Param

The Param parameter selects which parameter of the specified box’s effect will be modulated.

Adjust

The Adjust parameter sets a fixed value for the specified parameter (Param) that is applied

before any modulation.

Source

The Source parameter determines the Control source that will modulate the parameter

(Param) value in real-time.
When the Source field is selected, you can quickly assign one of the Forte’s physical

controllers (sliders, mod wheel, pedals, etc.) by holding the Enter button and moving the

desired controller. The MIDI CC number associated with that controller will be selected. You

can also enter a CC number for external MIDI control, or select one of the Chain-specific

Control sources (FXLFOs, FXASRs, and FXFUNs).
When a MIDI CC number is selected for the Source field, a Chain info entry will be created

on the INFO page (unless that CC number is already used by another FX Mod). See the

INFO page

section below for details.

If you have selected a MIDI CC number or Forte physical controller, the FX Mod will

appear on the program Parameters page (unless that CC number is already used by another

FX Mod, in which case it will share the existing Parameter using that CC number or physical

controller). The program Parameters page allows you to set a default value for the FX Mod,

and also lets you select a different MIDI CC number or Forte physical controller if desired.

This is useful for changing the control source of existing FX Mods without editing the chain.
Note:

In some cases when entering a MIDI CC number, the source field will show the

standard MIDI name associated with that MIDI CC number. Note that the standard MIDI

names for CC numbers 15-19 and 80-83 are Ctl A through Ctl H, but these are unrelated to

Slider A though Slider H.
In Program Mode 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. The list below shows the available MIDI CC choices for the source field. MIDI

CC numbers associated with the Forte’s physical controllers are highlighted in bold type.
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.
