Connecting to a Computer
To connect the Forte SE to a computer/tablet, simply connect the Forte SE using the
provided or compatible cable.
If you wish to use your own cable, make sure that it is a Type-A-to-Type-B USB cable (the
USB port of Forte SE being Type B). By default, the Forte SE will act as a MIDI controller
(rather than a hard drive) when connected to a computer.
NOTE : Some devices like the iPad® will require you to purchase adaptors to connect a
USB cable.
Forte SE Sounds
The Forte SE supports two types of sounds. The first type is a Program, and these are
normally a single instrument, such as a piano, or an organ. A Program is similar to a "preset"
or "patch" on other synthesizers. Both factory and User Programs are arranged into 16
categories of 16 sounds each.
The other type of sound is the more complex Multi. A Multi is a combination of Programs
arranged as layers and splits across the keyboard. They are similar to setups, from the
Kurzweil PC series, SP series and K2 series, and are similar to Combis or Multis from other
synthesizers. Similar to selecting Programs, the Category buttons allow you to navigate
through this list of Multis in groups of 16 Multis at a time, although Multis are not
categorized by instrument type.
The Forte SE has been designed so that it is quick and easy to select Programs and Multis
from the front panel. Use the following guide to audition the factory sounds on the Forte SE.
