The Split Function
6-7
When you create a Split in a Program, you are in fact creating a Setup (see Setup Mode on page
7-1 for more information on Setups). As previously described, Setups are congurations
of four Zones, each of which may have its own Program and controller assignments. Once
you’ve created a Split in a Program, creating another Split will activate another Zone within
what is now a Setup. If the Setup already has its maximum of four active Zones and you
press the Split Function button, then a message will briey appear on the display indicating
that you have reached the maximum of four active Zones.
The Split Function is convenient, as you do not need to go through Edit Setup Mode to
delineate Zones, assign Programs, etc. You can simply hit the Split button, and the SP5
automatically activates another Zone in the Setup for you, with default values for parameters
of the Split. The newly-activated Zone is the “Secondary Voice”. The currently active
Zone(s) constitute the “Primary Voice”.
There are four parameters (described below) that determine the behavior of the Split. You
can view these parameters by scrolling through them using the Chan / Param buttons. To
edit them, use the Alpha Wheel or Value buttons. The Split Function will initially have the
last used Split Program, Split Volume, Split Key, and Split Transposition, or defaults for
these if this is the rst time since power-up.
The Keypad button is active for the Split Volume and Split Transposition parameters. For
these parameters, you can enter a new value using the alphanumeric data entry buttons. The
Keypad button is also active for the Split Key parameter, you can directly select the Split
Key by holding down the Select button and then striking the desired key on the keyboard.
Split Program
This parameter determines the Program for the Secondary Voice (left-hand side) of the
Split—the current Program is the Program for the Primary Zone (right-hand side) of the
Split. The Secondary Voice will be the last used Split Program or the default Program (ID
number 236 Motown Bass) if this is the rst time your using the Split Function since
power-up. Any Program can be chosen for this parameter.
Split Volume
This parameter determines the relative volumes of the Secondary and Primary Voices—it
can be set to any number between -127 and 127. By default, the Split Volume is set to 0,
which results in both Voices having the same volume. When set to a positive number, the
volume for the Secondary Voice is increased while the volume for the Primary Voice is
decreased—doing the opposite has the opposite effect on the relative volumes of the Voice.
Value Jump resets the volume to 0.
Split Key
This parameter determines the boundary of the Split—it can be set to any number between
21 (A0) and 108 (C8). By default, the Split Key is set to 60 (C4, or middle C). The chosen key
is the highest note in the Secondary Voice—one note above this note is the lowest note in
the Primary Voice.
