Global Mode
AUD-IN (Audio Input Page)
12-24
e FX settings on this page apply in Program and Multi Mode. In Multi Mode, these FX
settings can be overridden for each Multi by using the Multi Edit Audio Input page (for
details see Audio Input (AUD-IN) on page 11-32). If a Multi is selected which has its Audio
Input Mode set to “Multi Specic Eects”, the Global Mode Audio Input FX settings will be
ignored, and the Audio Input FX settings in the Multi will be used instead.
Level
e Level parameter controls the volume of devices plugged into the rear “Audio In” jack.
e default setting of 0dB should work well for most line level sources (such as MP3 players).
Adjust this parameter if the Audio Input signal is too quiet or too loud in comparison to the
sounds of the Forte SE.
FX
Set the FX parameter to On or O to enable or disable audio input eects.
Chain
When the Audio Input FX parameter is set to On, you can use the Chain parameter to
select an FX chain to apply to the rear panel 1/8” (3.5mm) input signal. If you wish to edit a
Chain, you can enter the Chain Editor by pressing the Edit button (see Ch. 8 The Effects
Chain Editor for details).
Note the “0 Units” in the middle of the top line of the page. is displays the number of FX
unit resources used by the selected Chain. ere are 32 FX unit resources shared by all MIDI
channels in the Forte SE. When selecting an Audio Input Chain, the Chain may steal FX
unit resources from other channels in order to load if more resources are needed to load the
Chain. When stealing occurs, resources in higher numbered channels will be stolen rst, and
in Program Mode resources in the currently selected channel will be stolen last.
Control
When the “Control” parameter is set to “No Real Time Control”, the Eects Chain Mods
are disabled. Set the “Control” parameter to “Current Channel Control” to enable the Eects
Chain Mods of the selected Chain. See the MODs section below for more details on Eect
Chain Mods.
In Program Mode, Mods assigned within the selected Audio Input Chain can be controlled
by the Forte SE’s physical controllers. See the MODs section below for more details.
