Keyboard Splitting Hack
4 min · Polyphonic mode · No patch cable needed
Two sounds at once on a synth that doesn’t do keyboard splits.
Because the Poly D is paraphonic, every note you play gets its own oscillator — so dropping oscillator 1 two octaves and giving it a different waveform turns your bottom note into a bass line under the chord. The red LEDs show which oscillator fires next, so with a bit of attention you can control which note lands where. Also covers why auto damp off matters here, and how the range switches re-voice sequenced chords.

Tip: The split only holds if your bottom note triggers oscillator 1. Watch the LEDs and let your playing order do the work — that’s the whole technique.
