How do I create a split performance on my CS6X?
A Performance can be created as a Split, for playing two Voices in separate Note Ranges. This method allows the user to set up different Splits for each Performance.
NOTE: If there is a PLG100XG Plug-in Board installed in the unit, the XG Voices in Parts 17-32 will normally be doubling the Voices in Parts 1-16. To avoid this, Parts 17-32 must be muted via MIDI, or manually on the instrument. (Only Parts 17 – 18 need to be muted for this example.) Click here for ‘Muting and Resetting a PLG100XG Plug-in Board in a CS6X’.

The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
