Features of the Forte and Forte7
3-13
Previous (–) and Next (+) Value Buttons
Use the Previous and Next buttons to scroll through the list of values for the currently
selected parameter. Pressing both the Previous and Next buttons simultaneously is referred
to as the Value Jump double button press. Depending on the selected parameter, Value Jump
can select the next Category default Program/Multi, jump to commonly used values, and
reset parameters to default values. For more information, see Value Jump on page 3-16.
Channel / Zone Buttons
In Program Mode, pressing the Channel / Zone Up button will change the MIDI transmit
channel from the current channel to the next one; pressing the Channel / Zone Down
button will change the MIDI transmit channel from the current channel to the previous one.
The top line of the display shows the current MIDI transmit channel. When the highest or
lowest MIDI transmit channel is reached, the list will wrap back to the first or last MIDI
transit channel respectively.
Pressing the Channel / Zone up down buttons simultaneously in Program Mode will reset
the MIDI Channel to 1.
In Program and Multi Mode, if Favorites view is selected and the Global Mode User Type
parameter has been set to Advanced, the Channel / Zone up/down buttons will cycle through
16 banks of 10 favorite Programs/Multis. The current Favorites Bank number is displayed in
the upper right hand corner of the screen.
In Multi Edit mode, pressing the Channel / Zone buttons will change the currently selected
Zone on the Main page & Controls page.
NOTE : The Channel / Zone buttons are not used in Global Mode.
Alpha Wheel
Use the Alpha Wheel to scroll through the list of values for the currently selected
parameter—turning the Alpha Wheel counter-clockwise will select the previous value and
turning the Alpha Wheel clockwise will select the next value. You can turn the Alpha Wheel
slowly to change the value by one increment or turn it quickly to jump several increments.
