  • Page 17: Introducing The Forte

    Forte. Main Features The Forte Stage Piano is the most advanced keyboard to ever bear the Kurzweil logo. Featuring Flash-Play technology and a high resolution color display, the Forte boasts hundreds of excellent preset sounds, with a massive 16GB of ROM and 128 voice polyphony.

  • Page 18: Sounds

    Forte also includes our fully featured Kurzweil KB3 ToneReal™ organ simulator designed to emulate classic tone wheel organs like the Hammond B3, as well as Farfisa and Vox organs. The Forte is also a very capable MIDI controller ideally suited to controlling additional sound modules and as input to a sequencer.

  • Page 19: Pedals (Optional)

    Introducing the Forte Pedals (Optional) As described above, the Forte has five jacks on the rear panel for optional pedal controllers. Three jacks for switch pedals, which are typically used to control two-state (i.e., on / off) parameters such as sustain, sostenuto, and soft.

  • Page 20: Music Rack (Optional)

    The optional KMR2 Music Rack attachment is a holder for sheet music or a computer tablet device. Contact your Kurzweil dealer for the KMR2 Music Rack. Please refer to the instructions that come with the KMR2 on attaching the music rack to the Forte.

  • Page 21: Getting Started

    As the excited owner of a brand-new keyboard, you’ve probably already unpacked your Forte and want to check it out.

  • Page 127: Zone Parameters

    Multi Edit Mode Zone Parameters Zone Parameters Each of the four Zones in a Multi has multiple parameters that determine its behavior. Since the Zones of a Multi are independent of each other, changing a parameter for a certain Zone will not affect the parameters of any other Zone. There are some exceptions to this, for example, the parameters on the Common Page are common to all 4 Zones.

  • Page 128: Status

    Program The Program parameter determines the Program to be loaded for the currently selected Zone. You can set this parameter to any Forte Program (1 – 2047). The display shows the Program number and name. The Value Jump double button press (Previous and Next buttons) jumps to selecting the first Program of each Category, as well as the Category Default Program of each Category (if a Category Default Program has been set).

  • Page 130: Transpose

    If you are using two or more MIDI devices (including the Forte), you can expand polyphony by assigning each zone to a different alternating note map. For example, if you have two Fortes, you can assign two zones to each play the same program on a different Forte, thereby doubling polyphony.
  • Page 131 MIDI When Destination is set to MIDI, MIDI data from the Zone is sent only to the MIDI Out ports. MIDI data is not sent to a Forte Program or the USB ports from this Zone. MIDI + LOCAL When Destination is set to MIDI+LOCAL, MIDI data from the Zone is sent to a Forte Program and to the MIDI Out ports.

  • Page 132: Out

    When Destination is set to USB+LOCAL +MIDI, MIDI data from the Zone is sent to the USB & MIDI Out ports, as well as the Forte Program on this Zone. Use the Out parameter to set the rear panel audio outputs used for each zone of the current Multi.

  • Page 133: Midibank

    Zone sends when the Multi is loaded. You can set this parameter to a MIDI Bank change message from 0 to 16383. When using the Forte as a MIDI controller, sending a MIDI Bank change message (along with a MIDI Program change message) when a Multi is loaded ensures that the Program loaded on the other sound modules in your MIDI chain is the Program that you want.

    0 and 100 cents. VelMode The Velocity Mode parameter determines the method that the Forte maps the keyboard’s strike velocity to MIDI velocity. Set to “Traditional” the keyboards velocity will translate to a MIDI velocity depending how hard you strike it. With a setting of “Fixed”, the velocity is set to a pre-determined value regardless of how hard or soft the keyboard is played.

  • Page 135: Velcurve

    Multi Edit Mode MAIN Page For example, if this is set to 25 (assuming a scale of 100%), then 25 is added to the velocity of every keystroke, usually making the sound that much louder. The softest possible keystroke will have a value of 25, while a keystroke with velocity of 102 will produce the same sound as a note with velocity 127 (102+25=127).

  • Page 221: Kb3 Programs

    Duplicating the sound and flexibility of these organs – without the nasty side effects – is the goal of KB3 Mode. KB3 Improvements in the Forte KB3 Programs in the Forte contain improvements over previous Kurzweil models including improved Leslie emulation Chains, Key Click, Leakage, and cabinet emulation.

  • Page 222: Drawbars

    Best of all, you can make radical changes to the tone dynamically as you play. The nine sliders of the Forte are set to control the drawbars, as listed in blue below the sliders. Pulling the slider towards the keyboard increases the amount of the drawbar that is heard.

  • Page 223: Chorus/Vibrato Depth

    The percussion effect is “single-triggered”, which means that once it’s triggered, it won’t trigger again until all keys go up. The KB3 engine in the Forte is capable of generating the Percussion effect without stealing any of the drawbars, and while not authentic, is occasionally used on Forte Programs.

  • Page 224: Variation

    KB3 Programs KB3 Mode Buttons Variation The variation button acts as a Fast/Slow switch for the Leslie rotary speaker effect. Using the Rotary S/F Override in the Global mode, any Pedal assigned to Sustain can also be used to control the rotary speed. If Rotary S/F Override is set to Off, then Pedals assigned to Sustain will act normally as a Sustain Pedal.
