e next four velocity curves are Reverse Linear (Rvrs Linear), Reverse Expand (Rvrs

Expand), Reverse Compress (Rvrs Compress), and Reverse Crossfade (Rvrs Crossfade).

ese taper velocity in reverse of the ve curves we just covered. For example, Reverse

Linear’s response is such that striking a key harder will produce a lower volume, striking it

softer will produce a higher volume, and so on. is provides a convenient way to achieve

negative scaling, by letting you set one parameter instead of two.

Entry Position

e Entry Position value allows you to specify an initial value for a controller in a setup that

will be sent whenever you select that Multi. For example, if you want to make sure that all of

the modulation in a zone is turned o when you select a Multi, assign a physical controller to

a destination of MIDI 01 (MWheel) and set Entry Value to 0.

Entry Position refers to the position of the physical controller. For Sliders the Entry Position

is indicated by the LED Ladder along side the Slider. e Entry Position is common to all

Zones, however the Curve, Scale and Add modiers are applied to the Entry Position (and

the controller value) individually on each zone, allowing the one controller to send dierent

values to the assigned destinations on dierent zones, if desired.

Entry Position ignores the current position of the physical controller when the Multi is

selected. In fact, if the Multi Controllers parameter in Global Mode (see page 10-6) is set to

Pass Entry, and the physical controller is above or below the entry value when the Multi is

selected (which it often is), moving the controller will have no eect until it is past the entry

value. In the modulation example above, moving the assigned controller won’t turn on any

modulation until it’s pushed all the way down, and then up again.

If the Multi Controllers parameter is set to Instant, any movement of the physical controller

will immediately be assigned to the controller. is may cause an abrupt change in the

sound.

An Entry Position of None is quite dierent from a value of 0. None means that there will be

no initial controller command when the Multi is selected, and any subsequent movement of

the physical controller will be eective.

Exit Value

e Exit Value tells the Forte to send a value for that controller whenever you leave the

Multi, either by selecting another Multi or by selecting a dierent mode altogether. It can be

very useful when a controller is doing something to the sound, and you don’t want that eect

to continue after you leave the Multi.

For example, if you want to make sure a zone’s modulation wheel returns to normal

whenever you leave a Multi, you would set Exit Value to 0.

A setting of None means no command is sent. e Exit Value is not common to all Zones

and can be set individually on each Zone, for each controller.
