The Rear Panel
The Pedal Jacks
GS-5
Pedals are all independently assignable within each Zone of every Multi.
On the back panel the Pedals are labeled as SWITCH 1/2/3, corresponding to the SW 1/2/3
labelling on the top panel. In this manual the Switch Pedals will be referred to as per the top
panel (SW1, SW2 and SW3)
Here are the default control settings for the ve pedals used by the Forte:
Switch Pedal 1 (SW1) Sustain (MIDI 64)
Switch Pedal 2 (SW2) Sostenuto (MIDI 66)
Switch Pedal 3 (SW3) Soft (MIDI 67)
CC Pedal 1 (CC1) Expression (Volume) (MIDI 11)
CC Pedal 2 (CC2) Foot (MIDI 4)
The SW1 (Sustain), SW2 and SW3 Jacks
Use the pedal jacks to connect switch pedals. A switch pedal is a physical controller typically
used to control two-state (i.e., “on / o”) parameters, such as sustain, sostenuto, soft and Mute
Zone.
NOTE : Do not to step on the switch pedals when powering up the Forte,
as the state of the pedal is detected as part of the power up sequence.
