Hey!-
   Of course Streetly makes split tape sets!  The split male/female choir voice is listed in the Streetly library, among others.
   Further, the old MK2-FX was set up with a mechanical split on each keyboard side (same station).  That's right- each head channel was split in half, and moved independently via solenoids.  But, the FX didn't allow for blending (who wanted to blend sound effects?).
 
   Get one now!!!

Ohhhh...You mean a split keyboard? I think you will have to manage without that. Hey Martin! Have you ever made tapes with split sounds left and right? Probably not a common request.
