MAPS Page
The MAPS page in Global Mode allows you to set up the feel and response of the Forte
SE keyboard to your playing style, the intonation key of music, as well as how pianos and
drums respond.
Velocity Map
The Velocity Map parameter determines the way the Forte SE generates MIDI velocity
information. Different maps generate different MIDI velocity values for the same physical
key strike velocity.
The default map (Linear) provides the widest range of velocity expression, but you may want
to choose a different map if the default does not suit your playing style. You can select from
any of the following settings:

DrumRemap
Light3
Makes it increasingly easier to produce high MIDI velocity values for the
same key strike velocity (with Light3 being the easiest). These maps
Light2
work best for those with a light touch.
Light1
The Forte default map. Linear, allows MIDI velocities to pass
Linear
unchanged. It follows a linear response.
Hard1 Makes it increasingly harder to produce high MIDI velocity values for the
same key strike velocity (with Hard3 being the hardest). These maps
Hard2
work best for those with a heavy touch.
Hard3
Simulates the general velocity response of an acoustic piano, and is
best suited for playing acoustic piano programs.
