Editing VAST Programs
e Forte oers two powerful editing features: Cascade Mode and Dynamic VAST .
• Cascade Mode lets you route any layer of a program into the DSP of any other layer.
Any of the 32 layers of a program can go into any other layer.
• Dynamic VAST lets you “wire” your own algorithms. You can combine dierent
DSP functions in any order you like, including parallel and serial congurations.
e Program Editor is where you begin to modify the Forte’s resident sounds, and to build
your own sounds around sample keymaps or KVA oscillators (see Editing VAST Programs
With KVA Oscillators on page 7-72 for some dierences). ere’s virtually no limit to the
sounds you can create using the tools in the Program Editor.
Note: is section describes the Program Editor as it applies to VAST programs. See
Editing KB3 Programs for information about editing KB3 programs.
The Soft Buttons in the Program Editor
ere are more pages and functions in the advanced 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.
Assigning VAST Parameters to Control Sources
Many Forte program parameters can be assigned to be controlled by the Forte’s physical
controllers or by MIDI CCs from an external MIDI device. For details on controllable
parameters of VAST programs, see the following sections:
