Terminology
This chapter provides denitions and descriptions for all of the Forte-specic terms used in
this manual. Some of the terms are also used by other manufacturers.
Since there are no standard denitions for some of these terms, they are described here to
avoid confusion. All of these terms appear with the rst letter capitalized as proper nouns
in this manual to make it easy to distinguish between the generic term and the Forte-specic
term.
In addition to the terms below, and to avoid confusion, any Forte-specic feature, connector
or control will have the rst letter capitalized to distinguish it from the generic term.
Program
A Program is an instrument sound that plays on a MIDI
channel. The sound of each Program can be modied
by parameters that are assigned to the controllers (Sliders,
Switch Buttons, Mod Wheel, and Pedals).
See Program Mode on page 6-1 for more information on
Programs.
Multi
A Multi allows up to 4 instrument sounds (Programs) to be
played from the keyboard at once. A Multi has 4 Zones,
each with its own keyboard range, Program, MIDI channel,
and controller assignments.
See Multi Mode on page 8-1 for more information on
Multis.
