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.

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

the USB [TO HOST] terminal. The MIDI messages are assigned to sixteen independent channels, and the instrument is

capable of simultaneously playing sixteen separate Parts, via the sixteen MIDI channels. However, the sixteen-channel

limit can be overcome by using separate MIDI “ports,” each supporting sixteen channels. The tone generator block of

this instrument can handle MIDI messages over Port 1. The structure of the tone generator block differs depending on

the mode.

Tone Generator block in the Voice Mode

Part structure in the Voice mode

Only one MIDI channel can be recognized in the Voice mode because only one part is available in this

mode. This status is referred to as a “single timbre” tone generator. A Voice is played from the keyboard,

using a single part. To set the MIDI receive channel for single timbre operation (Voice and Performance

modes), use the “BasicRcvCh” parameter (page 148) in the Utility MIDI display. In the Voice mode, the

instrument recognizes only data over MIDI Port 1.

If you want to play Song data on an external MIDI sequencer or computer consisting of multiple MIDI

NOTE

channels, make sure to use the Song/Pattern mode (page 76).

A program that contains the sonic elements for generating a specific musical instrument sound is

referred to as a “Voice.” Internally, there are two Voice types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal

Voices are mainly pitched musical instrument type sounds that can be played over the range of the

keyboard. Each Voice consists of up to eight Elements (Normal Voice) or up to 73 keys (Drum Voice). An

Element or Drum Key is the basic and the smallest unit for a Voice. This means that only one Element or

key can produce a musical instrument sound. In addition, a Normal Voice can produce even more

realistic sound or various types of sound by combining multiple Elements. Each Voice is created by

editing parameters unique to each Element/Key (Element Edit parameters/Key Edit parameters) and

parameters common to all the Elements/Keys (Common Edit parameters).

For instructions on editing a Normal Voice, see page 30. For instructions on editing a Drum Voice, see page

NOTE

47.

Normal Voices and Drum Voices

Normal Voices

This is a Voice which is played conventionally from

the keyboard, with standard pitches sounding for

each key. A Normal Voice consists of up to eight

Elements. Depending on the settings in the Voice

Edit mode, these Elements are sounded

simultaneously, or different Elements are sounded

according to the note range, velocity range and

the XA (Expanded Articulation) settings. The illustration is an example of a Normal Voice. Since the six

Elements here are distributed across both the note range of the keyboard and the velocity range, a

different Element sounds depending on which note you play and how strongly you play it. In the velocity

distribution, Elements 1, 3 and 5 sound when playing the keyboard softly, while Elements 2, 4 and 6

sound when playing it strongly. In the note distribution, Elements 1 and 2 sound in the lower range of the

keyboard, Elements 3 and 4 sound in the middle range, and Elements 5 and 6 sound in the higher

range. In the velocity distribution, Elements 1, 3 and 5 sound when playing the keyboard softly, while

Elements 2, 4 and 6 sound when playing it strongly. In a practical example of this in use, a piano Voice

could be composed of six different samples. Elements 1, 3 and 5 would be the sounds of the piano

played softly, over the respective note ranges, while Elements 2, 4 and 6 would be strongly played

sounds, for each respective note range. Actually, the MOX6/MOX8 is even more flexible than this, since

it allows up to eight independent Elements.

Drum Voices

Individual drum sounds

(different for each key)

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. You can create various types of

Drum Voices by changing the drum or percussion sound assigned to each key and edit the parameters

such as pitch and EG.

Expanded Articulation (XA)

Expanded Articulation (XA) is a specially designed tone generation system of the MOTIF XS that

provides greater performance flexibility and acoustic realism. This feature, adopted from the MOTIF XS

synthesizer, allows you to more effectively recreate realistic sound and natural performance

techniques—such as legato and staccato—and provides other unique modes for random and alternate

sound changes as you play.

Realistic legato performance

Conventional synthesizers recreate a legato effect in the mono mode by continuing the volume

envelope of a previous note on to the next one. However, this results in an unnatural sound different from

that of an actual acoustic instrument. The MOX6/MOX8 more accurately reproduces a legato effect by

allowing specific Elements to be sounded when playing legato and other Elements to be played

normally (with the XA Control parameter settings “normal” and “legato”).

Authentic note release sound

Conventional synthesizers cannot adequately produce the sounds of notes on acoustic instruments

being released. The MOX6/MOX8 reproduces these special, characteristic sounds by setting the XA

Control parameter of certain Elements to “keyOffSound.”

Subtle sound variations for each note played

Conventional synthesizers attempt to reproduce this by randomly changing the pitch and/or filter.

However, this produces an electronic effect and is different from the real sound changes on an acoustic

instrument. The MOX6/MOX8 more accurately reproduces these subtle sound variations by using the

XA Control parameter settings “waveCycle” and “waveRandom.”

Switching among different sounds to recreate the natural performance on an
acoustic instrument

Acoustic instruments have their own unique characteristics—even specific, unique sounds that are

produced only at certain times in a performance. These include the flutter tonguing on a flute or the

playing of high harmonics on an acoustic guitar. Conventional synthesizers (before the MOTIF XS

series) could realize such sounds, for example, by triggering them through high (strong) velocity. The

MOX6/MOX8 recreates these by allowing you to switch between the sounds while you play—using the

ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1]/[2] buttons and the XA Control parameter settings, “AF1 On,” “AF2 On”

and “all AF off.”

You can turn the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1]/[2] button on or off also by transmitting the Control Change

NOTE

number specified as “AF1”/”AF2” (page 146) in the Utility CTL ASN display from an external device.

New sounds and new styles of playing

The highly versatile functions above can be applied effectively not only to acoustic sounds but also to

synthesizer and electronic Voices as well. The XA feature opens up enormous potential for realizing

authentic sounds, performing expressively and coming up with creative new styles of playing.

Elements and Drum Keys are the smallest “building blocks” in the MOX6/MOX8 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).

Oscillator

This unit outputs the wave which determines the basic pitch. You can assign the waveform (or basic

sound material) to each Element of a Normal Voice or each Key of a Drum Voice. In the case of a Normal

Voice, you can set the note range for the Element (the range of notes on the keyboard over which the

Element will sound) as well as the velocity response (the range of note velocities within which the

Element will sound). In addition, the XA related parameters of this unit can be set. Each waveform

consists of sample(s) created by recording the sound of the actual instrument and assigning

appropriate keyboard and velocity settings. Oscillator related parameters can be set in the Oscillator

display (pages 38 and 48).

Pitch

This unit controls the pitch of the sound (wave) output from the Oscillator. In the case of a Normal Voice,

you can detune separate Elements, apply Pitch Scaling and so on. Also, by setting the PEG (Pitch

Envelope Generator), you can control how the pitch changes over time. Pitch related parameters can be

set in the PITCH display (page 39) of the Voice Element Edit. Note that the Pitch related parameters of a

Drum Voice can be set in the PITCH display (page 49) of Drum Voice Key Edit.

Filter

This unit modifies the tone of the sound output from Pitch by cutting the output of a specific frequency

portion of the sound. Also, by setting the FEG (Filter Envelope Generator), you can control how the

Cutoff Frequency of the Filter changes over time. Filter related parameters can be set in the FILTER

display (pages 41 and 50) of Voice Element Edit or Drum Voice Key Edit.

Amplitude

This unit controls the output level (amplitude) of the sound output from the Filter block. The signals are

then sent at this level to the Effect block. Also, by setting the AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator), you

can control how the volume changes over time. Amplitude related parameters can be set in the AMP

display (pages 43 and 50) of Voice Element Edit or Drum Voice Key Edit.

LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)

As its name suggests, the LFO produces a wave of a low frequency. These waves can be used to vary

the pitch, filter or amplitude of each Element to create effects such as vibrato, wah and tremolo. LFO

can be set independently for each Element; it can also be set globally for all Elements. LFO related

parameters can be set in the LFO display (pages 33 and 45) of Voice Common Edit or Voice Element

Edit.

In this mode, the tone generator block receives MIDI data over a single channel. This status is referred

to as a “single timbre” tone generator. This mode lets you play a Performance (in which multiple Voices

or Parts are combined—in a layer, or in other configurations) using the keyboard. Keep in mind that

Song data on an external sequencer consisting of multiple MIDI channels will not play back properly in

this mode. If you are using an external MIDI sequencer or computer to play the instrument, make sure to

Performance

A program in which multiple Voices (Parts) are combined in a layer, or in other configurations is referred

to as a “Performance.” Each Performance can contain up to four different Parts (Voices). Each

Performance can be created by editing parameters unique to each Part and parameters common to all

Parts in Performance mode (page 55).

Performance Memory contents

Two User Banks are provided. Each Bank contains 128 Performances, for a total of 256 User

Performances.

Tone Generator block in the Song mode/Pattern mode

Part structure of the tone generator block in the Song mode/Pattern mode

In these modes, multiple Parts are provided and different Voices and different melodies or phrases can

be played back for each Part. A MIDI tone generator that simultaneously receives over multiple MIDI

channels and plays multiple instrument Parts is referred to as a “multi-timbral” tone generator. The

settings for the multi-timbral tone generator are collectively referred to as a “Mixing.” You can use the

Mixing when playing the MOX6/MOX8 sounds by using an external MIDI sequencer as well as using the

sequencer block of the instrument. In this case, you should use the Mixing of the Song or Pattern that

does not contain any sequence data.

Appendix

MIDI

About Mixing

A program in which multiple Voices are assigned to Parts for multi-timbral play in the Song and Pattern

modes is referred to as a “Mixing.” Each Mixing can contain up to 16 parts. Each Mixing can be created

by editing parameters unique to each Part and parameters common to all Parts in the Mixing mode

(page 114).

Also, one Mixing has up to sixteen memory locations for saving Normal Voices. These Voices which are

saved are called Mixing Voices. Normally, the Voice stored in the Voice mode is assigned to each

MOX6/MOX8 Reference Manual

7

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.

Memory structure of Mixing

A Mixing program is provided for each Song or Pattern. Selecting a different Song/Pattern calls up a

different Mixing program. A Mixing Voice provides 16 memories for each Mixing program (Song or

Pattern). Selecting a different Song/Pattern calls up the different Mixing Voice as well as the Mixing

program. If you wish to use a Mixing Voice of a certain Song/Pattern for another Song/Pattern, execute

the Copy operation (page 123) in the Mixing Voice Job. Note that up to 256 Mixing Voices can be stored

for all Songs and Patterns. If the memory for Mixing Voices is full, delete the Mixing Voices you don’t

need by executing the Delete job of the Mixing Voice job.

Maximum Polyphony

Maximum polyphony refers to the highest number of notes that can be sounded simultaneously

from the internal tone generator of the instrument. The maximum polyphony of this synthesizer is

64. When the internal tone generator block receives a number of notes exceeding the maximum

polyphony, previously played notes are cut off. Keep in mind this may be especially noticeable

with Voices not having decay. Furthermore, the maximum polyphony applies to the number of

Voice Elements used, not the number of Voices. When Normal Voices that include up to eight

Elements are used, the maximum number of simultaneous notes may be less than 64.

About Songs

A Song is created by recording your keyboard performance as MIDI sequence data to individual

Tracks. A Song on this synthesizer is effectively the same as a Song on a MIDI sequencer, and playback

automatically stops at the end of the recorded data.

Song Track structure

A Song consists of 16 separate Tracks, a Scene Track, and a Tempo Track. You can record these Tracks

by using Realtime recording or Step recording (page 79). Moreover, you can insert or edit the recorded

data using Song Edit (page 84).

Sequence Tracks 1 – 16

Sequencer block in the Pattern mode

About Patterns

In the MOX6/MOX8, the term “Pattern” refers to a relatively short musical or rhythmic Phrase—1 to 256

measures—which is used for looped playback. Therefore, once Pattern playback starts, it continues
until you press the [J] (Stop) button.

Section

Patterns are more than just a single Phrase—they include 16 variations called “Sections.” These

Sections can be changed during playback and used as rhythmic/backing variations for the various

parts of a Song. For example, you could use one Section for the verse, another for the chorus, and a

third for the bridge. The Pattern related settings such as tempo and Mixing do not change even when

the Section is switched, keeping the overall playback consistent in feel and rhythm through the

changes. You can use the Section function as a convenient compositional tool, instantly creating the

backing Pattern variations for a Song, such as melody A, melody B, and main theme. For instructions on

changing Patterns and Sections, see the MOX6/MOX8 Owner’s Manual.

Pattern Chain allows you to string several different Sections (within a single Pattern) together to make a

single, complete Song. You can have the MOX6/MOX8 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).

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.

The MOX6/MOX8 provides no Preset Phrases.

NOTE

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 Tracks and Mixing settings

MIDI Tracks are created by recording your keyboard performance in the Song Record mode/Pattern

Record mode. 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.

In Performance recording, operating the knobs only result in the Control Change messages being recorded;

NOTE

Parameter Change messages cannot be recorded. For details regarding Control Change messages, see the
“Synthesizer Parameter Manual” PDF document.

Arpeggio playback data for Parts 1 – 4 of the Performance will be recorded to the specified four Tracks

(in the REC TR display of Performance Record) of the Song/Pattern respectively. Your keyboard

performance and controller/knob operations (common to Parts 1 – 4) will be recorded to Tracks 1 – 4

separately.

Arpeggio Block

This block lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases using the current Voice by simply pressing a

note or notes on the keyboard. The Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords you

play, giving you a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and performing. Four

Arpeggio types can be played back at the same time even in the Song mode and Pattern mode.

Arpeggio categories

The Arpeggio types are divided into 18 categories as listed below. The categories are based on instrument type.

Mega Voices and Mega Voice Arpeggios

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. Mega Voices were developed specifically to be played by Mega Voice arpeggios to produce
incredibly realistic results. You should always use Mega Voices with Mega Voice Arpeggios (included in “GtMG”
and “BaMG” category). For details regarding the Mega Voice Arpeggios, see the “Voice Type” of the “Arpeggio

Arpeggio Type Name

The Arpeggio Types are named according to certain rules and abbreviations. Once you understand these rules and

abbreviations, you’ll find it easy to browse through and select the desired Arpeggio Types.

Arpeggio type with “_ES” at the end of the type name (example: HipHop1_ES)

These Arpeggio types use the same multi Track Arpeggio architecture as the MOTIF ES. This ES type of

arpeggio has the following benefits: 1) These arpeggios can create complex notes and chords even

when triggered by one note. 2) The arpeggio closely follows the notes played on the keyboard (only in

the area where the arpeggio is assigned), allowing a good deal of harmonic freedom and the possibility

to “solo” using these arpeggios.

Arpeggio type with “_XS” at the end of the type name (example: Rock1_XS)

These Arpeggios use a newly developed chord recognition technology to determine what notes should

be played back by the Arpeggio. This XS type of arpeggio has the following benefits: 1) The arpeggios

respond only to an area on the keyboard where an XS type of arpeggio is assigned. Other areas of the

keyboard do not affect the chord recognition. This allows very natural keyboard playing across the

entire keyboard with arpeggio generated bass and backing parts. 2) The arpeggio will always play

harmonically correct parts. These are especially useful for bass and chordal backing parts.

MOX6/MOX8 Reference Manual

12

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).

Arpeggios for Normal Voices

Arpeggio types (belonging to all categories except for DrPC and Cntr) created for use of Normal Voices

have the following three playback types.

Playback of played notes only

The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note(s) and octave notes.

Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played notes

These Arpeggio types have the several sequences each of which is suited for a certain chord type.

Even if you press only one note, the Arpeggio is played back using the programmed sequence—

meaning that notes other than the ones you play may be sounded. Pressing another note triggers a

transposed sequence using the pressed note as the new root note. Adding notes to those already held

changes the sequence accordingly. Arpeggios with this playback type have “_ES” at the end of the type

name.

Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played chord

These Arpeggio types created for use with Normal Voices are played back to match the chord type

determined by detecting the notes you play on the keyboard. Arpeggios with this playback type have

“_XS” at the end of the type name.

When the “KeyMode” parameter is set to “sort” or “sortdirect,” the same sequence is played back no matter

NOTE

what order you play the notes. When the “KeyMode” parameter is set to “thru” or “thrudirect,” a different
sequence is played back depending on the order you play the notes.

NOTE Since these types are programmed for Normal Voices, using them with Drum Voices may not produce

musically appropriate results.

Appendix

MIDI

MOX6/MOX8 Reference Manual

Arpeggios for Drum/Percussion Voices (Category: DrPc)

These Arpeggio types are programmed specifically for use with Drum Voices, giving you instant access

to various rhythm patterns. Three different playback types are available.

Playback of a drum pattern

Pressing any note(s) will trigger the same rhythm pattern.

Playback of a drum pattern, plus additional played notes (assigned drum
instruments)

Pressing any note will trigger the same rhythm pattern. Adding notes to the one already held produces

additional sounds (assigned drum instruments) for the drum pattern.

Playback only of the played notes (assigned drum instruments)

Playing a note or notes will trigger a rhythm pattern using only the notes played (assigned drum

instruments). Keep in mind that even if you play the same notes, the triggered rhythm pattern differs

depending on the order of the notes played. This gives you access to different rhythm patterns using

the same instruments simply by changing the order in which you play the notes, when the “KeyMode”

parameter is set to “thru” or “thrudirect.”

The three playback types above are not distinguished by category name or type name. You'll have to actually

NOTE

play the types and hear the difference.

Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events (Category: Cntr)

These arpeggio types are programmed primarily with Control Change and Pitch Bend data. They are

used to change the tone or pitch of the sound, rather than play specific notes. In fact, some types

contain no note data at all. When using a type of this category, set the “KeyMode” parameter to “direct,”

“thrudirect,” or “sortdirect.”

Tips for Arpeggio playback

Arpeggios not only provide inspiration and full rhythmic passages over which you can perform, they give you
quality MIDI data you can use in creating Songs, or fully formed backing parts to be used in your live
performances. For instructions on using Arpeggio, see the “Quick Guide” in the Owner’s Manual.

Controller Block

Pitch up

Maximum

Minimum

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

(MIDI messages) to the synthesizer’s tone generator block when you play notes. The controllers also generate/transmit

MIDI messages. The synthesizer’s tone generator block produces sound according to the MIDI messages transmitted

from the keyboard and controllers.

Keyboard

The keyboard transmits the note on/off messages to the Tone Generator Block (for sounding) and Sequencer Block (for

recording). The keyboard is also used for triggering Arpeggio playback. You can change the note range of the

keyboard in octaves by using the OCTAVE [-]/[+] buttons, transpose the notes by using the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons,

and set how the actual velocity is generated according to the strength with which you play notes.

Pitch Bend wheel

Use the Pitch Bend wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or

down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. Roll the wheel

upward/downward to bend the pitch upward/downward. This wheel is self-

centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released. Each

preset Voice has its own default Pitch Bend Range setting. The Pitch Bend

Range setting can be changed in the GENERAL display (page 30) of Voice

Common Edit, the VOICE display (page 64) of Performance Part Edit, or the

VOICE display (page 117) of Mixing Part Edit. From these displays you can also reverse the Pitch Bend function—so

that moving the wheel up lowers the pitch, and moving it down raises the pitch. Functions other than Pitch Bend can be

assigned to the Pitch Bend wheel in the CTL SET display (page 32) of Voice Edit.

Even though the Modulation wheel is conventionally used to apply vibrato to

the sound, many of the preset Voices have other functions and effects

assigned to the wheel. The more you move this wheel up, the greater the

effect that is applied to the sound. To avoid accidentally applying effects to

the current Voice, make sure the Modulation wheel is set to minimum before

you start playing. Various functions can be assigned to the Modulation wheel

in the CTL SET display (page 32) of the Voice Common Edit.

Assignable Function buttons

According to the XA (Expanded Articulation) Control settings in the OSC display (page 38) of Voice Element Edit, you

can call up specific Elements of the current Voice by pressing each of these buttons during your keyboard

performance. You can select how the on/off status of these buttons is switched by using the Assignable Function 1

Mode and Assignable Function 2 Mode parameters in the GENERAL display (page 30) of Voice Common Edit .

Furthermore, you can assign various functions (other than calling up specific Elements) to these buttons in the CTL SET

display (page 32) of Voice Edit.

Knobs

These eight knobs let you change various aspects of the Voice’s sound in real time—while you play. The eight sliders let

you adjust the volume of the Voice Elements, Performance Parts and Mixing Parts. For instructions on using the knobs in

the Voice/Performance mode, see the Owner’s Manual. For instructions on using the knobs in the Song/Pattern mode,

see page 124.

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.

Effect structure

System Effects – Reverb and Chorus

System Effects are applied to the overall sound. With System Effects, the sound of each Part is sent to

the effect according to the Effect Send Level for each Part. The processed sound (referred to as “wet”)

is sent back to the mixer according to the Return Level, and output—after being mixed with the

unprocessed “dry” sound. This instrument is equipped with Reverb and Chorus as System Effects. In

addition, you can set the Send Level from Chorus to Reverb. This parameter is used to apply Reverb to

the signals output from the Chorus. You can get a natural effect by applying Reverb depth to the Chorus

sound with the same level as that of the dry sound.

Insertion Effects

Insertion Effects can be applied individually to each of specified parts before merging signals of all

parts. It should be used for sounds for which you want to drastically change the character. Each Voice

features one set which has A and B units. You can set different Effect types to the Insertion Effects A and

B, or apply one Vocoder effect to Insertion Effects A and B. These settings can be set in the CONNECT

display (page 35) of the Voice Common Edit.

This synthesizer features three sets of Insertion Effects. They can be applied to three Parts (maximum)

of the Performance, Song or Pattern. Keep in mind that in the Performance and Mixing (Song/Pattern)

mode, the Vocoder effect can be applied only to Part 1. This means that the Vocoder effect does not

work if you assign the Voice (to which the Vocoder is applied in the Voice mode) to other parts (Part 2 or

higher).

About the Vocoder Effect

Mic Input

Keyboard

performance

Robot-like voice

Creating formants

Extracting the characteristic
of the input voice

Voco de r

MOX6/MOX8 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

generated from the vocal cords, and filtered by the throat, nose and mouth. These resonant sections have specific

frequency characteristics and they function effectively as a filter, creating many formants (harmonic content). The

Vocoder effect extracts the filter characteristics of the voice from the microphone input and recreates the vocal formants

by the use of multiple band pass filters. The machine-like ‘robot’ voice is created by passing the pitched sounds of

musical instruments (such as a synthesizer sound) through the filters. For instructions on using the Vocoder effect, see

the Owner’s Manual.

About Effect categories, Effect types, and Effect parameters

For information regarding the effect categories of this instrument and the effect types contained in their categories, see the “Effect
Type List” in the “Data List” PDF document. For information on the effect parameters which can be set in the each effect type, see
the “Effect Parameter List” in the “Data List” PDF document. For information on the descriptions of each effect category, each effect
type, and each effect parameter, see the “Synthesizer Parameters Manual” PDF documentation.

operations: [SONG]  [JOB]  [F5] Track  07: Put Track to Arpeggio or [PATTERN]  [JOB]  [F5] Track  07: Put Track to Arpeggio

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.

DRAM

RAM (Random Access Memory) is memory designed specifically for data writing and data reading

operations. There are two different kinds of RAM, depending on the condition for storing the data: SRAM

(Static RAM) and DRAM (Dynamic RAM). The MOX6/MOX8 is equipped with only DRAM. Because data

contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, you should always store any data residing in

DRAM to the Flash ROM or a USB flash memory before turning off the power.

Appendix

MIDI

MOX6/MOX8 Reference Manual

Edit buffer & User memory

The edit buffer is the memory location for edited data of these types: Voice, Performance, Master, Song

Mixing, and Pattern Mixing. Data edited in this location will be stored to the User Memory. In Voice/

Performance/Master/Mixing mode, the edit buffer is the memory location only for one program.

Therefore, if you select another Voice, Performance, Master, Song, or Pattern, the entire contents of the

edit buffer will be rewritten with the newly selected Voice/Performance/Mixing data. Make sure to store

any important data before selecting another Voice, etc. In Song/Pattern mode, the edit buffer for the

sequencer settings is the memory location for the entire programs of both modes (64 x 2). Therefore,

even if you select another mode (Song mode or Pattern mode) or another Song or Pattern, the

sequence data of old Songs/Patterns will be kept. Make sure to store the sequence data before turning

off the power, because the kept sequence data will be lost when the power is turned off. If you store the

sequence data, all Song data and all Pattern data including the Mixing settings will be stored to User

memory.

Edit buffer and Recall buffer

If you’ve selected another Voice/Performance/Song/Pattern without storing the one you were editing,

you can recall your original edits, since the edit buffer’s contents are stored on backup memory. If

you’ve selected another Voice/Performance/Song/Pattern without storing the one you were editing, you

can recall your original edits.

Keep in mind that the recall buffer is not available in the Master Edit mode.

Drum Voice Edit

Each Drum Voice can consist of up to 73 Drum Keys, assigned to notes spread across the keyboard (C0 to C6). There

are two types of Drum Voice Edit: those for Common Edit to edit the settings common to all keys, and those for Key Edit

to edit individual keys. This section explains the parameters for Common Edit and Key Edit.

Common Edit

Operation

[F1] GENERAL

[SF1] NAME
[SF4] OTHER

This is the same as in Normal Voice Common Edit. See page 30.

[F2] OUTPUT

Same as in Normal Voice Common Edit. See page 31). In addition, the following two parameters are also available.

InsChoSend (Insertion Chorus Send)

Determines the Send level for the entire Drum voice (all keys), sent from Insertion Effect A/B or Vocoder to the Chorus

effect.

Settings: 0 – 127

InsRevSend (Insertion Reverb Send)

Determines the Send level for the entire Drum voice (all keys), sent from Insertion Effect A/B or Vocoder to the Reverb

effect.

Settings: The setting of the “InsChoSend” or “InsRevSend” is common to all keys. When you set the drum key so that the Insertion A/B or

Vocoder is bypassed, the Chorus /Reverb Send Level can be set individually for each drum key. Also, the above parameter
does not affect the key. In that case, you can set the Chorus/Reverb Send Level for each key in the “ChoSend”/”RevSend” in
the [SF2] OUTPUT display of the [F1] OSC display in Key edit.

[F3] EQ

This is the same as in Normal Voice Common Edit. See page 32.

[F4] CTL SET (Controller Set)

Voice Job features several basic operations, such as Initialize and Copy. After setting parameters as required in the

selected display, press the [ENTER] button to execute the Job.

Operation

[F1] INIT (Initialize)

This resets (initializes) all Voice parameters to their default settings. It also allows you to selectively initialize certain

parameters, such as Common settings, settings for each Element/Drum key, and so on—very useful when creating a

completely new voice from scratch.

Parameter Type to be initialized

ALL: All data in Common Edit and Element (Key) Edit

Common: Data in Common Edit

EL: Data of the corresponding Element Edit (or Key Edit) parameters

with WaveNo.: If this is checked, the waves assigned to the Elements (Keys) will be initialized.

In order to select “Common” or “EL,” the “ALL” box must be unchecked.

NOTE

NOTE If you turn the check mark on when a Drum voice is selected, you can select a Drum key.

[F2] RECALL (Edit Recall)

If you are editing a Voice and select a different Voice without storing your edited one, all the edits you’ve made will be

erased. If this happens, you can use Edit Recall to restore the Voice with your latest edits intact.

[F3] COPY

From this display you can copy Common and Element/Drum

Key parameter settings from any Voice to the Voice you are

editing. This is useful if you are creating a Voice and wish to

use some parameter settings from another Voice.

Data type to be copied (Type)

Common: Data in the Common Edit

Element (1 – 8): Data of the corresponding Element Edit

parameters

Key C0 – C6: Data of the corresponding Key Edit parameters

Copy procedure

1. Select the Source Voice.

When “Current” is selected in the Source Voice, the Source Voice will be same as the Destination Voice. If you wish

to copy one Element to another Element in the same Voice, select “Current.”

2. Select the Destination Voice (Current Voice).

3. When “Element” or “Key” is selected in the Source Voice, select the Part/Key to be copied in the Destination Voice.

4. Press the [ENTER] button.

[F4] BULK (Bulk Dump)

Allows you to send all your edited parameter settings for the currently selected Voice to a computer or another MIDI

The Song mode lets you record, edit and play your own original Songs. This section explains each parameter in four

types (Song Play, Song Record, Song Edit, and Song Job).

Song Play

Song Play is the main “portal” by which you enter the Song mode, and it is here where you select and play a Song.

Operation

[F1] PLAY

NOTE From the PLAY display in the Song Play mode, you can select the Voice of the Mixing Part corresponding to the current Track by

pressing the [CATEGORY SEARCH] button.

1 Loc1 (Location 1), Loc2 (Location 2)

The Song Play mode has a convenient Location function that lets you jump to user-specified parts of a Song. This lets

you assign a specific measure number in the selected Song, and instantly jump to the assigned measure—either during

playback or when the Song is stopped. Two locations can be assigned. This display indicates the locations. For detailed

instructions, see page 97.

2 Sequencer Edit indicator

When changing the MIDI data and value of the parameters related sequencer (with the exception of the Mixing

settings), the Sequencer Edit indicator will appear on the top right corner of the display. In Song/Pattern mode, the edit

buffer for the sequencer settings is the memory location for the entire programs of both modes. Therefore, if you change

the sequencer settings for one Song or one Pattern, the Sequencer Edit indicator is always shown in the Song/Pattern

mode (with the exception of the Mixing mode) before storing.

Since the edit buffer for the Mixing settings is different from that for the sequencer settings, the Sequencer Edit Indicator is not

NOTE

shown in the Mixing mode.

3 Track Status

Indicates whether each Track contains MIDI data or not. Solid-lined squares ( ) indicate that the Track contains MIDI

data, while the dotted-lined squares ( ) indicate that the Track contains no data.

4 Song number/ Song name

Determines the Song to be played back.

NOTE If you are using this instrument with an external sequencer, DAW software, or MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it with

that device, set the “MIDI Sync” parameter in the Utility MIDI display (page 149) to “external” or “auto.” When “MIDI Sync” is set
to “auto” (only when MIDI clock is transmitted continuously) or “external,” the Tempo parameter here indicates “external” and
cannot be changed.

NOTE This parameter can be set also by holding the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [ENTER] button several times repeatedly at the

desired tempo. This function is referred to as “Tap Tempo.”

8 MEAS (Measure)

Determines the location at which playback starts. This also indicates the current location of playback.

9 SCN1 (Scene 1) – [SF6] SCN6 (Scene 6)

You can assign the settings of the Song-related parameters (Song Scene) and the Arpeggio-related parameters to these

buttons. You can also recall the settings by pressing these buttons. For detailed instructions on registering Scenes, see

the “Assigning various settings related to Song playback (Song Scene)” on page 97. For detailed instructions on setting

the Arpeggio-related parameters, see page 82.

Pressing the [SF1] SCN1 – [SF6] SCN6 during playback changes only the Song Scene.

NOTE

NOTE After registering the Song Scene, the 8th note icon will appear on the tab corresponding to the pressed button. You can confirm

whether the Arpeggio Type is assigned to that button in the Arpeggio Edit display (page 82) of the Song mode.

[F2] GROOVE (Grid Groove)

The Grid Groove function makes it possible to adjust the pitch, timing, length, and velocity of notes in a specified Track

via a 1-measure 16th-note grid to create “grooves” with precise sequencer-like programming, which would not

otherwise be possible. The Grid Groove function affects Song playback without actually changing the sequence data.

NOTE OFST (Note Offset)

Raises or lowers the pitch of the note(s) on the selected grid in semitones.

Settings: -99 – +00 – +99

CLOCK SFT (Clock Shift)

Shifts the timing of the note(s) on the selected grid forward or backward in clock increments.

Settings: -120 – +000 – +120

[F1] SETUP

Type

Determines the Recording Type. The Recording Type can be divided into two groups: Realtime recording and Step

recording. With Realtime recording, the instrument functions in the same way as a tape recorder, recording the

performance data as it is played. This allows you to capture all the nuances of an actual performance. In Realtime

recording, the “Type” should be set to “replace,” “overdub,” or “punch.” With Step recording, you can compose your

performance by “writing” it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, step recording method—similar to writing

music notation onto paper. In Step recording, the “Type” should be set to “step.”

Settings: When the RecTrack is set to any of 1-16: replace, overdub, punch, step

When the RecTrack is set to tempo: replace, punch, step
When the RecTrack is set to scene: replace, punch
When the RecTrack is set to multi: replace, overdub, punch

replace .............. You can use this method when you want to overwrite an already recorded Track with new data in real time. The

overdub ............. You can use this method when you want to add more data to a Track that already contains data. Previously

punch ................You can use this method when you want to overwrite data to a specified range of a Track that already contains

step.................... Use this method to enter notes manually one at a time.

NOTE When “punch” is selected, “Punch-in measure: beat” and “Punch-out measure : beat” appear in the display and should be set.

If you’ve set the Locate 1 and 2 points (Loc1, Loc2), the punch-in/out points can be set with a single button press. Move the
cursor to the punch-in/out value, and notice that a ”COPYLOC” menu item appears. Press the [SF1] COPYLOC button, and the
punch-in/out settings are automatically assigned to the existing Locate points.

Quantize (Resolution)

This parameter is available when the Recording Type is set to something other than “step.” Record quantize aligns the

timing of notes automatically, as you record. You can set this parameter also by using the Note Type selection window

called up via the [SF6] button.

Settings: off, 2 60 (32nd note), 63 80 (16th note triplet), 6 120 (16th note), 83 160 (8th note triplet), 8 240 (8th note), 43 320 (1/4

note triplet), 4 480 (1/4 note)

Event

This parameter is available when the Recording Type is set to “step.” This lets you specify the event type to be entered.

Settings: note, p.bend (pitch bend), CC#000 – #119 (Control Change)

RecTrack (Recording Track)

Determines the Track to be recorded. Pressing the [SF6] button lets you switch between Single Track recording and All

Operation

In Realtime recording, the editable parameters during recording are in the [F1] SETUP display, [F2] VOICE display, and

[F3] ARP ED display of the Song recording standby mode. In Step recording, the displays shown during recording are

different from the Song recording standby mode. The following parameters can be edited during recording.

[F1] SETUP

This is the display in which notes are “placed” during step recording. When the meter is 4/4, the display is divided into

four beats (one measure). Each diamond-shaped marker in the display represents one 32nd beat (each 1/4 note

division is divided into eight 32nd beats). For example, if the following rhythmic pattern “ ” is entered in 4/4

time, a display like the one shown above right will appear.

Pointer

Determines the data-entry position. The triangular pointer above the beat graph indicates the data-entry position. To

move the pointer right or left, use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons or the [DATA] dial.

Val ue

When the Event to be entered ([F1] SETUP  Event) is set to “note,” this value specifies the velocity with which the note

will be entered.

Settings: When the Event is set to “note”: 1-127, kbd, rnd1 – rnd4 1 – 127, kbd, rnd1 – rnd4

When the Event is set to “p.bend”: -8192 – +8191
When the Event is set to “CC (Control Change 001 – 119)”: 000 – 127
When the Event is set to “tempo” with RecTrack = tempo: 005 – 300

NOTE You can select “kbd” (keyboard) and “rnd1” – “rnd4” (random1 – 4) as well as the values 1 – 127 when the Event to be entered

is set to “note.” When “kbd” is selected, the actual playing strength will be entered as the velocity value. When one of the
random settings is selected, a random velocity value will be entered.

StepTime

This indicates the “size” of the current recording step time for the next note to be entered, and determines to what

position the pointer will advance after a note has been entered. You can set this parameter also by using the Note Type

selection window called up via the [SF6] button.

Settings: 0001 – 0059, 32nd note, 16th note triplet, 16th note, 8th note triplet, 8th note, 1/4 note triplet, 1/4 note, half note, whole note

“Gate time” refers to the actual length of time the note sounds. For the same quarter note, for example, a long gate time

will produce a slur while a short gate time will produce a staccato effect. This allows you to produce slurs, staccato

notes, etc. Gate time is indicated as a percent value of the step time.

When the [F4] button is pressed to enter a tie, the preceding note is lengthened to the full step time. For example, in the

phrase above, notes are entered with 1/4 note step time. If the step time is then changed to an 8th note and [F4] is

pressed, a note is entered. Dotted notes can also be entered using the TIE function. To produce a dotted 1/4 note, for

example, set the step time to an 8th note, enter a note and then press [F4] twice.

This display is available only when the Event to be entered is set to “note.”

NOTICE

The Song Job mode contains a comprehensive set of editing tools and data transform functions you can use to change

the sound of the Song. It also includes a variety of convenient operations, such as copying or erasing data. See the

Owner’s Manual for instructions.

An “Executing...” message is shown when it takes a short amount of time to execute the Job. Never attempt to turn off the power
while an “Executing...” message is shown. Turning the power off in this state results in loss of all user data.

Operation

[F1] UNDO/REDO

The Undo Job cancels the changes you made in your most recent recording session, editing session, or Job, and

restores the data to its previous state. This allows you to recover from accidental data loss. Redo is available only after

using Undo, and lets you restore the changes you made before undoing them.

Undo/Redo does not work with Mixing Voice operations.

[F2] NOTE (Note data Job)

Pressing this calls up the selected Job display.

Before executing the Note data Job, make sure that you specify the Track (01 – 16, all) and range (measure : beat : clock) to

NOTE

which the Job is applied.

01: Quantize

Quantization is the process of adjusting the timing of note events by moving them closer to the nearest exact beat. You

can use this feature, for example, to improve the timing of a performance recorded in real time.

TR (Track) 001 : 1 : 000 – 999 : 4 : 479

Determines the Track (01 – 16, all) and range of measures/beats/clocks over which the Job is applied.

Quantize (Resolution)

Determines to what beats the note data in the specified Track will be aligned.

Settings: 32nd note, 16th note triplet, 16th note, 8th note triplet, 8th note, 1/4 note triplet, 1/4 note, 16th note + 16th note triplet, 8th note

+ 8th note triplet

Strength

This parameter sets the “strength” by which note events are pulled toward the nearest quantize beats. A setting of 100%

produces exact timing. A setting of 0% results in no quantization.

Settings: 000% – 100%

SwingRate

Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to produce a swing feel. For example, if the meter is 4/4 and the

quantize value is quarter notes, the 2nd and 4th beats of the measure will be delayed. When a triplet quantize value is

used, the last note of each triplet is delayed. When the quantize value is even-numbered, beats will be delayed.

Settings: The range differs depending on Quantize setting. For details, see below.

If the quantize value is 1/4 note, 8th note, 16th note, 32nd note:

A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the length of the specified quantize value. A setting of 50% produces exact timing and
therefore no swing feel. Settings above 51% increase the amount of swing, with 75% being equivalent to a dotted-note delay.

If the quantize value is 1/4 note triplet, 8th note triplet, 16th note triplet:

A setting of 100% is equivalent to three times the length of the specified quantize value. A setting of 66% produces exact timing
and therefore no swing feel. Settings above 67% increase the amount of swing, with 83% being equivalent to a sextuplet delay.

If the quantize value is 8th note + 8th note triplet, 16th note + 16th note triplet:

A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the length of a 8th note or 16th note. A setting of 50% produces exact timing and
therefore no swing feel. Settings above 51% increase the amount of swing, with 66% being equivalent to a triplet delay.

NOTE If a swing value other than 100% results in notes being positioned after other non-swing notes, the latter notes are delayed

accordingly.

GateTime

Determines the gate time (the length of time a note sounds) of the even-numbered backbeat notes to enhance the

swing feel. When a triplet quantize value is used, the gate time of the last note of each triplet is adjusted. When the

quantize value is 8th note + 8th note triplet or 16th note + 16th note triplet, the gate time of the even-numbered 8th note

or 16th note beats will be adjusted. A setting of 100% leaves the original gate time unchanged. If an adjusted gate time

value is less than 1, the value is rounded off to 1.

Settings: 000% – 200%

02: Modify Velocity

This Job alters the velocity values of the specified range of notes, letting you selectively boost or cut the volume of those

notes. Velocity changes are calculated as follows:

04: Crescendo

This Job lets you create a crescendo or decrescendo over the specified range of notes. (Crescendo is a gradual

increase in volume, and decrescendo is a gradual decrease.)

TR (Track) 001 : 1 : 000 – 999 : 4 : 479

Determines the Track (01 – 16, all) and range of measures/beats/clocks over which the Job is applied.

VelocityRange

Determines the intensity of the crescendo or decrescendo. The velocity values of the notes in the specified range are

gradually increased or decreased starting at the first note in the range. The velocity of the last note in the range

becomes the original velocity of the note plus the Velocity Range value. If the resultant velocity is outside the 1 – 127

range, it is set to 1 or 127 accordingly. Settings greater than 0 produce a crescendo, and settings less than 0 produce a

decrescendo. A setting of 0 produces no effect.

Settings: -127 – +0 – +127

NOTE Executing this Job changes velocities of the note on events in the specified range to produce the crescendo/decrescendo. Note

that this Job cannot apply the crescendo/decrescendo to long sustained notes having a long gate time. If you wish to do this,
use the “Create Continuous Data” Job (page 92) with the Event Type set to “Control Change 11."

05: Transpose

Transpose lets you change the key or pitch of the notes in the specified range.

TR (Track) 001 : 1 : 000 – 999 : 4 : 479

Determines the Track (01 – 16, all) and range of measures/beats/clocks over which the Job is applied.

Note

Determines the range of note pitches over which the Job is applied. You can also set the note directly from the

keyboard, by holding down the [SF6] KBD button and pressing the desired key.

Settings: C -2 – G8

Transpose

Transposes notes in the specified range (in semitones). A setting of +12 transposes up one octave, while a setting of

-12 transposes down an octave. A setting of 0 produces no change.

Settings: -127 – +0 – +127

06: Glide

The Glide Job replaces all notes following the first note in the specified range with pitch bend data, producing smooth

glides from note to note. This is ideal for producing slide-guitar or string-bending effects.

TR (Track) 001 : 1 : 000 – 999 : 4 : 479

Determines the Track (01 – 16, all) and range of measures/beats/clocks over which the Job is applied.

GlideTime

Determines the time of the glide. Higher values produce a longer glide between notes.

Settings: 000 – 100

PBRange (Pitch Bend Range)

Determines the maximum pitch bend range to be applied by the Glide Job (in semitones).

Settings: 01 – 24

NOTE Please note that the Song may not play back properly if you set the “PB Range” to a value different from the one set via the Voice

Edit mode. In order that the Song plays back properly, insert the MIDI event below to the corresponding Track in the Song Edit

 Song Playback Types

Playback from the middle of the Song

To start playback of the Song from midway through the Song, set the desired location by using the controls below, then
press the [R] (Play) button. These operations can also be executed during playback.

Forward Press the [RR] (Forward) button.

Fast forward Hold the [RR] (Forward) button.

Rewind Press the [LL] (Rewind) button.

Fast Rewind Hold the [LL] (Rewind) button.

Move to the top of the Song Press the [T] (Top) button.

Move to location 1 While holding the [T] (Top) button, press the [LL] (Rewind) button.

Move to location 2 While holding the [T] (Top) button, press the [RR] (Forward) button.

When the Song does not play back properly:

Keep in mind that starting a Song from somewhere in the middle may cause playback problems, such as the wrong

sound, incorrect pitch or unexpected volume changes. This may occur because the MIDI events recorded at the start

the Song have not been recognized by the tone generator section, since playback has started at a different point in the

Song, with different MIDI events. To prevent this from happening, set the “SongEventChase” parameter (page 145) to

“PC+PB+Ctrl” or “all” in the OTHER display of the Utility mode. With this setting, the Song will be played back properly

even when starting playback from the middle of the Song.

Assigning specific measure numbers to Locations 1 and 2

To assign specific measure numbers to locations 1 and 2,
select the desired measure number then press the [LL]/
[RR] (Rewind/Forward) while holding the [REC/SET

LOCATE]. The setting here will be shown at the top of the [F1]

PLAY display in the Song mode.

Assigning various settings related to Song playback (Song Scene)

You can assign five different “snapshots” of important Song-related parameters such as transpose, tempo, Track mute

status, and the basic Song Mixing setup to the [SF1] – [SF6] buttons as Song Scenes. One of the convenient

advantages of Song. Scene is that it lets you instantly and automatically execute parameter settings that normally

require many button presses or controller operations. Use it during Song recording or playback to make instantaneous

setting changes.

Song Chain Playback

Song Chain Playback allows you to put together a play list of preset Songs in any desired order, and have them

automatically play back in sequence. You can set the order of Song playback then start the Chain Playback from the

The Songs are played back according to the order of the Chain. When an empty Song is assigned to the Chain

number, one measure of silence is counted, followed by playback of the next Song. When a “skip” is assigned to the

Chain number, the assigned Song will be ignored or skipped then the next Song will start. When a “stop” is
assigned to the Chain number, playback will be stopped at the corresponding Song. Press the [R] (Play) to restart

playback from the next Chain number. If an “end” is assigned to the Chain number, playback will stop at the end of

the Song.

The four-measure data is repeated ten times

In this example, the last measure is set to “004.”

In the example below, a 40-measure Song has been recorded and Track 1 is set to play back normally over the 40
measures. Track 2 has been set to loop, and will repeat until the [J] (Stop) is pressed.

When set to on, you can specify the range to be looped. (Only the end point can be set; the start point of looped

playback is fixed to the beginning of the Song.)

Please be careful to note that changing the Track Loop from off to on will delete the data of the area that is not looped.

display, and move the cursor to the desired Track.

3 Set Track Loop to on by using the [INC] button or the [DATA] dial. (The display prompts you for

confirmation.)

 Basic Procedure in the Song Job Mode

1 Press the [JOB] button to enter the Song Job.

2 Select the desired Job menu by pressing one of the [F1] – [F6] buttons.

3 Move the cursor to the desired Job by using the [DATA] dial, cursor buttons, [INC] and [DEC]

buttons, then press the [ENTER] button to call up the Job display.

4 Move the cursor to the desired parameter, then set the value by using the [DATA] dial, [INC] and

[DEC] buttons.

5 After setting, press the [ENTER] button to execute the Job.

“Completed” will appear when the Job is done.

In some Jobs, the operation overwrites any data previously existing in the destination memory. Important data should always be
saved to a USB flash memory device connected to the USB TO [DEVICE] terminal.

6 Press the [EXIT] button twice to go back to the Song Play display.

Even if a Job operation has been completed, selecting a different Song or turning the power off without storing will erase the
Song data. Make sure to store the Song data to internal memory by pressing the [STORE] button before selecting a different Song
or turning the power off.

NOTE In some Jobs, you need specify the range (start point and end point as illustrated below) to which the Job is applied. Keep in

mind that the end point itself is not included in the range. The actual range to which the Job is applied is from the start point to
the point that is one clock less than the end point. This rule applies to cases in which you specify only the Measure; however, the
example illustration below shows Measure, Beat and Clock all specified.
