Saving Programs
If you make changes to the current Program using any of the controllers (Sliders, Wheels
or Switches), the Save button’s LED lights to indicate that a change has been made to that
Program. The Save button is located left of the display. To save a copy of the Program with
the changes you’ve made, press the Save button once. The Save button’s LED begins to blink
and it calls up the Save Dialog. The Save Dialog allows you to choose an ID number that will
be associated with the program you are saving.
Splits and Layers
Programs can be Split into Multis, so that keys in one region of the keyboard play a different
program than another region. Programs can also be Layered into Multis, so that more than
one Program can be played by striking one key. Press the Split or Layer soft button to create a
Split or Layer Multi containing the current Program. You will then be able to add up to three
additional programs to create a Split or Layered Multi containing up to four Programs.
Multi Mode
Multi mode allows you to play Multis, which are arrangements of up to 4 Programs split and/
or layered in Zones across selected ranges of the keyboard. The volume of the Program in
each Zone can be easily adjusted while you are playing by using sliders A through D, and each
Zone can be muted and enabled by using the Zone Mute buttons above these sliders. You can
create custom assignments for the remaining sliders, buttons and foot controllers to control
effects and synthesis parameters of each Program.
Multi Edit Mode
Multi Edit Mode is used to modify the many parameters that make up Multis, including
Program Selection, Volume, Pan, Controller assignments, effects and the layering and split
options. Multi Edit Mode allows for powerful customizations of the many built in sounds
available on Forte and allows you to make new and unique sound combinations for your own
performances and compositions.
Global Mode
Global Mode gives you access to the global parameters of the Forte. It allows you to edit
the master settings of the unit. It also allows you to restore factory defaults on the unit by
performing a Hard or Soft Reset. Some of the more common settings are summarized below.
MIDI Settings
