Keyboard and Controllers
The Forte SE has an 88-key fully-weighted hammer action keyboard that provides you with
a piano-like feel without adding excessive weight to the instrument. The array of physical
controllers includes:
• 9 assignable sliders
• 11 programmable switches
• A pitch wheel
• A modulation wheel
• 2 jacks on the rear panel for up to 4 optional switch pedals or 2 half damper pedals:
SW1 (Sustain) & SW2
• 1 jack on the rear panel for an optional continuous controller pedal: CC (Volume)
Pedals (Optional)
As described above, the Forte SE has three jacks on the rear panel for optional pedal
controllers. Two jacks for switch pedals, which are typically used to control two-state (i.e.,
on / off) parameters such as sustain, sostenuto, and mute Zone. The third jack is for a
continuous control (or CC) pedal typically used to control multi-state (i.e., “continuous”)
parameters such as volume or wah.
Your Kurzweil dealer stocks the following pedals:
• FS-1
Standard box-shaped switch pedal
• KFP-1 Single piano-style switch pedal
