Connecting external MIDI
instruments
With a standard MIDI cable (available separately), you can
connect an external MIDI instrument, and control it from the
MOX6/MOX8. Likewise, you can use an external MIDI device
(such as a keyboard or sequencer) to control the sounds on
the
MOX6/MOX8
. Below are several different MIDI connection
examples; use the one most similar to your intended setup.
NOTE Any one of these interfaces can be used for MIDI data
transmission/reception: the MIDI connectors, or the USB [TO
HOST] connector. However, they cannot be used at the same
time. Select which connector is to be used for MIDI data transfer
in the “MIDI IN/OUT” parameter of the [UTILTITY] [F6] MIDI
[SF4] OTHER display. As you work through the explanations in
this chapter, set “MIDI IN/OUT” to “MIDI” since MIDI is used as
the example connection here.
Controlling MOX6/MOX8 from an external MIDI
keyboard or synthesizer
Use an external keyboard or synthesizer to remotely select
and play the Voices of the MOX6/MOX8.
Controlling an external MIDI keyboard or
synthesizer from the MOX6/MOX8
This connection lets you sound an external MIDI tone
generator (synthesizer, tone generator module, etc.) by
playing the MOX6/MOX8 or playing back the Song/Pattern of
the
MOX6/MOX8
. Use this connection when you wish to sound
the other instrument as well as the MOX6/MOX8.

MIDI Transmit Channel and Receive Channel.
Make sure to match the MIDI Transmit Channel of the external
MIDI instrument with the MIDI Receive Channel of the MOX6/
MOX8. For details on setting the MIDI Transmit Channel of the
external MIDI instrument, refer to the owner’s manual of that
instrument. For details on setting the MIDI Receive Channel of
the MOX6/MOX8, check the following points.
In the Voice mode/Performance mode (using the MOX6/
MOX8 as a single timbre tone generator):
Check the MIDI Basic Receive Channel with the following
operation: [UTILITY] [F6] MIDI [SF1] CH (channel)
“BasicRcvCh.” If necessary, change this parameter to the same
number as the MIDI Transmit Channel of the external MIDI
instrument.
In the Song mode/Pattern mode (using the MOX6/MOX8 as
a multi-timbral tone generator):
Check the MIDI Receive Channel for each Part of the Multi with
the following operation. [SONG]/[PATTERN] [MIXING]
[EDIT] selection parts [F1] VOICE [SF2] MODE
“ReceiveCh.” If necessary, change this parameter to the same
number as the MIDI Transmit Channel of the external MIDI
instrument. Please note that all parts whose MIDI Receive
Channels are the same as the MIDI Transmit Channel of the
external MIDI instrument are sounded by your keyboard
performance. Change the settings of the desired parts to match
the MIDI Transmit Channel settings on the external MIDI
instrument.
