The MIDI Ports (In / Thru / Out)
Use the MIDI ports to communicate with other MIDI modules and controllers. The Out port
is the MIDI transmitting port, and the In port is the MIDI receiving port. Use the Thru port
to pass MIDI data through the Forte to other instuments or modules.
By sliding the switch on the rear panel from Thru to Out, the Forte sends MIDI Out messages
on both the Thru and Out ports. The USB ports can also be used to transmit MIDI messages.
