The Split Function
Pressing the Split soft button while in Program Mode will perform the Split Function. The
Split Function allows you to split Programs such that keys in one region of the keyboard
produce different sounds than another region.
When you create a Split in Program Mode, you are in fact creating a Multi with two active
Zones (see “Multi Mode” on page 8-1, for more information on Multis). As previously
described, Multis are configurations of four Zones, each of which may have its own Program
and controller assignments.
The Split Function is convenient, as it automatically configures a Multi to function as a Split
by setting Zone key ranges and Programs. You can simply hit the Split button, and the Forte
automatically creates a Multi with two active Zones. The Program you were using in Program
Mode is used in the right hand of the Split as the Program for Zone 1. After this you can
choose a “Split Program” that will be used in the left hand of the Split as the Program for
Zone 2.
Once you have saved your Split as a Multi, you can continue to add Split or Layer Zones
to the Multi until you reach the maximum of four active Zones. The Forte will display a
message if you have already reached the maximum of four active Zones (“Multi Mode” on
