Mutually exclusive: LKL + LKR, RKL + RKR can’t be engaged together.
vs. standard E9
- P5: raises string 5 a whole step (G→A); raises string 10 a whole step (C→D) (no P5 on standard E9)
- P6: raises string 4 a whole step (A→B) (no P6 on standard E9)
- P7: raises strings 3 & 7 a half step (C→C♯) (no P7 on standard E9)
- P8: raises string 6 a half step (E→F) (no P8 on standard E9)
- LKL: raises strings 1 & 5 a whole step (G→A) (standard E9 LKL raises strings 4 & 8 a half step (E→F))
- LKR: lowers string 2 a half step (E→D♯); lowers string 9 a half step (F→E) (standard E9 LKR lowers strings 4 & 8 a half step (E→D♯))
- RKL: raises string 6 a half step (E→F) (standard E9 RKL lowers string 2 a half step (D♯→D); lowers string 9 a half step (D→C♯))
- RKR: lowers string 4 a half step (A→G♯) (standard E9 RKR lowers string 4 a half step (E→D♯); lowers string 5 a half step (B→A♯))
- No A — standard E9's A raises strings 5 & 10 a whole step (B→C♯)
- No B — standard E9's B raises strings 3 & 6 a half step (G♯→A)
- No C — standard E9's C raises string 4 a whole step (E→F♯); raises string 5 a whole step (B→C♯)
