e Forte SE always powers up in Program Mode. If you wish to play a Multi, simply press
the Multi Button. e Multi Button will light up to show that Multi Mode is selected. To
return to Program Mode, from a dierent mode, simply press the Program button. If the
User button is illuminated, then you are in the User Bank. Press the User button to return to
the Factory Bank, and the light will go out. In the Factory Bank, press one of the Category
Buttons to change Category, and that Category button will light up. Once you are in your
desired Category, press one of the Program/Multi buttons to select the program you want.
To select another Program or Multi within the same Category, just press a Program/Multi
Button, or use the Alpha Wheel, or Next/Previous Buttons.
To select a Program or Multi in another Category, press the desired Category Button,
followed by the desired Program/Multi Button. e Alpha Wheel and Next/Previous Buttons
will select the next Category once you get to the end of the current Category. Pressing a
Category Button will select the Category Default Program/Multi (by default this is set to
the rst Program/Multi of each category). For details on changing the Category Default
Program/Multi see Choosing Category Default Programs on page 6-6 or Choosing
Category Default Multis on page 10-5.
Controllers
e Sliders, Wheels, Pedals and Buttons can control each of the factory Programs and Multis,
to produce variations to the sound. Don’t forget to try these out as you explore the factory
sounds on the Forte SE. For details on controller assignments see Controller Conventions on
page 6-9.
Favorites
e Forte SE also features Favorites Buttons to quickly recall your favorite sounds. e
Favorites buttons store a set of 10 Programs and/or Multis. To assign the currently selected
Program or Multi to a Favorites button, press and hold the desired Favorites button for a
few seconds until the display indicates that the favorite has been saved. To recall a favorite
Program or Multi, simply press the one of the Favorites buttons. e Favorites buttons will
work from whichever mode you are currently in, changing to Program Mode or Multi Mode
automatically if required.
