For each program, the Program Editor can be used to assign the Forte SE’s physical
controllers or external MIDI controller CC numbers to control program parameters. When
editing a factory program, the Parameters page will list all parameters that have already been
assigned to a physical controller or MIDI CC. To add additional controller assignments for
parameters that are not listed on the Parameters page, an assignment must be made on one of
the VAST pages.
In the VAST editor pages, controllable parameters each have a source eld. Make
assignments to the source eld for the desired parameter. Source elds are named dierently
depending on their page: Src1, Src2, RateCt, Trigger, Input a, Input b, and Source. Internal
control sources can also be selected here such as LFOs, Envelopes, Key Number, Key
Velocity, Key Pressure, FUNs, Clocks, and more.
To assign a Forte SE physical controller, select the source eld for the parameter, hold the
Enter button and move the controller.
To assign a CC number to a source eld, enter a number from 1-31 or 64-95 with the
alphanumeric pad, then press Enter. A CC number for an external controller can also be set
by selecting the source eld for the parameter, holding the Enter button, and sending a CC
value from the external MIDI controller. e Forte SE’s physical controllers each use one of
the available MIDI CC numbers, so you must choose one of the other available CC numbers
when using an external MIDI control source or else the parameter will also be controlled
by a Forte SE physical controller. See the PARAMETER CONTROLS on page 7-11 for
a list of CC numbers used by the Forte SE’s physical controllers. Some MIDI CCs are also
hard wired to control certain program parameters or functions such as MIDI 5 (Portamento
Time), MIDI 7 (Program Volume), MIDI 10 (Pan), MIDI 11 (Expression/Program
Volume), MIDI 64 (Sustain), MIDI 66 (Sostenuto), so if you use one of these numbers the
CC will always perform the hard wired function, in addition to any other assignment you
make.
Note: When assigning a physical controller or CC number to a source eld, the source eld will
either show a MIDI CC number, or the standard MIDI name associated with that MIDI CC
number. For example, when assigning a parameter to be controlled by Slider A, the source eld
will show MIDI 12 when Slider A is selected, because MIDI 12 does not have a standard MIDI
name. When assigning a parameter to be controlled by the Mod Wheel, the source eld will show
MWheel when the Mod Wheel is selected, because MWheel is the standard MIDI name for CC
1. When assigning a parameter to be controlled by MIDI CC 16, the source eld will show Ctl A,
keep in mind that Ctl A is the standard MIDI name for CC 16 and is unrelated to Slider A. MIDI
CCs 17-19 and 80-83 are also respectively named Ctl B-H, but are unrelated to Sliders B-H.
