With FX Mode set to Performance, the Forte minimizes disruption of existing eects 
when changing Programs, and entry values will not disrupt sustained notes when changing 
Programs in Program Mode. When controlling the Forte from an external sequencer in 
Program Mode, setting FX Mode to Multitrack will minimize eect disruption.
Display
e Display parameter allows you to change the way that Programs and Multis are displayed 
on the Program and Multi Mode main pages by selecting one of three dierent “views”. e 
default is “Large” view, which displays the Program or Multi name with large text, along with 
the category name and background image. “Favorites” view is the same as Large view, plus 
the names of 10 favorite Programs and/or Multis are shown at the bottom of the display. 
“List” view displays the current Program or Multi as a selected item in a scrollable circular list 
that shows the next and previous Programs or Multis. “Large” and “Favorites” views can also 
show controller assignments and values when a controller is moved (Sliders, Switch buttons, 
Wheels, and Pedals). See “Show Controllers” below for details.
If Favorites view is selected and the Global Mode User Type parameter has been set to 
Advanced, you can use the Channel/Zone buttons in Program and Multi Mode to scroll 
through 16 banks of 10 Favorite Programs and/or Multis, allowing you to save and access 
160 Favorites. With these settings, Program and Multi mode will show the current Favorites 
Bank number in the upper right hand corner of the screen instead of the current MIDI 
channel.
Show Controllers
When “Large” or “Favorites” view is selected for the Display parameter (see above), the 
Program and Multi Mode main pages can briey show controller assignments and values 
when a controller is moved (Sliders, Switch buttons, Wheels, and Pedals). Set this parameter 
to “Yes” to briey show controller assignments when a controller is moved, or set it to “No” 
to hide controller assignments.
Auto Power Off 
e auto power o parameter turns the power saving feature on. When the Auto Power O 
parameter is set to On, the Forte will automatically power o after the Power O Time has 
expired, from the last key press (physical or MIDI), button press, controller movement, or 
USB MIDI activity.
