Drum Remap
This parameter will remap all Drum programs to conform to the General MIDI (GM) drum
map, a standard drum map used in many keyboards and synthesizers. The GM drum map
isn’t optimally intuitive in terms of playability, so by default the Forte uses a unique keymap
that is more intuitive and lends better to performance. However, the GM drum map is so
commonplace that many players feel more comfortable playing drum programs with the GM
drum map. Because of this, the Forte is designed such that you can remap drum programs to
the GM drum map.
When the Drum Remap is set to None, no remapping takes place in Program mode.
When the Drum Remap is set to GM, the Forte remaps Drum programs to the GM drum
map.
Pedal Noise
Some piano Programs have a Pedal Noise feature programmed into the sound. This
parameter allows you to turn the Pedal Noise off if you prefer not to use it. If it is on, it will
only activate noise on those Programs that have been programmed to use it.
User Type
The User Type parameter allows you to show or hide advanced features of the Forte. By
default, User Type is set to Regular. Setting User Type to Regular hides advanced features
and makes some modes easier to navigate. Setting User Type to Advanced gives you access to
additional features.
See the chapter for each mode for details on Advanced features in each mode. Setting User
Type to Advanced enables the following features:
•Program and Multi mode: Access 16 Banks of Favorite Programs and Multis using
the Channel Up/Down buttons.
•Program Edit mode: Scroll through a larger range of FX Chain IDs.
•Multi Edit mode: Access 16 Zones.
•Program Edit and Global mode: Edit User Intonation Maps.
