Names Displayed for VAST Sources

When assigning a physical controller or CC number to a source field, the source field will
show a MIDI CC number, either followed by the name of an associated Forte physical
controller (such as "12 Slider A"), or followed by "MIDI" and the CC number again (such
as "3 MIDI 3"). By default, the Forte's physical controllers are each associated with a specific
MIDI CC number (see the Parameter Controls table below). Typically, assigning one of these
associated CC numbers to a VAST source will assign the default associated Forte physical
controller and display that name in the source field.
It is also possible for the associated Forte physical controller to be different from the default.
For example, CC 12 is associated with Slider A by default. You could assign the DSPMOD
page Pitch Src1 to "12 Slider A" for several layers of a Program. A "Pitch" parameter will
appear on the Parameters page, with its Control set to Slider A. If the Control for this
parameter is changed to Slider B on the Parameters page, the DSPMOD page Pitch Src1
fields will now show "12 Slider B".
In some cases, when assigning a CC number to a source field, the source field will show a
MIDI CC number followed by the standard MIDI name associated with that MIDI CC
number. See the Controller Destination list in the Multi Edit Mode chapter for details. Note
that the standard MIDI names for CC numbers 16-19 are Ctl A through Ctl D, but these
are unrelated to Slider A though Slider D.

VAST Sources and the PARAMS Page

When assigning a physical controller or CC number to a source field, a Parameter is
automatically added to the PARAMS Page with the name of the first assigned VAST
parameter.
If you are assigning a physical controller or CC number that is already used by a parameter
on the PARAMS page, a new parameter will not be added to the PARAMS page. The
new assignment will share the existing Parameter on the PARAMS page (Name, Control
assignment and initial Value). The previously existing Parameter's name will not change based
on the new assignment. If you have assigned one physical controller/MIDI CC to multiple
VAST parameters, you may wish to edit the Parameter name to reflect this. Hit the Favorite1
button to access the parameter edit page.
When a VAST parameter source has been assigned to a physical controller or CC number,
there will be an associated parameter on the PARAMS page (unless it has been manually
deleted from the PARAMS page). To quickly find the associated parameter, select the VAST
source field and press the Favorite1 button to jump to selecting the associated parameter on
the PARAMS page.
