Pressure Map

The Pressure Map parameter determines the way the Forte controls Pressure (Aftertouch).
Different maps generate different MIDI pressure values for the same physical key depending
on how hard you press and hold the key.
Easiest
Easier
Linear
Harder
Hardest

Press S Override

In addition to the Pressure Map parameter, Press S Override provides fine adjustment of key
pressure (aftertouch) sensitivity. A setting of 0% prevents the generation of pressure messages.
S.Buttons 1-2
This sets the function of Soft buttons 1 and 2 in Program/Multi Mode. Select Octave
