The Split Function
Pressing the Split soft button while in Multi Mode performs the Split Function. The Split
Function allows you to split Multis such that keys in one region of the keyboard produce
different sounds than another region.
When you create a Split in a Multi, you are in fact activating a new Zone within the current
Multi. If the current Multi already has its maximum of four active Zones and you press the
Split Function soft button, then a message will appear on the display indicating that you
have reached the maximum of four active Zones. Once you have saved your Split, you can
continue to add Split or Layer Zones to the Multi until you reach the maximum of four
active Zones.
The Split Function is convenient, as you do not need to use Multi Edit Mode to configure
Zone key ranges, Programs, and volumes. You can simply press the Split button, and the
Forte automatically activates another Zone in the Multi for you. The previously active Zones
are used in the right hand of the Split. If a previously active Zone has a Key Range below
the default split point (C4), then that Zone will remain in the left hand of the split. After
this you can choose a “Split Program” that will be used in the left hand of the Split as the
Program for the newly activated Zone.
There are four parameters (described below) that determine the behavior of the Split. Use the
cursor buttons to access each of the Split parameters for each active Zone.
