Fill From ID
When the User Type parameter on the Global Mode Main page is set to Advanced, pressing
the Storage Page Load “Fill” soft button will show the “Fill from ID” dialog. When you
select a saved object le to load, “Fill from ID” allows you to choose the ID number at which
you would like to begin loading objects. is allows you to load user objects to specic IDs,
instead of always loading from the unused IDs starting at ID 1025. is can be useful for
loading saved user objects into category based ID ranges. For example, using Fill from ID
starting at ID 1041 will load program objects into the User Bank A E.Piano Category.
Loading .WAV and .AIF Audio Files
From the LOAD page, .WAV and .AIF audio les can be loaded and used with user created
keymaps (see “Building a Keymap” on page 9-9 and “Editing Samples” on page 9-10.)
Mono and stereo les can be loaded, 8 or 16 bit, with sample rates up to a maximum of
96000 Hz. Once samples are loaded to the Forte SE’s user sample ash memory, samples
remain in the Forte SE even when the power is o, until they are manually deleted. Also,
once samples are loaded to the Forte SE’s user sample ash memory, there is no load time for
those user samples when turning on the Forte SE.
To load a user audio le, select a .WAV or .AIF le from the LOAD page le list and press
the Fill soft button. (If the Global Mode User Type parameter is set to advanced, you will be
prompted to select an ID to ll from. In that case you must select an ID then press the Fill
soft button again to begin loading samples into unused user IDs).
On the EDIT:Keymap Main page (see “The Keymap Editor” on page 9-1) loaded audio
samples can be selected in the Sample eld. In the Sample eld, you can nd the audio le
you loaded by entering 1025 (or whichever ID you lled from) on the alphanumeric keypad
and pressing Enter. If you have previously loaded user samples, you may have to scroll above
1025 (or whichever ID you lled from) as your sample will have been loaded into the next
available unused ID.
Note: When transferring les to and from the Forte SE via the USB Computer Port, the
maximum size of les that can be transferred is approximately 20 MB. is is suitable for
most, non-sample objects. For transferring audio sample les, use the USB Storage Port with
a USB mass storage device such as a “thumb drive.” When using the USB Storage Port to
transfer les, the le size that can be transferred is limited only by the size of the USB mass
storage device, and the Forte SE’s available object and sample memory.
Loading Individual Objects From a .FSE or Compatible File Type
Since a .FSE le can contain thousands of objects, it is often useful to load only some of the
objects contained in a le. You can select individual objects or groups of objects (Programs,
Multis, etc) for loading from within a single .FSE, .FOR, .ASE, .ART, .P3A, .PC3, .P3K,
.PLE, or .SPX le.
