It's displayed the wrong way now I see. Setting it to "2" should have 
track 1 go to the lower half, and 2,3,4,5,6 go to the upper. What is 
printed "1" now will be printed "2" in the next update.

The way we thought is that you are allowed to layer how many tracks 
you want in the split mode (because it's a "multi trig" mode). Then 
set the rest you do not care for to zero level, or GND->GND.

Maybe you'd preferred it to function another way? I can see the issue 
if you are using the sequencer, and just want to trigger two sounds 
in split mode, and not affect the other tracks.
