Working with Scenes and Set-Lists
Scenes are one of the most powerful features of forte. Scenes enable you to use a single
rack for an entire performance and automate preset changes, output routings, and mutes.
Each rack file can contain multiple scenes visible in the Scene window.
Each Scene contains a complete configuration including:
A preset for every instrument in the rack. This does not need to be a saved preset
because the actual settings of each instrument are saved instead of just a name.
An effect preset for every audio effect in the rack. Again, this does not need to be a
saved preset. Bypass status is also saved.
A MIDI input enable for each port on each Instrument Module.
A MIDI keyboard range, transpose, channel and controller remap for every MIDI input
on every Instrument Module.
An output Buss selection for every Instrument Module.
A tempo (which many VST and DirectX plugins will follow).
A transport (used by many drum machines, arpeggiators, and ReWire devices).
Note that the Program Change remap is not included in a Scene. Scenes may be optionally
changed using incoming MIDI program changes. When this feature is enabled, MIDI
Program Remap does not work because the program change messages are used to change
scenes instead of being remapped and sent to the instruments.
Creating Scenes
Scenes can be created by clicking the Scene button to the left of the scene list on the Control
Module. The new scene will be given a name that represents the time and date the scene
was created.
Scenes can also be created from within the Setlist Manager (described below).
