MIDI MON
Press the MIDIMON soft button to view MIDI messages sent from the Forte SE. This is
useful for making sure controls are assigned as you want them, checking note numbers and
velocities, and checking controller values or other MIDI messages. The most recently sent
message will be at the bottom of the list.
VOICES
Pressing the Voices soft button calls up the Voice Status page, which shows the Forte SE's
active voice channels as you play. The Voice Status pages displays each active voice as a solid
rectangular block—for mono voices—or displays stereo pairs of voices as a > for the left
channel voice and a < for the right channel voice. Whatever symbol the page displays, when
the key of a voice is released, that voice's symbol on the Voices Status page turns into a dot
during the release portion of that voice's envelope. When the voice decays to silence, it is no
longer active, and the dot disappears.
The Voice Status pages displays each active voice as an "M" for mono voices or displays
stereo pairs of voices as an "S". Whatever symbol the page displays, when the key of a voice
is released, that voice's symbol on the Voices Status page turns into a "D" during the release
portion of that voice's envelope. When the voice decays to silence, it is no longer active, and
the "D" disappears.
The Voices utility works a bit differently for KB3 programs. The Forte SE uses one mono
voice of polyphony for every two tone wheels in a KB3 program. When a KB3 program
is loaded in any of the Forte SE's 16 MIDI channels (In Program or Multi Mode), a solid
rectangular block will be shown for every two tone wheels in the KB3 program, even if you're
not playing any notes. KB3 voices are always on, and these voices remain dedicated to the
KB3 program as long as it is loaded. KB3 voices can not be stolen by VAST programs. Any
voices not dedicated to a KB3 program behave normally.
KB3 Programs that simulate Hammond ™ organs do not use any of the Forte SE's 128 voices
of polyphony (this does not apply to KB3 Programs that emulate Vox ™ or Farfisa ™ organs).
Only one KB3 Program can be active on the Forte SE's 16 MIDI channels at any time. The
bottom of the voices page indicates which of the Forte SE's 16 MIDI channels (if any) has an
active KB3 program.
