Basic Structure
Functional Blocks
The MOXF6/MOXF8 system consists of six main functional blocks: Tone Generator, A/D Input, Sequencer, Arpeggio,
Controller, and Effect.
*1
Depending on the settings for the audio signal connections, the signals input via the A/D INPUT [L]/[R] jacks may not be sent to the system effect or master
effect.
*2
The audio signals input via the USB [TO HOST] terminal are output to the OUTPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks directly, bypassing the A/D Input block and Effect
block.
AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2)
This instrument is equipped with a AWM2 tone generator block. AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis
system based on sampled waves (sound material), and is used in many Yamaha synthesizers. For extra realism,
each AWM2 Voice uses multiple samples of a real instrument’s waveform. Furthermore, a wide variety of
parameters—envelope generator, filter, modulation, and others—can be applied.
