SONG (Song Mode)

Drum Remap
This parameter will remap all Drum programs to conform to the General MIDI (GM)
drum map, a standard drum map used in many keyboards and synthesizers. The GM drum
map isn't optimally intuitive in terms of playability, so by default the Forte SE uses a unique
keymap that is more intuitive and lends better to performance. However, the GM drum map
is so commonplace that many players feel more comfortable playing drum programs with
the GM drum map. Because of this, the Forte SE is designed such that you can remap drum
programs to the GM drum map.
When the Drum Remap is set to None, no remapping takes place in Program mode.
When the Drum Remap is set to GM, the Forte SE remaps Drum programs to the GM
drum map.
