’t have to record all Chord Variations and often you only need to record a single Chord Variation for each Style Element, but exceptions are the Intro 1 and Ending 1, where it is suggested to record both a Major and minor Chord Variations.

For NTT Type/Table combinations "Parallel/No Transpose" is advisable to set on the Intro 1 and Ending 1.
With that standard setting of Intro 1 and Ending 1 (where usually a chord progression is recorded) the chord shape is not modified, and is moved to the new key unchanged.
The pattern plays exactly the recorded notes, and is moved to the new key as it is.
+
With Guitar tracks/Guitar Mode choosing the Key/Chord parameter usually sets the chord used for prelistening while programming the pattern.
But Intro 1 and Ending 1 behave in a different way. Since they contain programmed chord sequences, this is the reference key that will allow the correct transposition during playback.
Chord progressions for Intro 1 and Ending 1(Chord Variation 1 and 2) have to be entered in the Event Edit page.
The root notes are entered in the lowest MIDI octave (from C-1 to B-1) under the normal range of a piano keyboard.
The chord types are determined by selecting a velocity value (“Vel.”), as you can see in manuals table
