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. While the Owner’s Manual is packaged together with the synthesizer as a hardcopy booklet, this Reference Manual, Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List are provided as PDF documents on the bundled CD-ROM.
Basic Structure Basic Structure Functional blocks Tone Generator block Functional Blocks A/D Input block The MOXF6/MOXF8 system consists of six main functional blocks: Tone Generator, A/D Input, Sequencer, Arpeggio, Arpeggio block Controller, and Effect.
Basic Structure Tone Generator Block The tone generator block is what actually produces sound in response to the MIDI messages received from the Sequencer block, Controller block, Arpeggio block and from the external MIDI instrument via the MIDI [IN] terminal or Functional blocks Tone Generator block the USB [TO HOST] terminal.
Basic Structure Drum Voices Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard. Unlike Elements, a Drum key is equivalent to the corresponding note, meaning that you cannot change its range. Drum or percussion sounds are assigned to each Drum Key.
Basic Structure Elements and Drum Keys Functional blocks Elements and Drum Keys 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. These small sound units can be built, enhanced and processed by a variety of traditional synthesizer parameters, such as Oscillator, Pitch, Filter, Amplitude, and LFO (shown below).

Mixing Part. In this case, the sound of the Song/Pattern you created may change unexpectedly if you edit or delete the Voice used for the Song/Pattern Mixing in the Voice mode. Mixing Voices are provided to prevent these accidental sound changes. Basic Structure Functional blocks Tone Generator block A/D Input block Memory structure of Mixing Sequencer block A Mixing program is provided for each Song or Pattern. Selecting a different Song/Pattern calls up a Arpeggio block different Mixing program.
Basic Structure Sequencer Block This lets you create Songs and Patterns by recording and editing your performances as MIDI data (from the controller block), allowing you to play the data back with the tone generator block. Functional blocks Tone Generator block A/D Input block Sequencer block Arpeggio block Sequencer block in the Song mode Controller block Effect block About Songs Internal memory A Song is created by recording your keyboard performance as MIDI sequence data to individual Tracks.
Basic Structure Pattern Chain Functional blocks Pattern Chain allows you to string several different Sections (within a single Pattern) together to make a Tone Generator block single, complete Song. You can have the MOXF6/MOXF8 automatically change Sections by creating a A/D Input block Pattern Chain beforehand, recording Pattern playback with Section changes from the Pattern Chain Sequencer block display. One Pattern Chain can be created for each Pattern in the Pattern Chain display (page 103).

Basic Structure Mega Voices and Mega Voice Arpeggios Functional blocks Normal Voices use velocity switching to make the sound quality and/or level of a Voice change according to how strongly or softly you play the keyboard—giving greater authenticity and natural response to these Voices. However Mega Voices have a very complex structure with many different layers that is not suitable for playing manually.
Arpeggio type with a normal name (example: UpOct1) In addition to the above types, there are three playback types: the Arpeggios created for use of Normal Voices and played back using only the played notes and their octave notes (page 15), the Arpeggios created for use of Drum Voices (page 16), and Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events (page 16).
Basic Structure Arpeggio related settings There are several methods for triggering and stopping the Arpeggio playback. In addition, you can set whether or not SFX sounds and special Accent Phrases are triggered along with the normal sequence data. This section covers the Arpeggio related parameters which can be set in the Voice, Performance and Mixing modes.
Basic Structure Random SFX Functional blocks Some Arpeggio types feature a Random SFX function which will trigger special sounds (such as guitar Tone Generator block fret noises) when the note is released. The following parameters affecting Random SFX are provided.
Arpeggios for Drum/Percussion Voices (Category: DrPc) Basic Structure Functional blocks These Arpeggio types are programmed specifically for use with Drum Voices, giving you instant access Tone Generator block to various rhythm patterns. Three different playback types are available. A/D Input block Sequencer block Playback of a drum pattern Arpeggio block Pressing any note(s) will trigger the same rhythm pattern.
Basic Structure Controller Block This block consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, Ribbon Controller, Knobs, Sliders and so on. The keyboard itself doesn’t generate sounds, but instead generates/transmits note on/off, velocity and other information Functional blocks Tone Generator block (MIDI messages) to the synthesizer’s tone generator block when you play notes. The controllers also generate/transmit A/D Input block MIDI messages.
Effect Block This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block as well as audio input block, processing and enhancing the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting you change the sound as desired. Basic Structure Functional blocks Tone Generator block A/D Input block Sequencer block Effect structure Arpeggio block Controller block Effect block System Effects – Reverb and Chorus Internal memory System Effects are applied to the overall sound.

Part EQ Insertion A/B Voice 2 Selection of the Parts to which the Insertion Effect is applied Settings: Set in the INS SW display (page 64) of Performance Common Edit.
Basic Structure About the Vocoder Effect MOXF6/MOXF8 features a Vocoder effect. Vocoder is a distinctive, “robot voice” effect which extracts the characteristic of the microphone sound and adds it to the sound via your keyboard performance. The human voice consists of sounds Functional blocks Tone Generator block generated from the vocal cords, and filtered by the throat, nose and mouth.
Basic Structure Internal Memory The MOXF6/MOXF8 creates a variety of different kinds of data, including Voice, Performance, Song, and Pattern. This section describes how to maintain the various types of data and use the memory devices/media for storing them.
Flash ROM ROM (Read Only Memory) is memory designed specifically for reading out data, and as such data cannot be written to it. Unlike conventional ROM, Flash ROM can be overwritten—allowing you to store your own original data. The contents of Flash ROM are maintained even when the power is turned off.
