Hardware Operation; Oled And Mode Icons - Focusrite Forte User Manual

Hardware Operation

Many of Forte's main operating features may also be controlled from the hardware controller itself.
The rotary control, colour OLED display and touch icons provide a simple interface which does not
require continuous access to the on-screen Forte Control application.
The default display on the OLED is a bargraph representation, with input channels on the left, main
outputs in the centre and headphones output on the right.
Selecting any of the three main modes via the touch icons – Input, Main and Headphones - cause the
bargraph display to temporarily compress to show additional textual information: with a compressed
display, the two wide bargraphs are always those showing the signal level relevant to the selected
Mode; i.e., if you select Main Output Mode, the inputs and Headphone outputs will continue to be
represented, but as thin bargraphs at the sides of the display.
