Kurzweil Forte Getting Started Guide

is Getting Started Guide is designed to cover both the Forte and Forte7 pianos. ese instruments share common
features and the term “Forte” is used to cover a description of both. Where there are dierences, we use the name
“Forte7” to help instruct owners of that instrument.
is Guide will help you hook up the Forte to your sound system and MIDI system, give you a quick overview, and
show you how to start playing music with the Forte. A full manual for either instrument can be obtained in electronic
format from www.kurzweil.com.
