Notice the OP has only made 1 post and has disappeared? If he ever comes back, I think I know what happened with his ride cymbal being too loud. I just played a midi in RB and heard that but the drum track is named brush kit but Forte is playing the standard kit. Brushes are usually set at a higher velocity or volume than a ride cymbal would be. That has nothing to do with the Forte, it's another typical downloaded midi file using a program change that is probably a brush kit on whatever synth was used to create the file but it comes out as the standard kit on the Forte. I went into the event list for that file and there's sysex in there and that's where the problem is. All that has to be done is go into the event list, delete all that and put in the correct program change for the brush kit. This happens all the time with downloaded midi files.
