Bank Sel (Bank Select)
e Bank Mode parameter determines the controller number with which MIDI Bank change
messages are received.
For MIDI Bank change messages, various manufacturers have chosen dierent MIDI
controller numbers. Most have chosen Ctl 0, Ctl 32, or both. You can set this parameter to
any of the following three controller IDs:
Ctl 0 MIDI Bank change messages are sent with controller number 0.
Ctl 32 MIDI Bank change messages are sent with controller number 32.
Ctl 0 / 32 MIDI Bank change messages are sent with both controller numbers 0 and 32.
PrgChgMod (Program Change Mode)
e Program Change Mode parameter determines the format of program change messages
received by the Forte SE.
Program Change Type For Use With
Extended
Bank changes and Program changes. A bank has 128 IDs. Note
that our system will recognize 16 banks, from 0 to 15. (2048 IDs).
This is for connecting a generic MIDI device as a controller
device..
K2600
Bank changes and Program changes. A bank has 100 IDs. Our
system will recognize in this case 21 banks, from 0 to 20. For
example, with MIDI out from a K2600 into the MIDI in of the Forte
SE, if you scroll or enter a number in the K2600, you will see the
same numbers in the K2600 and in the Forte if the programs exist.
LocKbdChan (Local Keyboard Channel)
e Local Keyboard Channel enables an external MIDI keyboard to function as if it is the
Forte SE’s keyboard and physical controllers. is allows all Channels/Zones of a Multi to
be played simultaneously from an external MIDI keyboard transmitting on a single MIDI
channel (or a single MIDI channel of a sequencer), with split and layered Zones laid out
across the external MIDI keyboard. To do this, set LocKbdChan to the same MIDI channel
that your external MIDI keyboard or sequencer is transmitting.
If you are not using an external MIDI device to play Multis, you can ignore this parameter
and leave it set to None. When Local Keyboard Channel is set to None, an external MIDI
device transmitting on one channel will only play one Channel/Zone of a Multi.
In Program Mode, an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer transmitting on the
LocKbdChan will always play the Program on the currently selected Program Mode MIDI
channel.
