- For kb3 programs the sliders operate in a similar way to a hammond organ i e pulling the slider towards you increases the drawbar amount to help illustrate this the forte inverts the led ladders to indicate the drawbar slider position 41
- Forte controller conventions 41
- If you select a kb3 program the nine sliders act like tonewheel organ drawbars the labeling below the sliders applies to the kb3 programs indicating the drawbar registers that are modified by the slider 41
- In program mode most programs have slider a assigned to a filter or eq parameter in order to control the brightness of the sound in all programs and most multis slider i controls reverb amount while slider h usually controls a second effect such as delay echo amount the remaining sliders have different assignments depending on the selected program multi see the controller conventions diagram above for controller assignments commonly used by programs 41
- Real time control 41
- Sliders 41
- The nine sliders on the left of the front panel are assigned to control different sound parameters and effects for each program in multi mode sliders a d default to controlling volume for zones 1 4 the sliders can also send midi continuous controller values to external midi equipment each slider has a handy visual led ladder that indicates its current setting when a new program or multi is selected 41

- The parameter column will also display any available vast synthesis parameters for the current program and parameters for the current program s insert and auxiliary 1 and 2 effects if effects are in use all available parameters are listed 94
- This list shows the midi cc numbers associated with each controller the forte s physical controllers are highlighted in bold type this list can be helpful when changing the control for a parameter for example to set a parameter to be controlled by the zone 1 switch you can quickly select it by entering 80 for the control followed by pressing the enter button 94
- To choose an external midi cc number as a control source you can enter the number of the controller with the keypad function of the category buttons followed by the enter button or using the alpha wheel or the value buttons also the forte s physical controllers each use one of the available midi cc numbers so you must choose one of the other available cc numbers when using an external midi control source or else the parameter will also be controlled by a forte physical controller 94
- Use the control middle column to set one of the forte s physical controllers as a control source for a parameter use the alpha wheel or the value buttons to choose one of the forte s physical controllers as a control source or choose a value of none if you don t want to use a physical controller for this parameter you can also choose a value of none by entering 1 with the keypad function of the category buttons followed by the enter button 94
- Use the cursor buttons to select a parameter in the left column and use the alpha wheel value buttons or cursor up down buttons to scroll through parameters in that column effect chain parameters are named with prefixes based on their effect type either ins for parameters from insert effects or aux1 aux2 for parameters from aux effects effect chain parameters are also shown with different background colors to help visually separate insert and aux parameters 94
- Important note about selecting a control source 95
- Important note about values of none 95
- For all parameters with a value of none any values set with a physical control will not be saved when saving the program you must set the value column for that parameter to something other than none in order to set and save a value these values will remain set until changed with a controller or until a program is loaded on the current midi channel that does not have a value of none for these parameters 96

- Commonly you will want to assign a physical controller in a multi to control the same program parameter that it controlled in program mode in the destination parameter list destinations that are assigned to parameters for the program of the current zone will show the program parameter name in place of the standard controller destination name select one of these destinations to control an assigned program parameter 144

- The destination parameter determines the midi cc controller number that a physical controller will send to the program in the currently selected zone by default these cc messages are also sent to the midi out and usb ports on the channel of that zone 144
- The list of cc controller numbers below shows the default assignments for each destination programs respond to some of these ccs for standard midi functions like volume and panning other external midi gear sound modules computer software may respond to standard midi cc messages as well 144
- The table below contains the available values for the midi cc continuous controller destinations the forte s physical controllers can send midi values to these destinations in order to control the parameters of forte programs multis forte system parameters or external midi equipment 144
- Use the destination parameter to assign the forte physical controllers sliders pedals switches mod wheel etc to control program parameters or send midi continuous controller messages ccs to external midi gear if a cc number is assigned to a parameter in the program of the current zone the parameter name will be listed in the destination list in place of that cc number 144

- The tuning parameter allows you to fine tune the unit in cents one cent is one hundredth of a semitone 100 cents comprise a semitone you can select any tuning from 100 cents to 100 cents by default this parameter is set to 0 153

- The main2 page in global mode allows you to set up the feel and response of the forte keyboard to your playing style the intonation key of music as well as how pianos and drums respond 156
- When a multi is selected this parameter determines how the sliders respond to movement when set to instant moving a slider will result in the assigned parameter immediately jumping to the slider position with some parameters an abrupt change to the sound may be undesirable in this case set this parameter to passentry and the slider will only become active when the slider is moved past the multi entry value this results in smooth changes to the sound 156

- Global mode main2 page 158
- However many different intonation intervals have evolved over the centuries and across cultures and instruments so equal temperament will not sound appropriate for certain styles of music the forte supplies you with 18 different factory intonation maps which are useful for a range of different styles you can further customize each map or create your own by editing a map see editing intonation maps below each of these maps defines different intervals between each of the semitones in a single octave used for all octaves by setting pitch offsets for each note in cents 158
- Intonation map 158
- Like many instruments before the adaptation of equal temperament most of these intonation maps were designed to sound best in one specific key though some may have historically been in a different key all of the forte s factory intonation maps are set to root note c by default you can change the root key of the current intonation map by using the int key parameter see the intonation key int key section below 158
- Most modern western music uses what is known as equal temperament this means that the interval between each semitone of the 12 tone octave is precisely the same as every other semitone 158

- By default kb3 organ programs have the slow fast speed control for the rotary speaker effect assigned to the variation button and the sustain pedal sw1 the rotary override parameter allows you set the sustain pedal to function as sustain for all kb3 programs instead of rotary slow fast the variation button will always control the rotary speed regardless of this parameter s setting 162
