VOICES
Pressing the Voices soft button calls up the Voice Status page, which shows the Forte’s active
voice channels as you play.
The Voice Status pages displays each active voice as an “M” for mono voices or displays
stereo pairs of voices as an “S”. Whatever symbol the page displays, when the key of a voice
is released, that voice’s symbol on the Voices Status page turns into a “D” during the release
portion of that voice’s envelope. When the voice decays to silence, it is no longer active, and
the “D” disappears.
The Voice Status page gives you an indication of the envelope level of each voice, though
not necessarily the volume level. Nonetheless, this can give you a valuable indication of how
your voices are being used. For example, if all or most of the voices are active, then there’s a
good chance that when voice stealing takes place an audible voice will be reallocated.
CPU usage is displayed in percent on the bottom of the page, which reects how much of
the Forte’s total available CPU power is being used from moment to moment. Generally,
having more voices, complex Programs and effects in use at once will result in higher CPU
usage.
