The Utility Soft Buttons, HELP Soft Button and
Favorites Buttons Functions
Some of the soft buttons in Program Edit Mode perform a function when pressed, as well
as some of the Favorites buttons. The soft buttons described below appear when the Global
Mode User Type parameter is set to Advanced.
New Layer (NewLyr)
Create a new layer, numbered one above the highest existing layer. When you press this
button, the Forte SE will tell you that it is creating a new layer, then will return to the page
you were on. The new layer becomes the current layer, and is the highest-numbered layer in
the program. If the current program already has its maximum number of layers, the Forte SE
will tell you that you can't add any more.
Duplicate Layer (DupLyr)
Create a copy of the current layer, duplicating the settings of all its parameters. The copy
becomes the current layer, and is the highest-numbered layer in the program.
Import Layer (ImpLyr)
Copy a specific layer from another program into the current program. This button brings
up a dialog that prompts you to select a layer number and a program number. The dialog
tells you the currently selected layer, and the total number of layers in the program. Use
the Layer– or Layer+ soft buttons (or the alpha wheel) to change the layer number. If the
current program has only one layer, pressing these buttons will have no effect. Use Prog– or
Prog+ soft buttons (or the alpha wheel) to change the program number.
While you are in this dialog, you can listen to the layer you are selecting to import, along
with all other layers in the current program. If you want to hear the layer to be imported by
itself, you must mute the other layers.
When you have selected the desired layer from the desired program, press the Import soft
button, and the selected layer will be copied from the selected program, becoming the
current layer. Importing layers is a convenient alternative to creating layers from scratch. If
you have a favorite string sound, for example, and you want to use it in other programs, just
import its layer(s) into the program you're building. This will preserve the envelopes and all
the control settings so you don't have to reprogram them.
