The Soft Buttons in the Program Editor
e Program Editor’s soft buttons are labeled by the words that appear in the bottom line of
the display. ese buttons have two important jobs in the Program Editor: selecting pages,
and selecting specic functions. If a soft button is labeled in all uppercase letters, pressing
it will take you to the page it describes. If the button is labeled in mixed uppercase and
lowercase letters, pressing it will execute the software function described by the label. Pressing
the LAYER soft button, for example, will take you to the Layer page, while pressing the
Delete soft button will initiate the process for deleting the currently selected program.
ere are more pages and functions in the Program Editor than there are soft buttons.
erefore, two of the soft buttons are dedicated to scrolling through the list of pages and
functions. If you don’t see the button for the page or function you want to select, press one
of the soft buttons labeled more, and the labels will change. is doesn’t change the currently
selected page, it merely changes the selection of available soft buttons.
Two of the soft buttons in the Program Editor are special cases. ey’re the soft buttons that
select the editing pages for the rst and last DSP functions (Pitch and Level, respectively) of
the current program’s algorithm. One of these soft buttons is labeled PITCH, and pressing it
will take you to the DSPCTL (DSP Control) page with the Pitch parameter highlighted. e
other one of these soft buttons is labeled AMP, and pressing it will take you to the DSPCTL
page with the Level parameter highlighted. Pressing the LAYER soft button, for example, will
take you to the Layer page, while pressing the ArpSav soft button will initiate the process for
saving the current Arpeggiator preset.
Assigning VAST Parameters to Control Sources
Many Forte SE program parameters can be assigned to be controlled by the Forte SE’s
physical controllers or by MIDI CCs from an external MIDI device. For details on
controllable parameters of VAST programs, see the following sections:
