For each program, the Program Editor can be used to assign the Forte’s physical controllers
or external MIDI controller CC numbers to control program parameters. When editing a
factory program, the PARAMS page will list all parameters that have already been assigned to
a physical controller or MIDI CC. To add additional controller assignments for parameters
that are not listed on the PARAMS page, an assignment must be made on one of the VAST
pages.
In the VAST editor pages, controllable parameters each have a source field. Make
assignments to the source field for the desired parameter. Source fields are named differently
depending on their page: Src1, Src2, RateCt, Trigger, Input a, Input b, and Source. Internal
control sources can also be selected here such as LFOs, Envelopes, Key Number, Key
Velocity, Key Pressure, FUNs, Clocks, and more. See
find these internal control sources in each control source list.
To assign a Forte physical controller, select the source field for the parameter, hold the Enter
button and move the controller.
To assign a CC number to a source field, enter a number from 1-31 or 64-95 with the
alphanumeric pad, then press Enter. A CC number for an external controller can also be set
by selecting the source field for the parameter, holding the Enter button, and sending a CC
value from the external MIDI controller. 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. See the
The PARAMETER CONTROLS table on page 7-11
for a list of CC numbers used by the Forte’s physical controllers. Some MIDI CCs are also
hard wired to control certain program parameters or functions such as MIDI 5 (Portamento
Time), MIDI 7 (Program Volume), MIDI 10 (Pan), MIDI 11 (Expression/Program
Volume), MIDI 64 (Sustain), MIDI 66 (Sostenuto), so if you use one of these numbers the
CC will always perform the hard wired function, in addition to any other assignment you
make.
