Further basic VAST settings that you will likely want to adjust are:
• Monophonic On/Off (see
• Level Velocity Tracking (see
Read the Setting KVA Oscillator Type section below to learn about how to set each type of
oscillator. After doing this, you can experiment with making KVA programs by following
the above settings, and then setting and listening to each type of oscillator. Once you
understand how to do this, read on to the
(see below) to learn how to make your KVA patches more expressive through the use of DSP
modulation.
Pitch Settings for KVA Oscillators
Each oscillator (except for noise functions) has its own pitch parameters, and is unaffected by
pitch settings that would normally affect keymaps (such as those on the Keymap page). On a
program layer, the coarse pitch parameter for the oscillator in use can be found on both the
DSPCTL and DSPMOD pages, in the parameters list below the standard Pitch parameter
for keymaps. For each oscillator, its coarse pitch parameter is named by an abbreviation
of the oscillator name followed by "Pch." For example, the coarse pitch parameter for a
saw wave oscillator will be called Saw Pch. On the DSPCTL sub page for any oscillator
Pch. parameter, you can adjust fine pitch by cents and Hertz, as well as KeyTrk and VelTrk
settings for pitch.
Setting KVA Oscillator Type
The Forte SE comes with 22 Different KVA oscillators. There are 11 high quality anti-aliased
oscillators (free of digital artifacts) and 11 oscillators that exhibit some aliasing (digital
artifacts) in the higher octaves. The anti-aliased oscillators use up more DSP resources than
the ones with aliasing, but the improvement in sound quality is quite noticeable. We strongly
recommend using the anti-aliased oscillators for most applications.

Note: Be sure to differentiate between the different pitch parameters, each used
either only for keymaps or only for KVA oscillators. The Pitch parameter on the
top left of the DSPCTL and DSPMOD pages always appears in VAST programs
but only affects the pitch of keymaps. If a KVA oscillator is being used, this Pitch
parameter will have no affect on the layer's pitch, in which case the oscillator Pch.
parameter described above must be used to control the pitch of the oscillator.
