Description

The most advanced keyboard to ever wear the Kurzweil logo, the Forte is an 88 key fully weighted hammer action stage piano with Flash Play, which enables instant access to 16 GB of memory. Forte features many new instruments recorded in ultra-high definition, intuitive real-time controls, and color LCD display. New sounds include hand-selected German and vintage Japanese concert grand pianos, as well as Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clav, Harpsichord, Orchestral Percussion, Celeste, Glockenspiel, Chimes, Bells and Crotales. There is also a wide selection of sounds from the acclaimed PC3 and KORE 64 expansion, all delivered with unprecedented expressiveness and an obsessive attention to detail. Flash-Play provides the Forte with a staggering amount of horsepower; 16 GB sample content with zero-loading time, heaping mounds of powerful DSP and ultrafast performance. Forte boasts KBN3 tone wheel organs modeled after classic Hammond, Vox, and Farsifa organs, as well as a Powerful FX engine with award-winning reverbs, delays, choruses, flangers, phasers, distortions, rotary amplifiers, compressors, and more. Navigate the Forte with a new 4.3" 480x272 widescreen color LCD display. Room too boomy? Need to add some punch? No problem. Dial it in with the Master Compressor & EQ section featuring Bass, Treble and sweep able Midrange. Forte offers 23 programmable physical controllers: 9 Sliders (with brilliant LED ladders), 6 Switches, 2 Wheels, 3 Switch Pedal Inputs, 2 Continuous Control Pedal Inputs and After touch. (1 sustain/switch pedal is included). And there is easy access to controls, with dedicated -/+ Transpose, Tap Tempo and sound Variation controls conveniently located right above the Pitch/Modulation wheels.

Forte Delivers
Got my Forte yesterday and loaded in the 1.2 OS from the Kurzweil website (the OS update came out in February, so no doubt some of the more newly boxed boards will have it installed). Two things stand out for me: 1) The layout and utility of the deck is near perfect. 9 sliders with a cool memory feature that shows the slider placement for a voice in lights, regardless of where the physical sliders are, and you can adjust at will. Big, informative screen with multiple views. Clear voice groups that you can scroll through via dial or buttons. Favorites buttons right in front. Global EQ and compressor that can be on or off. Etc., etc. Excellent layout for performance! 2) Gorgeous voices! Beautiful pianos. Very nice Tonewheel organ with 3 or 4 presets I love, and many ways to tweak. The EPs are especially popular with reviewers, though I'm still looking for one I love (for years I've played an Alesis QS 8.1 with a voice called Rayz Rhodes that has been my beloved go-to -- the Forte has 'better' EPs, but I'm still missing the oldie). The only hitch is that all these stunning sounds are stunning through headphones, and I have come to realize that maybe my mixer/amp/speakers rig is ready for an upgrade too. Sigh. Negatives? Nothing unexpected. Compared to a Stage 2 and a couple of others, it's a wider (wheels left of keys instead of above) and heavier (48 lbs!) board. The Fatar keybed is quick and smooth, but isn't a perfect match for my finger muscle memory yet. While I think Yamaha, Kawai and Roland all have better keybeds for straight piano, I can see how this Fatar is going to work very well for organ, EP, synth leads AND piano, which is what I needed. I definitely found some joy in tweaking the velocity mapping, even though I ended up sticking with the defaults for now. I know. When it comes to top-of-the-line stage pianos, everyone has preferences. CP4, Stage 2, RD800, Kronos, MP__, Forte and a couple others. All that I tried struck me as excellent. The Forte was my call because of the best-of-class 16GBs of sound with "Flash Play", and because of the usability of the deck for performance. Time will expose all the minor plusses and minuses, but I love this baby so far. Have fun. PS - In searching for a new board, I've come to realize what a good one I've had in the Alesis QS 8.1 for the last 16 years. Cheers. ... show more
