The Song Editor
In general, you’ll get to the Song editor pages by pressing the Edit button any time you’re in Song
mode. There’s one exception: if the Program parameter is currently highlighted on the display,
you’ll enter the Program editor when you press Edit.
There are a few conventions shared by all of the Song editor pages. Displayed at the top of each
Song editor page is the name of the page and the currently selected track (1–16, or all tracks). All
of the values for the parameters found in any of the Song-editor pages are saved in the song
object.
Song Editor: The COMMON Page
Press the Edit button on the front panel of the Forte SE to display the COMMON page and begin
editing a song. This is where you will nd parameters common to all tracks, such as tempo and
time signature, control parameters for eects, and soft buttons for switching to other Song editor
pages.
Parameter Range of Values Default
Tempo 0 (external), 20.00 to 400.00 BPM 120
Time Signature (Numerator) 1 to 99 4
(Denominator) 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 4
FX Track 1 to 16 1
MIDI Destination –, L, M, U L
The currently selected track is displayed on the top line, though on the COMMON page this only
applies to the MidiDst parameters (see below.) The rest of the parameters on the COMMON page
are global settings for the song and do not directly aect individual tracks.
Tempo
This is another place where the song’s initial tempo can be set or modied.
TimeSig
Use this parameter to set the desired time signature of the current song.
