Scene Change Actions
Each scene can be configured to affect each instrument plugin in a variety of ways. In the
instrument’s console is a “Scene Commands” tab where you may determine what happens to
the instrument when the current scene is applied.
Set Configuration Data (FXB, FXP, and/or DirectX Preset Data)
This option selects how configuration data is applied to the plugin:
Do not use per-Scene configuration data – when this is checked, data specific to
each scene is not loaded into this instrument. Instead the instrument is loaded once
with the configuration it held when the rack file was last saved and maintains that
configuration across all scene changes in the rack. This is selected any time a plugin
is loaded that appears on the scene skip list in preferences.
Load configuration data into the instrument only if it is different from the
previous scene – Forte tracks the data sent to a plugin and this option will only send
configuration data if it is different than what was loaded by the previous scene. This
can reduce scene change times by avoiding unnecessary operations. Note that forte
cannot know if you have manually changed the plugin’s configuration; the
comparison is only done between the data of the previous scene and the current
scene.
NOTE: Using alternate MIDI controllers:
You may change the number of scenes per bank by modifying a setting in
OPTIONS.INI. Select Tools|View INI Files… and open OPTIONS.INI. Find the
line that says “ScenesPerBank=128” and change that to a different value. If
you change this to 4, for example, you must select bank 1, program 0 to access
the 4th scene in the setlist. Likewise, bank 2, program 2 would select the 10th
scene. The ability to alter the number of scenes per bank can be useful when
using some MIDI controllers like guitar footboards that select programs using
separate pedals.
