A message from the MOXF6/MOXF8 Development Team Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MOXF6/MOXF8 Music Production Synthesizer. We, as the development team, have designed this instrument so that players of every genre and level can easily enjoy truly high-quality sounds and advanced functions in creating and performing music. SOUND Extraordinarily high-quality sound for a variety of applications The MOXF6/MOXF8 draws on the high-quality sound of the famed MOTIF XF, used extensively by artists worldwide, and is equipped with a wide range of dynamic sounds for use in virtually any music application. Furthermore, in one of the most important advantages of the MOXF, an optional Flash Memory Expansion Board can be installed. This feature was included in response to many and repeated requests from power users. Now, Sample (audio) data remains on the board, even when the power is turned off-allowing you to instantly use Waveforms containing Samples when you turn the power back on, without the need to load them from an external USB storage device. FUNCTIONS Instant, smooth translation from inspiration to final music composition The MOXF6/MOXF8 features a powerful Performance Creator function which lets you combine your favorite Voice with other Voices and drum parts, and perform with full rhythmic and chordal backing. You can also record your performances as a Song or Pattern, simply by pressing the [REC] button from Performance mode-and then, after recording, automatically move to the Song/Pattern mode for further editing, refining and completing the Song or Pattern. This workflow is exceptionally smooth and transparent, and lets you create music quickly and easily as the inspiration hits. Seamless music production with Cubase The MOXF6/MOXF8 were developed giving maximum consideration to integration with the Cubase series DAW software made by Steinberg. We've enhanced and strengthened the remote control function in connection with Cubase, letting you easily and conveniently control optional parameters on Cubase with the AI KNOB, or by using control templates compatible with various VST instruments to easily control multiple parameters and complex operations on software synthesizers directly from your hardware synthesizer keyboard. DESIGN Stylish design and professional look We also designed the stylish exterior to reflect the professional-level sounds and sophisticated features of the MOXF6/MOXF8, making it an instrument you'll love to play, and one you'll feel proud in showing off onstage. Moreover, its value as a live performance instrument is made even greater by its portability. We also took particular care in designing the size and external appearance to make it easy to use, even when combined in a computer music system. 6 MOXF6/MOXF8 Owner's Manual
