STATE
This utility shows the internal state of the MIDI CCs and pitch bend in any channel at a
particular time.
Typical use: “My channel X does not make any sound”. Is it MIDI 7 (Volume), is it MIDI
11 (Expression) or is it something else? With STATE you can check the status for various
CCs per channel. Use the navigation buttons to select the Channel or MIDI CC fields, then
use the alpha wheel or previous/next buttons to select the desired Channel and MIDI CC to
view.
ABOUT
The ABOUT Page displays the Forte SE splash screen and automatically scrolls a list of
credits and acknowledgments.
SAMPLE (Samples Memory Map Page)
Press the SAMPLE soft button to view the Samples Memory Map page. The Total Available
field allows you to monitor how much user sample space is available (out of 188 MB).
When some user sample memory has been used, it is represented on this page by solid blocks
of pixels. If you have loaded and deleted many samples, the page will likely show many
empty blocks of pixels between solid blocks (known as fragmented memory).
Large user samples must be loaded into adjacent blocks of memory. If the memory has
become fragmented, you may be unable to load a large sample, even if there appears to be
enough available memory. For example, if the memory is fragmented and the Total Available
field shows 20 MB, you may not be able to load a 10 MB audio file (but you may be able to
load ten 1 MB audio files).
To clean up the user sample memory when it has become fragmented, you can back up all
user objects and samples to a USB device, delete all user objects and samples by performing a
hard reset, then reload the saved user objects and samples. For details see
