Quick Guide

In the Performance/Song/Pattern mode, set the 
output channel of the Audio signal for each part.

When the output setting for the audio signal (“Mode” 

parameter) is set to “2StereoRec” in Step 1, you can change 

the audio output channel for each part. In the Performance 

mode, this parameter can be set in the [F4] USB I/O display 

of Common Edit. In the Song/Pattern mode, this parameter 

can be set in the [F4] USB I/O display of Mixing Common 

Edit.

NOTE

In the Voice mode, the audio output channel is fixed to USB 

3/4.

Setting up the DAW software on the computer

1

Set MIDI Thru to “on” on the DAW software.

By setting MIDI Thru to “on,” the MIDI data generated by 

playing the keyboard and transmitted to the computer will be 

returned back to the MOXF6/MOXF8. As shown in the 

example below, the MIDI data transmitted from the MOXF6/

MOXF8 then recorded to the computer via MIDI channel 1 

will be returned back from the computer to the MOXF6/

MOXF8 via MIDI channel 3 according to the setting of the 

recording Track. As a result, the tone generator of the 

MOXF6/MOXF8 will sound the MIDI data generated by 

playing the keyboard as MIDI data from channel 3.

The instructions below show how to use this instrument as a 

MIDI tone generator. In this case, actual MIDI sequence data 

is transmitted from DAW software on the computer, allowing 

you to avoid using software synths and save processing 

power on your computer.

Setting up the MOXF6/MOXF8

1

Press the [SONG] or [PATTERN] button to enter the 
Song mode or Pattern mode.

2

Select the Song or Pattern to be edited.

3

Press the [MIXING] button to call up the Mixing 
display.

4

Set up the Mixing for parts 1 – 16 as necessary.

From the Mixing display, you can select Voices and set 

various parameters such as pan, volume, balance between 

the Chorus/Reverb and dry sound, Insertion effect on/off and 

Arpeggio on/off.

Setting up the DAW software on the computer

1

Set the MIDI output port of the Tracks for playing 
the MOXF6/MOXF8 to Port 1 of the “MOXF6/
MOXF8”

2

Enter the MIDI data to each Track of the DAW 
software on the computer.

The tone generator settings of the part corresponding to the 

MIDI Track will be set in the Mixing mode on the MOXF6/

MOXF8.

NOTE

When using Cubase as the DAW, you can create an original 

Mixing setup of the MOXF6/MOXF8 from the MOXF6/MOXF8 

Editor on your computer. The created Mixing setup can be 

saved as a Cubase Project file for future recall.

Remote-controlling the software 
from the MOXF6/MOXF8 (Remote 
mode)

The MOXF6/MOXF8 features a highly convenient Remote 

mode which lets you control the DAW software and software 

synthesizer on your computer via the panel operations of the 

MOXF6/MOXF8. For example, you can start/stop playback of 

the DAW software on the computer by using the Function 

buttons and control the song position on the DAW software 

by using the [DATA] dial, [INC] and [DEC] buttons instead of 

using the mouse or computer keyboard.

Up to 50 Control Templates of VST Instruments can be stored 

to internal memory of this instrument. With these, you can use 

the MOXF6/MOXF8 to control various software synthesizers. 

Use the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor for editing the Control 

Template. 

NOTE

To use the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor, you need to install the 

MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Tools. The MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Tools 

consists of two components: MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor and 

MOXF6/MOXF8 Extension, which enables you to use the MOXF6/

MOXF8 along with Cubase series.
