Das sind Programs, die aus vielen Layern an Multisamples bestehen. Es gibt Möglichkeiten PC3/Kore64 Sounds in den Forte zu bekommen.
Per Editor (so hab ich das gemacht) und angeblich auch
über das PC3 update file. Das habe ich aber noch nicht ausprobiert.
Ein weiteres Update ist raus gekommen. Nächste Woche soll schon das offizielle Release kommen. Jetzt geben sie wirklich Gas muss man sagen.
Ich kanns leider erst nächste Woche ausprobieren, aber da sind wieder einige interessante Sachen dabei, wie zb die Verbesserungen der Piano Keymaps und weitere Favorite Bänke. Jetzt hat man 50 Bänke zu 10 Sounds. Das sollte eigentlich für alle Eventualitäten reichen. Im Ernstfall lassensich diese Bänke ja auch als User Objects speichern und laden, wenn man wirklich nicht auskommt. Hier sind auch einige Sachen von den letzten Updats aufgelistet.
