Keyboards
Im Moment kommen laufend Betas raus, gestern wieder. Da sind wirklich viele extrem coole updates dabei. Mit dem "Per Key Velocity Makeup Editor" kann man einen Offset für jede Taste einstellen und so die Tastatur "begradigen". Das hat bei mir zwei Abende gedauert und jetzt habe ich ein völlig neues Keyboard. Die großen Samples kommen jetzt richtig zur Geltung, ein Traum!! Hier die weiteren fantastischen Updates, die den Forte auf ein völlig neues Niveau heben!
Ich bin so richtig happy. Wenn jetzt noch User Smaples dazu kommen, dann ist das für mich das perfekte Stage Piano und Zentrum meines Setups.
Forte Beta 1.36.26466
Wiring Alg Editor implemented
Important bug in previous beta releases when occasionally FXs were not properly loaded in channels different than 1.
Chain Edit pages design improvements
Move Chain Edit Insert/Remove boxes to soft buttons instead of favorite buttons
Program Edit Envelope Drawings bugs
Global Program Tempo parameter added like on the Forte SE (See Forte SE Manual)
(If we have not mentioned this before): Adding zones in multi mode, in the unit or from Sound Tower Editor, will not cause any LED craziness or crashes.
Many UI bug fixes in every mode: Navigation in pages, icons in headers, soft button styles, etc.
Soundware
Fixed sustain resonance implementation for prg 10 New Orleans
Updated Lead section. Updated a few basses to better use switches 80/81 - including 3 FX updates-- fixes to controller problems and a new mod for 80/81.
Updated pads and one FX chain update for program 331.
FX alg 305 and FX presets 311 and 312. These replace the objects with identical IDs. These fix a subtle DC offset problem that was still in the alg after my last fix for these objects.
Volume adjusted all 704 samples in the 8 German Piano keymaps (ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, fff) for a better and smoother balance from note to note, per velocity.
Forte Beta 1.36.26341
This is a reduced release notes doc. Some features will be missing from the document and will be eventually documented.
Set Global - User Type to Advanced to see the new features.
Program Edit Mode
Check the HELP Page by pressing Favorite 10 button inside an Editor or pressing the HELP soft button, to see how to access extra functionality. Specially Favorite 1 button that would behave like the EDIT button in parameters that can be editable, like Keymaps.
VAST Editing pages implemented. While the look of the pages are different, we recommend you to download the Forte SE Manual as the editing possibilities are similar to Forte SE ones. http://kurzweil.com/product/forte-se/downloads/
FX editing is also implemented.
Keymap editing is implemented.
Basic sample editing is implemented.
Arpeggiators are implemented per program. Check the Forte SE for more details, even if the UI is different. Don't miss the new Arp Preset and the Step Sequencer functionality.
String Resonance parameter added. This works in conjunction with the String Resonance FXs.
ALG Editing is NOT completely implemented at the moment.
Multi Mode
Arpeggiators (one per zone) have been implemented. Check the Forte SE manual for more details about arpeggiators as functionality is the same.
Mute Zone buttons are now programmable.
Check the HELP page for more details.
Some functionality has been moved to soft buttons.
Global Mode
User Type moved to Main1.
S.Buttons 1-2 parameter to change the functionality of the Octave Soft Buttons into Arpeggiator On/Off and Latch functionality. This is the only way to control the Arp in program mode. In Multi mode you can also do it that way, but you could program ANY programmable controller to Arp On/Off or Arp Latch.
Per Key Velocity Makeup Map Editor. If you feel your keyboard action is uneven key to key, meaning that with the same force applied to adjacent keys one responds with higher velocity than the other, you could manually adjust that difference and make the per-key velocity response as you prefer.
Pressuse Scale Override parameter added.
Prog Change parameter added if you want to disable program changes.
Soundware
String Resonance added to some piano programs
Numerous fixes in controllers of many programs and multis
FX Fixes to reduce pops in some FX transitions.
Known issues
After installing this update, the splash screen will say "ALPHA", instead of "BETA". No worries, this is a Beta release.
We still have a good number of bugs open. Still, please send us any bug you see via email.
