Key Controllers

When the Controller parameter is set to a Key (Key1-Key12) and Mode is set to something

other than “Off” the Key controller parameters appear.

Key

Use the Controller parameter “Key” to select which of the Forte’s Keys you wish to use as a

switch controller. With the Key parameter selected, you can set a key by holding the Enter

button and striking the desired key.

Do

The Do parameter determines whether the key will play a note and perform a switch

function, or whether the key will only perform a switch function. Set the Do parameter to

“Both” to play a note and perform a switch function, or set it to “OnlySw” to only perform a

switch function.
The list of CC controller numbers below (see

page 11-26

) 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. Standard MIDI CC’s range from 0-127 and

can be received by the Forte from external devices, while destinations 128-146 are internal to

the Forte only.

Key1.....Key8

When the Mode is set to “Chord” the Key1-8 parameters are available . Use the Key(1 to 8)

parameters to select the note to be played. The note is displayed by MIDI note name.
To select a note, select the KeyNum field with the cursor buttons, hold the Enter button on

the alphanumeric pad, then play the desired note on the keyboard. You can also change the

note in the field by using the Alpha Wheel or -/+ buttons.
