Introducing the Forte
Congratulations on your purchase of a Kurzweil Forte® Stage Piano! Keep the manual
on hand as you continue to familiarize yourself with the features and functions of your
instrument.
Using this Guide with the Forte7
is manual is designed to cover both the Forte® and Forte®7 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.
Main Features
e Forte Stage Piano is the most advanced keyboard to ever bear the Kurzweil logo.
Featuring Flash-Play technology and a high resolution color display, the Forte boasts
hundreds of excellent preset sounds, with a massive 16GB of ROM and 128 voice
polyphony. e Forte’s new sounds are modeled after Steinway Hamburg D and Vintage
Yamaha C7 pianos, Rhodes (‘73 and ‘77) and Wurlitzer electric pianos, Clavinet D6 (rhythm
and treble pickups) and French Harpsichord (ve dispositions).
