If None Of The Above - Kurzweil FORTE SE Musician's Manual

Troubleshooting

If None of the Above...

For best results, use a Kurzweil CC-1 continuous control pedal, available from your
dealer. The CC-1 meets all of the requirements described above at an economical price. A
continuous control pedal should have an impedance between 5,000 and 100,000 ohms. An
impedance less than 5,000 may overload the reference voltage source in the Forte SE and
interfere with operation of other controls like the Master Volume slider or the other sliders.
An impedance more than 100,000 may result in electrically noisy operation, which may
cause your Forte SE to send MIDI controller messages constantly.
The taper of the control should be linear for easy, predictable control. Pedals designed for
volume control typically have an exponential (or anti log) taper, which results in most of
their range being concentrated in the upper half of pedal's path of travel.
Pedals may have a control range that is less than 100%. Make sure that when the pedal is
in the fully down position, its impedance is 0, and when it is in the fully up position, the
impedance is at its maximum rating.
If None of the Above...
If your problem is not covered above, or none of the suggestions seems to work, first check
back and review the relevant sections of this manual. Many difficulties are just programming
problems caused by settings of Multi parameters. If you want to be sure that all of the factory
defaults are in place, see
Also be sure to check out Kurzweil's website for additional Forte SE information that may
have been published since this manual was written: www.kurzweil.com.
If you still have problems, contact Kurzweil support in your country or at

Restoring Factory Defaults
There are two ways to restore factory defaults, both of which delete all User Programs and
User Multis. The first method is described on
