Your soft-synths have a new home! forte is a "virtual instrument rack" for soft-synth plugins, offering more control and convenience than a traditional rack of hardware MIDI sound modules. forte is optimized for the stage, with low latency audio, vast MIDI routing capabilities, and unique live performance features.

Features

• Multiple Simultaneous Soft-Synths, MIDI Inputs, and Soundcard Outputs
  
  - Play an entire ensemble of MIDI controllers into a rack of soft-synths
  
  - Ensemble" model supports up to 32 soft-synths in a rack and up to 32 WDM soundcard outputs
• Advanced MIDI Control:
  
  - Create complex MIDI keyboard splits and layers across multiple soft-synths
  
  - Remap MIDI preset, channel, and controller data independently on each soft-synth for maximum control
  
  - Remotely change patches and scenes from MIDI input devices
• Scene support: Use multiple "scenes" in a rack to rapidly change MIDI and audio routing, synth patches, and effects settings between songs.
• Audio Effects: Add multiple audio effect plugins to soft-synths and audio buss outputs
• Ultra Low Latency: forte uses WDM drivers to enable MIDI-to-audio latency comparable to or better than hardware sound modules. In many cases, latency is so low you can play MIDI drum pads into soft-samplers with high accuracy.

• Hands-off Operation

  - Change scenes or patches remotely from MIDI controllers
  
  - Use SceneView to see the scene list in full-screen large font
• Access to Favorite Sounds: Organize your favorite soft-synth and effects patches using favorites lists, recently-used lists, and MIDI automation.
