It is confusing as the lower part of the split top plate is directly linked to and controls the venting of the pad cup which is effectively the top plate as you'd have on oboes.

Only it is covered by the upper part of the top plate on split top plate cors. d'amores and bass oboes which is effectively an extension of your LH index fingertip to cover/uncover just the aperture in the pad cup. On cors with a fixed top plate, the pad cup is completely independent from the top plate and the top plate covers/uncovers the aperture by lowering/raising LH finger 1...

Confused? Me too!

Far easier to demonstrate than explain.
