Terminology
This chapter provides definitions and descriptions for all of the Forte SE-specific terms used
in this manual. Some of the terms are also used by other manufacturers.
Since there are no standard definitions for some of these terms, they are described here to
avoid confusion. All of these terms appear with the first letter capitalized as proper nouns in
this manual to make it easy to distinguish between the generic term and the Forte SE specific
term.
In addition to the terms below, and to avoid confusion, any Forte SE specific feature,
connector or control will have the first letter capitalized to distinguish it from the generic
term.
Program
A Program is an instrument sound that plays on a MIDI
channel. The sound of each Program can be modified by
parameters that are assigned to the controllers (Sliders,
Switch buttons, Mod Wheel, and Pedals).
See
for more information on
Programs.
Multi
A Multi allows up to 8 instrument sounds (Programs) to
be played from the keyboard at once. A Multi has up to 8
Zones, each with its own keyboard range, Program, MIDI
channel, and controller assignments.

Ch. 10 Multi Mode, on page 10-1
