Dividing the Keyboard into Two
Regions
(Split)
You can divide the keyboard into left-hand and right-hand
ranges, and play a different tone in each range.
This type of setup is called a split, and the point at which the
keyboard is divided is called the split point.

2.

Split is enabled; you can play the ZONE 1 tone in the high range,
and the ZONE 4 tone in the low range.
3.
To cancel split, press the [SPLIT] button to
make it go dark.
When you disable split, the high and low range settings (KEY
RANGE) are reset, and ZONE 1 and 4 are layered.
NOTE
On the FANTOM, the [SPLIT] button is lit whenever the high and low range
settings (KEY RANGE) of any zone are other than the default values (low C-:
high G9). Even if zones are layered, the button is lit whenever the KEY RANGE
settings are other than the default. Making the [SPLIT] button go dark means
that the KEY RANGE settings of all zones are reset to the default values.
