Getting Started
2-5
By sliding the switch on the rear panel from Thru to Out, the Forte sends MIDI Out messages
on both the Thru and Out ports. The USB ports can also be used to transmit MIDI messages.
Basic MIDI Hookup
To use the Forte as a MIDI controller for another sound module, use a MIDI cable to connect
the MIDI port marked “OUT” to the MIDI input port of the module that you want to
control.
To control the Forte using another MIDI controller, use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI
port marked “IN” to the MIDI output port of the controller that you will be using.

Using Forte MIDI In
Connecting More Sound Modules
In order to connect multiple sound modules to be controlled by a single MIDI controller,
the Forte can either be :
(1) Used as the controller.
(2) Or as a module in the MIDI daisy chain.
If the Forte is in the middle of the MIDI daisy chain, ensure that the MIDI Thru/Out
selecter is set to Thru.
