Transpose
The Transpose parameter determines the transposition for the currently selected Zone. You
can set this to any value from -128 semitones to 127 semitones.
Note Map
Note Map lets you change the way notes are sent from the Forte.
The default setting is Linear: all notes go out as played. Pressing the Minus button takes you
to Off; no notes are sent, but controllers and other non-note data are.
Setting Note Map to Inverse effectively turns the keyboard upside-down, with the highest
key being A 0 and the lowest C 9. If you set Note Map to Constant, all of the keys on the
keyboard will play the same note. The note defaults to C4, but you can change this with the
Transpose parameter. This works well when you want the sound from a particular key to play
with every note of another zone. For example, playing a ride cymbal with every note in a bass
line.
Next are the alternating note maps, which let you divide the keyboard in some unique ways.
If you are using two or more MIDI devices (including the Forte), you can expand polyphony
by assigning each zone to a different alternating note map. For example, if you have two
Fortes, you can assign two zones to each play the same program on a different Forte, thereby
doubling polyphony.
To split a zone into one of two alternating note maps, set Note Map to 1 of 2; now the zone
plays on every second key, starting on C, but won’t play on any other keys. Set another zone
to 2 of 2, and this zone will play on every second key, starting on C#, thus covering the
remaining keys. Three and four-zone alternating notemaps work the same way, but cause
each zone to play only on every third and every fourth key, respectively.
Destination
The Destination parameter determines whether MIDI data generated by the keyboard
and physical controllers of the currently selected Zone is sent to a Forte Program, through
the MIDI Out/USB ports, or all three. You can set this parameter to any of the eight
combinations for the three destinations for this parameter:
Note that this parameter works in conjunction with the Global parameter of the same name
(see page 12-15 ) and both are active. They act like filters, so if one is set to MIDI, and the
other is set to Local + MIDI, transmission will be limited to MIDI only.
CAUTION: It is possible to stop all MIDI transmission, in Multi Mode,
if one Destination parameter is set to Local, and the other is set to
MIDI.
