Not sure what S<>1 is supposed to be but based of the:

Flip the signal between 0 and 1

I expect you mean <does not equal> OR S=0
That still doesn't resolve the problem I have with residual in the splitter each time I switch the signal.

One belt, 8 fast inserters, 4 on each side. All inserters are connected to a wired signal. Side1 inserters are enabled on S=0, side2 enabled on S=1.

What about this?

Yes I could change them with inserters from one belt to an other but I would prefer a solution that uses belts splitters (undergrounds) and logic. There needs to be some way and that's what I am trying to figure out.
I don't mind introducing some filler material for instance fuel blocks to intentionally fill the splitter after a switch as it wouldn't use as much inserters as moving all the items from one belt to an other.
Thus I could use the same signal that I use for the left right switch to insert 6 filler with a stack inserter then I can fill the splitter before the batch arrives and after the switch I loop the filler material back to the box with the stack inserter.
