Multi Mode
Things are a bit different for playing Multis. In this case, you must use the LocalKbdChan to
be able to play and control all of the Multis Zones. Set LocalKbdChan to match the channel
your external MIDI source is using (for example: your MIDI source transmits on Channel
1, set LocalKbdChan to 1). All MIDI information that the Forte SE receives on the local
keyboard channel gets remapped to the channels and control destinations used by the Zones
in the Multi.
The Forte SE also remaps certain MIDI Controller messages that it receives on the Local
Keyboard Channel so that they correspond (in most cases) to the default assignments for the
Forte SE's physical controllers (Mod Wheel, sliders, etc.). Physical controller assignments are
handled by Multis and are defined per Zone in Multi Edit Mode. Each Zone of a Multi has
its own controller assignments.
Sysex ID
The SysEx ID parameter determines the ID number for the unit if you are using more than
one device with the same MIDI manufacturer ID number. You can set this parameter to any
number from 0 to 127.
Unless you have multiple Forte SE keyboards receiving Sysex messages from a single source,
you will not need to change the Sysex ID from the default setting of 0.
If you do have multiple Forte SEs receiving Sysex messages from a single source, make sure
each Forte SE has a different Sysex ID. This will allow you to direct Sysex messages to the
appropriate Forte SE by specifying which unit with the Sysex ID byte that's included with
every Sysex message.
To have the unit respond to Sysex messages regardless of the Sysex ID, set Sysex ID to 127.
