Should be force-fed (most commonly), or two separate words.  https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/force-fed 

As one word it defies a lot of standard phonotactic rules of spoken English.  I'd imagine you'd get something like forcef (not a real word) with a past tense ED somehow attached to it.  Or it could be a lot worse.  I don't have the synth available to test.
