The Program FX (FX) Page
Press the FX soft button to call up the Program FX (FX) page. This is the page that you will
use to apply effects to a program, and to configure the routing of the various pre- and post-
FX audio signals. Effects chosen on this page affect every layer of the current program. The
The Layer FX (LYR_FX) Page on page 7-16
contains information on using layer-
specific effects. The FX page looks like this:

On the Forte SE, a program can have up to 11 insert effects and 2 aux effects using up to
32 DSP “units.” An insert is essentially just an effect that you apply to a program or layer,
while aux effects receive signal from all active programs’ aux sends. Note the 0/0 Units in the
middle of the top line of the page. This figure indicates how many of the total units are being
used by the highlighted insert; the left-hand number is the size of the insert, and the right-
hand number is the total number of units being used by the program.
If you exceed the maximum number of DSP units, the Forte SE will notify you that you have
done so, and no effects will be applied to the program.
Insert
The Insert effect is the effects chain that is applied to the main audio bus. When the Insert
field is selected, you can press the Edit button to edit the current Chain. For details on Chain
editing see Chapter 8, The Effects Chain Editor.
