Control and Functions  Keyboard The MOXF8 features an 88-key keyboard, while the MOXF6 has 61 keys. All are equipped with a touch response feature, initial touch.

You can also assign other functions to this controller.  [LEVEL] meter (page 39) Indicates the level of the signal specified via the [LEVEL] meter switch button. ! ?
