About Zones

Choosing Favorites
You can save ten Favorite Multis (or Programs) from any Category to the ten Favorite
buttons beneath the display. Once saved, these Favorite Multis can be recalled from any
Mode with a single button press. To save the currently selected Multi to a Favorite button,
press and hold a Favorite button until the display shows the message "Favorite (#) saved."
About Zones
Zones are the independent regions of the keyboard that make up a Multi.
A Multi has up to four Zones (or eight when the Global Mode User Type parameter is set to
Advanced), each one having its own Program, controller assignments, and MIDI transmit
channel. Zones can be mutually exclusive regions of the keyboard, or they can overlap. A
Zone can also be configured to control an external sound module or computer software
through a MIDI or USB cable.
Muting Zones
Pressing a Zone button will mute or unmute the Zone. An active/unmuted Zone button has
a lit LED. The LED of an inactive/muted Zone button is not lit. See
Modefor details on adding additional Zone mute button assignments when using more than
four Zones.

Transposition

The Transpose buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the Forte SE
keyboard in semitones (ST), also known as half steps. This is a convenient way to change the
key of a song without learning to play it in a different key. The Transpose buttons are located
to the left of the keyboard, above the Pitch and Mod Wheels. The Transpose buttons also
transpose MIDI notes sent to the USB and MIDI out ports.
Press the Transpose - or + buttons to transpose the Forte SE keyboard down or up by one
semitone. The top line of the display shows the current transposition value. Pressing both
Transpose - and + simultaneously will reset the transposition to 0. To transpose up and down
by octave intervals (12 ST), press the Octav- and Octav+ soft buttons underneath the display.
