Program Edit Mode
Splits and Layers
Programs can be Split into Multis, so that keys in one region of the keyboard play a different
program than another region. Programs can also be Layered into Multis, so that more than
one Program can be played by striking one key. Press the Split or Layer soft button to create a
Split or Layer Multi containing the current Program. You will then be able to add up to three
additional programs to create a Split or Layered Multi containing up to four Programs.
In Multi Edit Mode a total of 8 Zones can be used if the Global Mode User Type parameter
is set to Advanced.
Program Edit Mode
Program Edit mode allows you to modify the Forte SE's factory sounds, and to build your
own sounds around sample keymaps or KVA oscillators. You can create Programs with up
to 32 layers of samples and/or oscillators, and you can also apply various DSP functions and
modulation sources, as well as complex Insert and Auxiliary audio effects. There's virtually no
limit to the sounds you can create using the tools in the Program Editor.
Multi Mode
Multi mode allows you to play Multis, which are arrangements of up to 8 Programs split
and/or layered in Zones across selected ranges of the keyboard. By default the volume of the
Program in each of the first four Zones can be easily adjusted while playing by using sliders A
through D, and each Zone can be muted and enabled by using the Zone Mute buttons above
these sliders. You can create custom assignments for the remaining sliders, buttons and foot
controllers to control effects and synthesis parameters of each Program.
Multi Edit Mode
Multi Edit Mode is used to modify the many parameters that make up Multis, including
Program Selection, Volume, Pan, Controller assignments, effects and the layering and split
options. Multi Edit Mode allows for powerful customizations of the many built in sounds
available on Forte SE and allows you to make new and unique sound combinations for your
own performances and compositions.
Global Mode
Global Mode gives you access to the global parameters of the Forte SE. It allows you to edit
the master settings of the unit. It also allows you to restore factory defaults on the unit by
performing a Hard Reset. Some of the more common settings are summarized below.
MIDI Settings
MIDI channels, modes and other parameters related to transmitting and receiving MIDI are
set within the MIDI pages.
