You should be able to select hte Forte as your default synth and it should play back standard GM midi files without resorting to having to assign a synth to every track every time.

You should only have to assign the *extra* synths, like your VSTi's "by the track" as needed. Using that Ports thing.

Can't see what you are doing or not doing at your end, but its possible, I do it all the time.
