Using the MOXF6/MOXF8 Manuals Your MOXF6/MOXF8 synthesizer comes with four different reference guides - the Owner's Manual, the Reference Manual (this document), the Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List.

Furthermore, a wide variety of parameters-envelope generator, filter, modulation, and others-can be applied. MOXF6/MOXF8 Reference Manual 3 - Yamaha MOXF8 | Reference Manual - Page 4

are the smallest "building blocks" in the MOXF6/MOXF8 that comprise a Voice; in fact, only one Element or one Drum Key could be used to create a Voice.
