Mode
Switch Controllers have three modes: O, MIDI CC, or Chord.
With a value of O, the controller is disabled for this zone.
With a value of MIDI CC, the controller has the ability to transmit MIDI control messages.
Switch controls can also be set to Chord mode. In Chord mode, the switch can play a chord
containing up to 8 notes.
Velocity
e Velocity parameter only appears if the Mode is set to “Chord” and is for use with switch
controllers. Use the Velocity parameter to select a MIDI attack velocity (0-127) for the
note(s) designated in the Key1 to Key8 eld(s). Alternatively, set the Velocity eld to Auto
and the note’s velocity will be the velocity set by the KeyVel Multi Destination (see KeyVel
on page 11-21).
Key1.....Key8
e Key1, Key2, Key3, Key4, Key5, Key6, Key7, Key8 parameters are available when the
Mode is set to “Chord” . Use the Key(1 to 8) parameters to select the note to be played. e
note is displayed by MIDI note name.
To select a note, select the KeyNum eld with the navigation buttons, hold the Enter button
on the alphanumeric pad, then play the desired note on the keyboard. You can also change
the note in the eld by using the Alpha Wheel or Previous-/Next+ buttons.
Key
When the Switch parameter is set to a Key (Key1-Key12) and Mode is set to something
other than “O”, the Key parameter appears. Use the Key parameter to select which of the
Forte SE’s Keys you wish to use as a switch controller. With the Key parameter selected, you
can set a key by holding the Enter button and striking the desired key.
