Press the TEMPO soft button to go to the TEMPO page (see below). When the Clock
Source parameter is set to Internal (see
sets the Forte SE's System Tempo. The Tempo parameter values are in units of BPM (beats
per minute).
Note: You can also call up the TEMPO page from any other page by pressing the left and
right navigation buttons simultaneously.
In Program Mode, System Tempo can control the rate of each Program's arpeggiator, as
well as the rate of any tempo synced Insert or Aux effects that each program may use.
Most programs will default to using the System Tempo, though some programs may be
programmed use their own tempo (for details see
set to use the System Tempo by setting the Global Mode User Type parameter to Advanced,
then setting the Global Mode ProgTempo parameter to "System". For details see
on page 12-3
In Multi Mode, System Tempo is is ignored and the Multi Common Tempo of each Multi is
used for all programs in a Multi.
Set the Tempo parameter with the Previous-/Next+ buttons, the Alpha Wheel, or
alphanumeric entry. You can also set the system tempo by tapping the Tap soft button at the
desired speed. You need to tap at least twice for a tempo to be calculated, though tapping
several times (like on each beat of one or more measures) works best. The newly tapped
tempo is displayed in the tempo field.
Alternatively, a temporary controller can be set for use in the Temporary TAP controller field,
instead of using the Tap soft button. The Temporary TAP controller field lists groups of Forte
SE controllers in order of their usefulness for tapping. Listed first are the foot switches and
switch buttons. After these is Note On, which lets you tap the tempo with any keyboard
key. Last are the MIDI controller numbers, which includes all of the continuous controllers,
though continuous controllers (such as a slider) are not easy or recommended for tapping
the tempo. The Temporary TAP controller works only while on the TEMPO page and will
remain selected when accessing the TEMPO page from other modes, but the selection will
return to OFF the next time the Forte SE is turned on.
