The Rear Panel
The Pedal Jacks
The SW1 (Sustain) and SW2 Jacks
Use the pedal jacks to connect switch pedals. A switch pedal is a physical controller typically
used to control two-state (i.e., "on / off") parameters, such as sustain, sostenuto, soft and Mute
Zone.
The Forte SE SW1 and SW2 jacks can support a single or dual switch pedal on each jack, or a
single half-damper pedal on each jack.
If you are not using a Kurzweil switch pedal, make sure it's connected before you turn on the
Forte SE. This ensures that the pedal will work properly (it might function in reverse—off
when it's down and on when it's up—if you turn on your Forte SE before plugging in the
pedal). Similarly, don't press any of your switch pedals while powering up, as the Forte SE
verifies each pedal's orientation during power-up. If you're pressing a pedal, you might cause
it to work in reverse.

NOTE : Do not to step on the switch pedals when powering up the
Forte SE, as the state of the pedal is detected as part of the power up
sequence.
NOTE : It is not recommended to plug CC pedals into the SW inputs.
Due to the flexible switch pedal support, CC pedals may not operate
as expected in these inputs.
