Multi Edit Mode
CONTROLS Page
9-22
Entry Position ignores the current position of the physical controller when the Multi is
selected. In fact, if the Multi Controllers parameter in Global Mode (see page 10-5) is set to
Pass Entry, and the physical controller is above or below the entry value when the Multi is
selected (which it often is), moving the controller will have no effect until it is past the entry
value. In the modulation example above, moving the assigned controller won’t turn on any
modulation until it’s pushed all the way down, and then up again.
If the Multi Controllers parameter is set to Instant, any movement of the physical controller
will immediately be assigned to the controller. This may cause an abrupt change in the
sound.
An Entry Position of None is quite different from a value of 0. None means that there will
be no initial controller command when the Multi is selected, and any subsequent movement
of the physical controller will be effective.
Exit Value
The Exit Value tells the Forte to send a value for that controller whenever you leave the
Multi, either by selecting another Multi or by selecting a different mode altogether. It can
be very useful when a controller is doing something to the sound, and you don’t want that
effect to continue after you leave the Multi.
For example, if you want to make sure a zone’s modulation wheel returns to normal
whenever you leave a Multi, you would set Exit Value to 0.
A setting of None means no command is sent. The Exit Value is not common to all Zones
and can be set individually on each Zone, for each controller.
Destination
Use the Destination parameter to assign the Forte physical controllers (Sliders, Pedals,
Switches, Mod Wheel, etc.) to control Program parameters or send MIDI continuous
controller messages (CCs) to external MIDI gear. If a CC number is assigned to a parameter
in the Program of the current Zone, the parameter name will be listed in the Destination list
in place of that CC number.
The Destination parameter determines the MIDI CC controller number that a physical
controller will send to the Program in the currently selected Zone. By default, these CC
messages are also sent to the MIDI Out and USB ports on the Channel of that Zone.
The list of CC controller numbers below shows the default assignments for each destination.
Programs respond to some of these CCs for standard MIDI functions like volume and
panning. Other external MIDI gear (sound modules, computer software) may respond to
standard MIDI CC messages as well.
