This time the update is considerable enough comprising 256 new programs, 80 multiprograms among which there are programs from popular K2xxx and PC3 series, new effects slots the number of which is twice bigger now and equals the number of those from Forte 7/8. If we count the total number of programs we should say that Forte SE surpassed the older models, so it seems that very soon we might learn about new firmware for Forte 7/8 as well.
