Editing VAST Programs
The Forte SE offers two powerful editing features: Cascade Mode and Dynamic VAST .
• Cascade Mode lets you route any layer of a program into the DSP of any other layer.
• Dynamic VAST lets you "wire" your own algorithms. You can combine different
The Program Editor is where you begin to modify the Forte SE's resident sounds, and to
build your own sounds around sample keymaps or KVA oscillators (see

limit to the sounds you can create using the tools in the Program Editor.
Note: This section describes the Program Editor as it applies to VAST programs. See
Editing KB3 Programs on page 7-81
To enter the Program Editor, start in Program mode and press the Edit button. The Program
Parameters PARAMS page will appear.
The top line of the display indicates your location and which layer you're viewing, and how
many layers there are in the program (if you are viewing a layer specific page). You can use
the Channel/Layer/Zone buttons to scroll through the layers, if the program has more than
one.
Here's a method for jumping quickly to a specific layer in a program—it's especially useful
in multi-layered drum programs. Hold the Enter button and strike a key. The display will
show the layer(s) assigned to that key. If more than one layer is assigned to the same key,
repeatedly striking the key (while continuing to hold the Enter button) will cycle through all
layers assigned to that key. This method will work in most places within the Program Editor,
but there is an exception: if the parameter you have highlighted has a note number or control
source as its value, then holding Enter and striking a note will call up that note or control
source. For all other parameters, however, this method will switch between layers.
