Song Mode: The Big Page - Kurzweil FORTE SE Musician's Manual

Use the Alpha Wheel, -/+ buttons, or Alphanumeric Pad to choose a free ID# location to save the
song, or choose a used ID# location to overwrite a previously saved song with your new version.
When overwriting a song file, the "save as" dialog displays "Replace" followed by the name of
the file being replaced. Press Rename if you would like to change the song's name. Press Save to
save the song, or Cancel to return to the previous screen.
If you decide not to save or rename, No returns you to the Song-mode page in which you were
last recording. Changes to the current song are not saved, though the sequencer will remember
changes to certain settings from the MAIN and BIG pages. These settings are Tempo, Merge/
Erase Mode, Locate, track mute status, Time In, Time Out, Song End, Loop, Punch, and Metron.
To permanently save these changes with the song, make sure to press Save before powering off
or loading a new song. Alternatively, you will be prompted to save these changes upon loading a
new song if the MAIN page settings were changed while recording or with recording armed, or if
any of the BIG page settings were changed.

Song Mode: The BIG Page

On the BIG page, the Forte SE displays—in a large font, the page's name—the current time/
location of the "playhead" of the sequencer in a Bar : Beat : Tick format. Also displayed is the
current status of the sequencer, and the BIG page's six parameters.
