Getting Started
The Pedal Jacks
2-6
NOTE : Do not step on the switch pedals when powering up the Forte SE, as the state of
the pedal is detected as part of the power up sequence.
e Forte SE SW1 and SW2 jacks can support a single or dual switch pedal on each jack, or
a single half-damper pedal on each jack.
NOTE : It is not recommended to plug CC pedals into the SW inputs. Due to the
exible switch pedal support, CC pedals may not operate as expected in these inputs.
If you are not using a Kurzweil switch pedal, make sure it’s connected before you turn on the
Forte SE. is ensures that the pedal will work properly (it might function in reverse—o
when it’s down and on when it’s up—if you turn on your Forte SE before plugging in the
pedal). Similarly, don’t press any of your switch pedals while powering up, as the Forte SE
veries each pedal’s orientation during power-up. If you’re pressing a pedal, you might cause
it to work in reverse.
Connecting a Dual Switch Pedal
You can connect a dual switch pedal with a single stereo plug, such as the Kurzweil KFP-2S,
into the SW1 Pedal and SW2 Pedal jacks. Both SW1 and SW2 can support a dual pedal
each allowing up to 4 pedals to be utilized by the Forte SE. ese are enumerated as SW1a,
SW1b, SW2a and SW2b. e Forte SE will recognize dual pedals that are wired as TS and
RS, such as the KFP-2S.
