I"ve installed the update and it was a great excuse to get some new Dave Weiser sounds and PC4 presets into the Forte. This keyboard is such a beast and sounds great.

 

I haven"t figured out how to load the DX7 SysEx files yet. I was kind of hoping to just install the OS and magically find the DX7 factory set or some great FM presets but I have to do some work on that. So far so good. Haven"t spent much time with it but it seems stable.

Be sure to drop by the Forte users group on Facebook... A few do-gooders there have posted files, including the 100+ new FM presets from the PC4 (same FM engine as v4.0) as well as classic DX stuff. I believe the PC4 FM programs are at around #1100 in the larger factory sound set.

Yup. I have picked up the 100 PC4 FM presets and classic DX7 set off of Mastering VAST. Sounds great. Just getting into it. Nice pads. Everything else sounds pretty authentic to a DX7. Moreso than my FM8 or Dexed plug ins. I'm going to get my use out of them. I can't believe how much value and usability I have gotten from this investment and how playable everything is.

 

Have I ever mentioned on this forum how great the Forte is? Just buy one already.

Love my Forte, and I still can't find anything that appeals to me more as a hammer action master for my second studio space. I'll wait through Spring next year for announcements but I won't be at all surprised if another Forte fills that gap.
