It's not too hard. Find a Voice, or create a Voice, in "Dual" mode, 
i.e., two scenes. The display will read "Dual" to let you know. Use
the 
Layer button on the front panel to change the mode to "Split". Again, 
this will be reflected on the display. You should now here Scene 1 on 
the left hand side of the Split Point and Scene 2 on the right hand 
side of the split point. If I'm not mistaken this is a fixed 
assignment. If you want to reverse which sound is on which side of
the 
split point you actually have to copy Scene 1 to Scene 2. There's a 
provision in the AN1x OS for exactly this but I don't recall how 
without looking at the manual.

The Split Point can be adjusted. The function is found under the
VOICE/
COMMON menu.

The Arp/Seq can be set to control either or both Scene in Voice and 
this is also true for Keyboard Splits. You must keep in mind though 
that the KbdMode function will come into play (no pun intended) and
it 
may need to be adjusted for the desired affect. This is the most 
confusing element, IMO.

Now that you (hopefully) understand the basic it should be just as
easy 
to program from the front panel as it is from AN1xEdit.

Feel free to check out my website http://www.jdlx-musique.com/ for
some 
Tips & Tricks contributed by this list and the old AN1x list. I
suppose 
this is a topic that should be written up too.
