Quick Split makes it easy to create common setups, such as
piano for the right hand and bass below for the left, or piano
for the left hand and a lead synth for the right. Let's walk
through the second example: a piano and lead split.
1. In COMBINATION mode, select a piano sound-for
instance, A024: WS Layer Keys.
For details on how to select a Combination, see
"Selecting Combinations" on page 55.
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 Main / Upper
button.
This assigns the Split Program to the right-hand (upper)
side of the keyboard, and the Main Combination—in this
case, the piano—to the left-hand (lower) side.
Alternatively, you could press the Lower / Main button
to assign the Split Program to the left-hand (lower) side
of the keyboard—useful for bass sounds. For this
example, let's stick with Main /Upper.
4. Press the Category Select Popup in the UPPER PROG
section.
5. Choose the Lead Synth category, select the Program
D022: Thin Ana Lead, 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 the
original piano sound, and the upper region plays a synth
lead. The lead 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 Combination. For more information,
see "Limitations of Quick Layer/Split" on page 62.
If you like, you can also select a different main
Combination, using the controls in the MAIN COMBI
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
Combination and Split Program as desired.
8. Select the ARP/DRUM settings you want to use with
"Select ARP/DRUM".
Select which ARP/DRUM settings to use for the main
combination or the split program.
Note: When the ARP button is turned on, playing with
the arpeggiator will be enabled. The notes that play will
follow the selected ARP/DRUM settings. When the
DRUM button is turned on, the notes that play will be
controlled by the Drum function.
Use the Volume control to adjust the volume of the drum
track program.
Note: Both ARP/DRUM settings cannot be used
simultaneously.
