Split mode (even by assigning both sides to the same sound) WILL NOT accomplish the SAME thing 'full keyboard' mode does. Full keyboard mode allows you to trigger a chord ANYWHERE on the Keyboard: EITHER in the right hand, left hand , or even across TWO hands. For example, in full keyboard mode, you can trigger an F7 chord, with the left hand playing the root (F) and 7th (Eb), while playing the 3rd (A) with the right hand up 2 or 3 octaves. You can't do this in split mode. Full keyboard mode offers MANY more keyboard playing possibilities not possible in split mode and is the prefered choice for pianist type keyboard players.
