Program Pages
By default, when scrolling through the list of effects Chains for the Insert effect, only
Chains with IDs from 4000-5000 will be shown. These Chains are used by the Forte
factory programs, and each one will automatically apply controller assignments for effects
parameters on the Parameters page. Controller assignments for each of these Chains
conform to the Controller assignments shown in the Forte Controller Conventions chart
on page 6-11. To access Chains outside of this range, enter an ID number using the keypad
function of the Category buttons. For more details on Chain selection, see the parameter
User Type on page 10-9 in the Global Mode Chapter.

Aux 1, Aux 2

Choose an effects Chain for each of the two auxiliary audio buses. An aux bus is an audio
channel with a shared effects Chain that can be used by programs on any of the 16 MIDI
channels. The aux effect is useful when you want to use the same type of effect for multiple
channels (typically used for Reverb or Delay). You apply an aux effect to the program on a
MIDI channel by "sending" the audio from that channel to an aux bus.
Every channel is connected to the aux buses, but the aux buses don't receive the signal until
you turn up the aux "send" level for that channel, which controls a channel's input level to
the aux bus. On each MIDI channel you can control the aux send level for that channel's
program, in turn controlling how loudly you can hear the aux effect applied to that channel's
program. The aux send level is set by the Aux 1 and Aux 2 Send parameters on the FX page.
Many Chains also have an additional Aux send, Wet/Dry, or Amount parameter that will
appear on the Parameters page. For Reverb and Delay Chains, send parameters are often
assigned by default to Slider I or Slider H respectively.
By default, when scrolling through the list of effects Chains for the Aux effects, only
Chains with IDs from 5000-6000 will be shown. These Chains are used by the Forte
factory programs, and each one will automatically apply controller assignments for effects
parameters on the Parameters page. Controller assignments for each of these Chains
conform to the Controller assignments shown in the Forte Controller Conventions chart
on page 6-12. To access Chains outside of this range, enter an ID number using the keypad
function of the Category buttons. For more details on Chain selection, see the parameter
User Type on page 10-9 in the Global Mode Chapter.

Output

The Output parameter specifies the rear panel analog output pair to which the selected aux
bus is routed. Setting the Output to Main routes the signal of the selected bus to output pair
A. Setting the Output to Sec. routes the signal of the selected bus to output pair B. This is
useful if you want to control the processed Aux signal with an external mixer or process the
signal with additional external effects.
