Pitch Wheel
The Pitch Wheel is the left most of the two wheels. It is spring-loaded, such that its center
position is restored when it is not being used. That is because the Pitch Wheel is used for
pitch-bending notes—its "off" position is in the center. Pushing the Pitch Wheel up bends
the pitches of all notes up. Pulling the Pitch Wheel down bends the pitches of all notes
down.
For some Programs the Pitch Wheel will not bend notes that are held by the sustain pedal.
This is how many Guitar and Bass Programs are configured, allowing played notes to be bent
over sustained notes. You can adjust the Pitch Wheel bend amount for each Program/Multi
by using the parameters on the
Bend Up / Down CT on page 11-13
Modulation Wheel
The Modulation Wheel is the right most of the two wheels. Unlike the Pitch Wheel, the
Modulation Wheel is not spring loaded, and can be set to and left in any position between
fully up and fully down. Typically, the Modulation Wheel is assigned to a parameter that
alters some aspect of the sound (e.g., vibrato, filter depth) when changed.
When a KB3 Program is in use, the Modulation Wheel is assigned to control distortion.
Foot Switches and Controllers
The Forte SE has sophisticated Pedal controller options allowing up to 4 Switch Pedals or
up to 2 Half Damper Pedals as well as a Continous Controller Pedal to be connected. By
default the Switch Pedals control SW1a - Sustain, SW1b - Sostenuto, SW2a - Sostenuto and
SW2b - Soft. The CC Pedal controls expression (volume) by default.
