Forte is a live performance workstation for virtual instruments, offering more control and convenience than a traditional rack of hardware sound modules. forte is optimized for the stage, with low latency audio, vast MIDI routing capabilities, and unique live performance features.
Forte 3 has arrived with many new features:
Native 64 bit version
Multiple output VSTi/DXi support - each stereo pair of a virtual instrument now has independent routing, inserts, mix (see console Mix tab)
Supports VST plugins with up to 8 inputs (only the 1st two channels are used.)
Rename MIDI Ports with custom names
Improved Scene Access
Improved MIDI Filters: 4 key ranges in midi filters to support dead zones, layers, chords, etc.
Improved per-Scene Control for better control of when plugins receive new configuration
MIDI Monitor for plugins
Redesigned SceneView
New Scene Manager for better management of sets
More MIDI automation options for scene changes
Up to 8 "Quick Access" scenes re-callable via MIDI automation for immediate access regardless of set order
Global transpose options assignable to scenes, songs, sets, or the entire rack
jBridge support to host both 32 bit and 64 bit VST plugins
Offline Operation: When loading a rack that is missing audio or MIDI hardware, you can now either adapt the rack to new hardware or choose to run the rack in "offline" mode. Offline mode creates "proxy" devices to emulate audio and MIDI hardware.
Improved MIDI filter editing features
Bring the power of VST instruments to the stage.
Forte 3 unleashes your creativity with features designed specifically for live performance. Control entire sets of plugins using set-lists and scenes. Flip between setups with the touch of a button. Route MIDI in flexible ways to your VST plugins for new creative possibilities.
