Destination
Use the Destination parameter to assign the Forte physical controllers (Sliders, Pedals, 
Switches, Mod Wheel, etc.) to control Program parameters or send MIDI continuous 
controller messages (CCs) to external MIDI gear. If a CC number is assigned to a parameter 
in the Program of the current Zone, the parameter name will be listed in the Destination list 
in place of that CC number.
e Destination parameter determines the MIDI CC controller number that a physical 
controller will send to the Program in the currently selected Zone. By default, these CC 
messages are also sent to the MIDI Out and USB ports on the Channel of that Zone.
e list of CC controller numbers below shows the default assignments for each destination. 
Programs respond to some of these CCs for standard MIDI functions like volume and 
panning. Other external MIDI gear (sound modules, computer software) may respond to 
standard MIDI CC messages as well.
Controlling Program Parameter Assignments from Multi 
Mode
Commonly you will want to assign a physical controller in a Multi to control the same 
Program parameter that it controlled in Program Mode. In the Destination parameter list, 
destinations that are assigned to parameters for the Program of the current Zone will show 
the Program Parameter name in place of the standard Controller Destination name. Select 
one of these destinations to control an assigned Program parameter.
The Contoller Destination List
e table below contains the available values for the MIDI CC (continuous controller) 
destinations. e Forte’s physical controllers can send MIDI values to these destinations 
in order to control the parameters of Forte Programs, Multis, Forte system parameters, or 
external MIDI equipment.
