Getting Started; Before You Start; Setting Up The Forte - Kurzweil Forte Musician's Manual

Chapter 2

Getting Started

As the excited owner of a brand-new keyboard, you've probably already unpacked your
Forte and want to check it out. This chapter will help you to hook the Forte up to both your
audio and MIDI systems, give you a quick overview of how it works, and show you how to
start making great sounds with your new Forte.

Before You Start...

Don't connect anything until you make sure the Forte is properly and safely situated. If your
Forte keyboard has been out in the cold, give it time to warm up to room temperature before
starting it, since condensation may have formed inside.

Setting up the Forte

1. Set the keyboard on a hard, flat, level surface.
2. Four adhesive-backed rubber feet are provided with your Forte. Carefully turn the keyboard
over onto a soft surface, remove the paper backing from the rubber feet and attach them.
NOTE : Unless the instrument will always be used with a keyboard stand,
attachment of the rubber feet is strongly advised. Otherwise protruding
screws may scratch the tabletop.
