As long as there is a keyboard split, you can record and then end up with the piano and bass on two separate tracks. It's easy to record a performance on the split sound; separating the two sounds onto separate tracks takes a few more steps.
To create the split:
1. Go to Sequencer mode.
2. Create a new, blank Song.
3. Select an acoustic bass Program for Track 1.
4. Select a piano Program for Track 2.
5. Press the MIDI Filter/Zones tab.
6. Select the Keyboard Zones tab.
You should now be on the P3: MIDI Filter/Zones - Keyboard Zones page.
7. Select the Top Key parameter for Track 1.
8. Hold down the ENTER button.
9. While holding ENTER, play B3 on the keyboard.
10. Release the ENTER button.
11. Select the Bottom Key parameter for Track 2.
12. Repeat steps 8-10 to set the Bottom Key to C4.
13. Press the Track Parameter tab.
14. Select the MIDI tab.
You should now be on the P2: Track Parameters - MIDI page.
15. Set Track 2's MIDI Channel to 1.
You now have a piano/bass split, on the same MIDI channel.
(You could also have copied a Combi with a split, if there was one that you liked.)
You can now play the split from the keyboard by setting the Keyboard Track to either Track 1 or Track 2.
A handy trick:
1. Go to the Control Surface page.
On the right side of the page, under Mixer Knobs, there is a check-box labeled "Link KBD REC Trk to Ctrl Surface."
2. Press the check-box, so that it is on.
Now, you can change the KBD track just by pressing the Control Surface SELECT buttons.
To record yourself playing the split:
1. Record-enable Track 1.
(You could also record-enable Track 2, since it's on the same MIDI channel.)
You do NOT need to enable Multi REC.
2. Record into the sequencer, as usual. Play on both sides of the split.
You now have a recording of both sounds, on the same MIDI track.
Note that you can adjust volumes, effects settings, EQ, etc. independently for the two sounds.
If you just want to use the recording as-is, then you don't need to do anything else.
If you want to do a lot of separate editing on the bass and piano, then it may be convenient to have each on a separate track in the sequencer. To do this:
1. Go to the Track Edit page.
2. Select Track 1 (the one on which you recorded).
You can use the on-screen menu or the Control Surface, or you can touch the tiny little blue "1" with your fingernail...
3. Set the From Measure parameter to the start of the song.
4. Set the To End of Measure parameter to the end of the song.
5. Open the Page Menu, and select the Copy Track command.
A dialog box appears.
6. Set the From MIDI Track parameter to 1.
7. Set the To MIDI Track parameter to 2.
Press OK.
Now, you have copied the MIDI data on Track 1 to Track 2.
Next, you'll delete the bass notes from the piano track, and the piano notes from the bass track.
8. Make sure that Track 1 (the bass track) is still selected.
9. Open the Page Menu, and select the Shift/Erase Note command.
A dialog box appears.
10. Set the Note Range: Bottom parameter to B3.
You can use the ENTER + keyboard trick from above.
11. Leave the Note Range: Top parameter at the default of G9.
12. Enable the Erase Note check-box at the bottom of the dialog box.
13. Press OK.
This erases all of the piano notes from the bass track.
Next, we'll do the same for the piano track.
14. Select Track 2.
15. Repeat steps 9-13, but this time set the Note Range: Bottom parameter to the minimum value (C-1), and the Note Range: Top parameter to B3.
After pressing OK, you'll have the MIDI data for the bass on Track 1, and the MIDI data for the piano on Track 2.

Yes, I just tried this:
* assign a drum Program on track 1.
* assign different Programs to tracks 2 through 9.
* assign each track to its own MIDI channel, 1 through 9.
* assign the 8 pads to MIDI channels 2 through 9.
* enable Multi REC
* set each of tracks 1-9 to Record
* recorded, in a single pass, onto all 9 tracks, playing on the keyboard and pads
It worked correctly.
