Editing VAST Programs

The Forte offers two powerful editing features: Cascade Mode and Dynamic VAST .

• Cascade Mode

lets you route any layer of a program into the DSP of any other layer.

Any of the 32 layers of a program can go into any other layer.

• Dynamic VAST

lets you “wire” your own algorithms. You can combine different

DSP functions in any order you like, including parallel and serial configurations.

The Program Editor is where you begin to modify the Forte’s resident sounds, and to build

your own sounds around sample keymaps or KVA oscillators (see

for some differences). There’s virtually no limit to the

sounds you can create using the tools in the Program Editor.

Note: This section describes the Program Editor as it applies to VAST programs. See

for information about editing KB3 programs.

The Soft Buttons in the Program Editor

There are more pages and functions in the advanced Program Editor than there are soft

buttons. Therefore, two of the soft buttons are dedicated to scrolling through the list of pages

and functions. If you don’t see the button for the page or function you want to select, press

one of the soft buttons labeled more, and the labels will change. This doesn’t change the

currently selected page, it merely changes the selection of available soft buttons.

Assigning VAST Parameters to Control Sources

Many Forte program parameters can be assigned to be controlled by the Forte’s physical

controllers or by MIDI CCs from an external MIDI device. For details on controllable

parameters of VAST programs, see the following sections:
