Introducing the Forte

1-2

The Forte’s new piano sounds offer a full range of dynamics, from the most delicate

pianissimo to the full-on thunder of the heaviest fortissimo. These piano sounds utilize long

unlooped samples allowing for beautiful harmonic interplay between sustained notes.
Mechanical key release and pedal samples provide added realism. The Forte’s Piano programs

can also be played with “Half Damper” sustain pedal techniques (this requires a continuous

switch pedal, see “Connecting a Half Damper Pedal” on page 2-8 for details).
Also included are rich new orchestral percussion instruments such as Celeste, Bells,

Glockenspiel, Chimes, and Crotales (hit and bowed).
Forte also includes our fully featured Kurzweil KB3 ToneReal™ organ simulator designed to

emulate classic tone wheel organs like the Hammond B3, as well as Farfisa and Vox organs.
The Forte is also a very capable MIDI controller ideally suited to controlling additional

sound modules and as input to a sequencer.
