Introducing the Forte
Congratulations on your purchase of a Kurzweil Forte® Stage Piano! Keep the manual
on hand as you continue to familiarize yourself with the features and functions of your
instrument.
Using this Guide with the Forte7
This manual is designed to cover both the Forte® and Forte®7 pianos. These instruments share
common features and the term “Forte” is used to cover a description of both. Where there are
differences, we use the name “Forte7” to help instruct owners of that instrument.
Introduction
The Forte Stage Piano is the most advanced keyboard to ever bear the Kurzweil logo.
Featuring Flash-Play technology and a high resolution color display, the Forte boasts
hundreds of excellent preset sounds, with a massive 16GB of ROM and 128 voice
polyphony. The Forte’s new sounds are modeled after Steinway Hamburg D and Vintage
Yamaha C7 pianos, Rhodes (‘73 and ‘77) and Wurlitzer electric pianos, Clavinet D6 (rhythm
and treble pickups) and French Harpsichord (five dispositions).
