Control and Functions Rear Panel        1 Standby/On switch (page 17) Press to turn the power On (0) or Standby (/).  DC IN connector (page 17) Connect the supplied power adaptor to this connector.  USB terminals There are two different types of USB terminals, and the rear panel of the instrument features both. The USB [TO HOST] terminal is used to connect this instrument to the computer via the USB cable and allows you to transfer MIDI data and audio data between the devices. Unlike MIDI, USB can handle multiple ports via a single cable. For information about the Port handled by the MOX6/ MOX8, see page 51. The USB [TO DEVICE] terminal is used to connect this instrument to a USB flash memory device via the USB cable. This lets you save data created on this instrument to an external USB flash memory device and load data from a USB flash memory device to the instrument. Save/Load operations can be performed in the File mode (page 57). NOTE Only USB flash memory device can be recognized by this instrument. Any other USB storage devices (such as hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive and USB hub) cannot be used. NOTE Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1.  MIDI [IN] / [OUT] / [THRU] terminals MIDI [IN] is for receiving control or performance data from another MIDI device, such as an external sequencer, letting you control this instrument from the connected separate MIDI device. MIDI [OUT] is for transmitting all control, performance and playback data from this instrument to another MIDI device, such as an external sequencer. MIDI [THRU] is simply for redirecting any received MIDI data (via MIDI [IN]) to connected devices, allowing convenient chaining of additional MIDI instruments.  FOOT SWITCH [ASSIGNABLE]/[SUSTAIN] jacks For connection of an optional FC3/FC4/FC5 Footswitch to the [SUSTAIN] jack and a FC4/FC5 Footswitch to the [ASSIGNABLE] jack. When connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack, the Footswitch controls sustain. When connected to [ASSIGNABLE], it can control one of various different assignable functions.  [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack For connection of an optional foot controller (FC7, etc.). This jack lets you continuously control one of various different assignable functions-such as volume, tone, pitch, or other aspects of the sound.  OUTPUT [L/MONO] and [R] jacks Line level audio signals are output via these phone jacks. For monophonic output, use only the [L/MONO] jack.  [PHONES] (Headphone) jack This standard stereo phones jack is for connection to a set of stereo headphones. This jack outputs audio signals identical to those from the OUTPUT [L/MONO] and [R] jacks  A/D INPUT [L] and [R] jacks External audio signals can be input via these phone jacks (mono phone plug). Various devices such as microphone, guitar, bass, CD player, synthesizer can be connected to these jacks and their audio input signal can be sounded as the Audio Part of the Voice, Performance, Song, or Pattern. In addition, you can use the special Vocoder feature (page 37) by connecting a microphone to one of these jacks and inputting your Voice to the microphone. Use mono phone plugs. For stereo signals (such as from audio equipment), use both jacks. For mono signals (such as from a microphone or guitar), use only one of these jacks according to the "Mono/Stereo" parameter setting. NOTE When using these jacks, make sure to confirm the "Mono/Stereo" parameter setting which can be set in the following displays for each mode: • For the Voice mode: the VCE A/D display in the Utility mode • For the Performance mode: the A/D IN display in Common Edit • For the Song/Pattern mode: the A/D IN display in Mixing Common Edit 16 MOX6/MOX8 Owner's Manual
