Transpose

e Transpose parameter determines the transposition for the currently selected Zone. You

can set this to any value from -128 semitones to 127 semitones.

Note Map

Note Map lets you change the way notes are sent from the Forte.

e default setting is Linear: all notes go out as played. Pressing the Minus button takes you

to O; no notes are sent, but controllers and other non-note data are.

Setting Note Map to Inverse eectively turns the keyboard upside-down, with the highest

key being A 0 and the lowest C 9. If you set Note Map to Constant, all of the keys on the

keyboard will play the same note. e note defaults to C4, but you can change this with the

Transpose parameter. is works well when you want the sound from a particular key to play

with every note of another zone. For example, playing a ride cymbal with every note in a bass

line.

Next are the alternating note maps, which let you divide the keyboard in some unique ways.

If you are using two or more MIDI devices (including the Forte), you can expand polyphony

by assigning each zone to a dierent alternating note map. For example, if you have two

Fortes, you can assign two zones to each play the same program on a dierent Forte, thereby

doubling polyphony.

To split a zone into one of two alternating note maps, set Note Map to 1 of 2; now the zone

plays on every second key, starting on C, but won’t play on any other keys. Set another zone

to 2 of 2, and this zone will play on every second key, starting on C#, thus covering the

remaining keys. ree and four-zone alternating notemaps work the same way, but cause

each zone to play only on every third and every fourth key, respectively.

Destination

e Destination parameter determines whether MIDI data generated by the keyboard

and physical controllers of the currently selected Zone is sent to a Forte Program, through

the MIDI Out/USB ports, or all three. You can set this parameter to any of the eight

combinations for the three destinations for this parameter:

Note that this parameter works in conjunction with the Global parameter of the same name

(see page 10-13) and both are active. ey act like lters, so if one is set to MIDI, and the

other is set to Local + MIDI, transmission will be limited to MIDI only.

CAUTION: It is possible to stop all MIDI transmission, in Multi Mode,

if one Destination parameter is set to Local, and the other is set to

MIDI.
