  My audio PC is down, 8-( ... but I wrote a patch to qsynth which enables
  routing of notes to a particular engine, so that a keyboard could be split
  multiply.  Each engine has a MidiLowKey and MidiHighKey setting.  Each engine 
also
  has a MidiOutput Mask of 16 bits width saying to which channels the engine 
should
  send its output.  For keyboards that have an onboard split function, the 
channel to
  accept as input for a given engine may be set with MidiInputChan (can also 
handle
  even-odd channels in the single split case).
  It's not a lot of source code.  All this routing can be done in the fluid 
API, of course.
