The Split Function
Pressing the Split soft button while in Program Mode will perform the Split Function. e
Split Function allows you to split Programs such that keys in one region of the keyboard
produce dierent 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 congurations of four Zones, each of which may have its own Program
and controller assignments.
e Split Function is convenient, as it automatically congures 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. e 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. e Forte will display a
message if you have already reached the maximum of four active Zones (“Multi Mode” on
page 8-1).
