Trimming Racks
Scenes contain data for each instrument or effect in the rack. If that instrument or effect is
removed or replaced, over time the scenes and the rack file can continue to hold information
on missing plugins. The Trim… command in the File menu is a convenient way to update
every scene in your rack file and remove stale data.
To trim a rack, select File | Trim… from the menu, then press the Trim button. You will see a
progress bar and a log of the trim. When finished, be sure to test the rack before saving it to
make sure each scene still generates the sounds it should.
Automatic Backups
Whenever you save a rack file, forte will automatically back up the existing version of the file
before saving the new version. The backup will exist in the same directory with a backup
number appended to the name. You may control the maximum number of backup in
Preferences. You may also specify an alternate location to store backup files.
