The FX Page
Press the FX soft button to view the FX page. Use this page to apply audio effects to a
Program. You can select an Insert effects Chain and 2 Aux effects Chains, all of which apply
to all layers in the Program (unless Layer FX are used, see below for details). In Program
Mode, Programs on all MIDI channels share the Aux chains of the Program on the currently
selected MIDI channel.
The Forte’s Chains contain a variety of effects. Each Chain displays icons representing the
type of effects contained in the Chain, as well as the order of effects in the Chain (signal
flows from left to right). The Forte’s Chains include different types of reverb, chorus, delay,
flanger, phaser, tremolo, panner, leslie, distortion, EQ, compression, filter, envelope following
filter, frequency stimulator, ring modulator, frequency offset, pitch LFO, and stereoizer.
When the Global Mode
User Type is set to Advanced, the selected Chain can be edited by
pressing the Favorites 1 button. See Ch. 8 The Effects Chain Editor for details.
DSP Resources and DSP Units
A Program can have up to 8 Insert Chains (any combination of common and layer specific
inserts) and 2 Aux Chains, sharing up to 32 DSP “Units.” In the FX page shown above, note
the “8/14 Units” in the middle of the top line of the page. The left-hand number indicates
how many Units are being used by the highlighted Chain, and the right-hand number is the
total number of Units being used by all Chains in the Program. If you attempt to use more
than 32 DSP units, the Forte will notify you that you have done so, and no effects will be
applied to the Program.
