Pattern Chain Pattern Chain allows you to string several different Sections (within a single Pattern) together to make a single, complete Song. You can have the MOXF6/MOXF8 automatically change Sections by creating a Pattern Chain beforehand, recording Pattern playback with Section changes from the Pattern Chain display. One Pattern Chain can be created for each Pattern in the Pattern Chain display (page 103). You can also use this feature when creating Songs based on a certain Pattern, since the created Pattern Chain can be converted into a Song in Pattern Chain Edit (page 104). Section A Section B Section C Basic Structure Functional blocks Tone Generator block A/D Input block Sequencer block Arpeggio block Controller block Effect block Internal memory Phrase This is the basic MIDI sequence data in a Track-and the smallest unit-used in creating a Pattern. "Phrases" are short musical/rhythmic passages for a single instrument, such as a rhythm pattern for the rhythm part, a bass line for the bass part, or a chord backing for the guitar part. This synthesizer features memory space for 256 of your own original User Phrases. NOTE The MOXF6/MOXF8 provides no Preset Phrases. Pattern Track Structure A Pattern consists of 16 separate Tracks. See "Sequence Tracks 1 - 16" of "Song Track Structure." (Page 9) Pattern Tracks and Phrases A Pattern consists of 16 Tracks to which the Phrase can be assigned. MIDI data cannot be directly recorded to each Track in the Pattern mode. Recording is done to an empty User Phrase. The newly created Phrase is automatically assigned to the recording Track.

MIDI sequence data is recorded to the MIDI Track and the Normal Voice or Drum Voice is assigned to the Mixing part corresponding to the Track. To edit the Mixing parameters such as Voice, volume and pan for each Track, press the [MIXING] button to enter the Mixing mode (page 114), then edit them for the Mixing Part corresponding to the desired Track. Note that Track 1 does not always correspond to Mixing Part 1. As illustrated below, each Track of the Song sequence data and each Mixing Part of the tone generator block are connected when the output channel (TxCH) equals the receive channel (RcvCH). In other words, the sequence data of each Track plays the corresponding Parts (those having the same MIDI channel assignment) in the tone generator block. The Transmit Channels of each Track can be set in the TRACK display (page 78) of the Song mode or Pattern mode while the Receive Channels of each Part can be set in the VOICE display (page 117) of Mixing Edit.
