FORTE fans often reach out to us with questions about MIDI recording. They wonder about the settings of their instruments. They ask us about the buttons and settings in FORTE, and much more…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This article will guide you through three steps to MIDI recording with FORTE.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1. Setting up your MIDI instrument for recording<\/h3>\n

\"Noten<\/p>\n

a. Connect your keyboard with the USB cable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

b. Connect the USB cable to your computer\u2019s USB port.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a first step, you\u2019ll need to connect your MIDI instrument (say, for example, a keyboard or an e-piano) via a USB or MIDI cable with an audio interface.<\/p>\n

Then, start the FORTE program.<\/p>\n

In the main menu \u201cOptions,\u201d select \u201cMIDI\u201d. In the “MIDI-In” tab you’ll find your MIDI instrument listed as \u201cDefault Recording Device.\u201d<\/p>\n

Select your device and click \u201cApply.\u201d<\/p>\n

If your keyboard has a sound module of its own, you might like to set it up as the default playback device. The resulting sound will be better and the recording of your music more precise.<\/p>\n

In the tab \u201cMIDI Out,\u201d you can select the default playback device. If your MIDI device doesn\u2019t have a sound module of its own, we recommend you select \u201cVST Synth\u201d as the default playback device. This setting helps to reduce latency. (Latency refers to a short period of delay\u2013\u2013usually measured in milliseconds\u2013\u2013between an audio signal entering and emerging from a system.)<\/p>\n

If you want your playback to always come from your midi instrument or from VST Synth, check the box \u201cAlways use default device\u201d and click \u201cApply\u201d to confirm your choice.<\/p>\n
