The parameter column will also display any available VAST synthesis parameters for the
current program and parameters for the current program’s insert and auxiliary 1 and 2
effects (if effects are in use.) All available parameters are listed.
Control
Use the Control (middle) column to set one of the Forte’s physical controllers as a control
source for a parameter. Use the Alpha Wheel or the Value buttons to choose one of the
Forte’s physical controllers as a control source, or choose a value of None if you don’t want
to use a physical controller for this parameter. You can also choose a value of None by
entering -1 with the keypad function of the Category buttons followed by the Enter button.
To choose an external MIDI CC number as a control source, you can enter the number
of the controller with the keypad function of the Category buttons followed by the Enter
button, or using the Alpha Wheel or the Value buttons. Also, the 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.
This list shows the MIDI CC numbers associated with each controller. The Forte’s physical
controllers are highlighted in bold type. This list can be helpful when changing the Control
for a parameter. For example, to set a parameter to be controlled by the Zone 1 Switch, you
can quickly select it by entering 80 for the control, followed by pressing the Enter button.

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”.) This
can be troublesome if for example you were to change the Control Source for the
