Control
e Control (middle) column determines which physical controller (or external MIDI CC
number) will control the parameter in the selected row. To quickly assign one of the Forte’s
physical controllers to a parameter, select the control column in the row of the desired
parameter, hold the Enter button and move the desired controller. Alternatively, you can
use the Alpha Wheel or the Value buttons to select a controller from the list, or type in the
controller’s MIDI number followed by the Enter button. See below for a list of Forte physical
controllers and their associated MIDI numbers.
If you want to disable the controller for a parameter, you can select a value of None by
scrolling to the bottom of the controller list (using the Alpha Wheel or the Value buttons), or
type -1 followed by the Enter button.
To choose an external MIDI CC number as a control source, you can enter the number of
the controller followed by the Enter button, or use the Alpha Wheel or the Value buttons.
e Forte’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 physical controller. e list
below shows the available choices for the Control column. MIDI CC numbers associated
with the Forte’s physical controllers are highlighted in bold type.
Table 7-1 The PARAMETER CONTROLS table
Important note about selecting a Control source
When you change the control source for a parameter, the new control source
immediately sets its current value for the MIDI value of the current parameter. If the
MIDI value of the parameter was set to None before changing the control source,
changing the control source will set a new MIDI value, but the Value column for the
parameter will still display None (see Important note about values of “None”.) is can
be troublesome if for example you were to change the Control Source for the Expression
parameter, you may accidentally set the MIDI Value to 0, but wouldn’t know it because
