file, it is loaded into the current port. This makes it useful to save MIDI Configuration files that
are “device-specific” because devices are attached to ports.
Setting a Default MIDI Configuration
A last-used MIDI configuration is always saved with an Instrument Module. Usually, this MIDI
configuration will be reloaded automatically on any future Instrument Module using the same
instrument. However, if you select a MIDI configuration to be the default, it will be used
instead.
Scene Change Commands
In the Scene Commands tab, each scene can be configured to affect each instrument plugin
in a variety of ways. See “Working with Scenes and Setlists” for more information.
Working with ReWire Instruments
You may create an instrument module using ReWire instruments. When doing so, the
instrument console will be a generic panel to launch the ReWire console.
ReWire instruments will follow Forte’s play/stop transport and tempo. However, they do have
some limitations:
Rack Load is not automated - The ReWire specification has no concept of a host
application sending configuration information to the ReWire instrument. Therefore,
the ReWire instrument must be manually configured after forte is running.
Scene changes do not work – For the same reason, Forte cannot send
configuration information on scene change. Some ReWire instruments may respond
to program changes, however.
