Quick Split makes it easy to create common setups, such as
piano for the right hand and bass below for the left, or
electric piano for the left hand and a lead synth for the right.
Let's walk through the first example: a bass and piano split.
1. In PROGRAM mode, select a piano sound-for
instance, A000: Nautilus Grand Dry/Amb.
For details on how to select a Program, see "Selecting
Programs" on page 25.
Note: To save the original main program while you are
editing, use "Write Program" to save the main program
before using the Quick Layer function.
2. Press the Quick Split button, to the right of the Perf
Meters tab.
The Quick Split dialog box appears.
3. Under Select Split Mode, press the Lower | Main
button.
This assigns the Split Program to the left-hand (lower)
side of the keyboard, and the Main Program—in this
case, the piano—to the right-hand (upper) side.
Alternatively, you could press the Main | Upper button
to assign the Split Program to the right-hand side of the
keyboard—useful for lead sounds. For this example, let's
stick with Lower | Main.

4. Press the Category Select Popup in the LOWER
PROG section.
5. Choose the Bass category, select the Program K059:
JB Finger Bass 1, and press OK.
You can also select Programs by bank and number, or by
using Find. For more information, see "Selecting by bank
and number" on page 26, "Selecting by Category" on
page 27, and "Using the Find feature" on page 27.
When you play the keyboard, the lower region plays a
bass sound, and the upper region plays a piano sound.
The bass will sound close to the way that it does in
PROGRAM mode, including its insert effects (IFX), but
it will now use the Master and Total Effects (MFX and
TFX) of the piano Program.
If you like, you can also select a different main Program,
using the controls in the MAIN PROG section.
6. Press and hold the ENTER button, and play a note on
the keyboard to set the split point.
The split point sets the lowest key of the Upper range; the
default is C4.
You can also edit the Split Point by holding the ENTER
button and then touching the keyboard graphic.
7. Adjust the Volume and Octave of the main and split
Programs as desired.
8. Under "Select ARP/DRUM," choose to use the
ARP/DRUM from either the Main or Split Program,
and adjust the volume as desired.
The Tempo is initially set to match the selected
ARP/DRUM; you can then change it as desired. Note that
you can't use both ARP/DRUMs simultaneously.
9. When you've finished editing, press the Write Split
Combi button to save the new sound.

and "Writing Programs and Combinations" on page 205.
