forte: Live Performance Workstation

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.


Key Features include:


Low Latency Multiple Instrument Hosting: Play up to 32 virtual instruments live with mixing and routing to multiple audio outputs.

Intuitive User Interface: If you've seen a rack of hardware sound modules, forte will look familiar to you.

Performance Automation: Reconfigure virtual instruments and MIDI routing instantly with remote controlled "Scene."

Advanced MIDI Routing and Filtering: Independent routing and filtering per MIDI input port; MIDI control of audio effect plugins, MIDI Clock tempo synchronization.

Audio Effects: Add audio effects to audio inputs, instruments or audio buss outputs.

Audio Thru: Process live audio input through audio effects with very low latency.

Virtual Set List: SceneView displays the set of upcoming configurations in large font.

Performance Features: Auto-start on boot up, auto-recovery, remote control, SceneView and other features eliminate the need to use the keyboard and mouse during performance.


New in v1.5.85
--------------

Added the ability to configure a CC pedal or button to advance to the next scene or go back to the previous scene. See the Setlist Manager for configuration.

Fixed a problem where forte could hang due to logging of unsupported ASIO callbacks.

Fixed several VST plugin compatibility issues:

EnergyXT will no longer crash when reloading a rack containing the integrated sequencer.

HALion will restore the proper bank settings when changing scenes.

Rekliner Records Loopy Llama VST plugin can now be hosted.

Fixed a bug involving the scroll buttons used to set the Key Range.

Fixed a problem with mouse-based tap tempo that makes the tempo more stable and avoids a problem where fast clicks were interpreted as double clicks, resulting in 1/2 tempo.

Fixed an indexing issue on the Advanced Routing Dialog when MIDI Ports were disabled.

Fixed a problem where the scene option "Do not use per-Scene configuration data" could be stuck in the checked position.

Fixed a problem where, if MIDI sync stopped and restarted, the sync tempo would dip toward zero before recovering.

Fixed a crash when using ReWire devices

Fixed an issue that caused MIDI data (Scene Commands, MIDI Presets, etc) to not be applied when a Rack was loaded.

Fixed a case where VSTs could lock up the forte user interface.

The Keyboard Training window stays open until both notes are received.
