What is the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST?

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST Owner’s Manual

What is the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST?

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your

MOX6/MOX8 tone generator. These include Voice and Mixing parameters (edited in the Voice or Mixing

mode of the MOX6/MOX8) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff and other settings. Thanks to its easy-to-

understand graphical interface, you can edit various parameters of the MOX6/MOX8 right from your

computer — using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders, and buttons and entering values from the

computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have made can be saved to your computer or transmitted to

the MOX6/MOX8 instrument.

The MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST, based on the “VST3 technology” by Steinberg, works as a VST3 plug-in with

the Cubase series (version 5.5 or later Cubase 5/Cubase Studio 5, and version 5.1.1 or later Cubase

Essential 5/Cubase AI 5). The MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST also works as the same way as other VST instrument

software, allowing you to save the edited settings of the MOX6/MOX8, or use them for another project. In

addition, you can handle the MOX6/MOX8 Voices in the Media Bay window in Cubase series when using the

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST with Cubase series, allowing you to search for, listen, and load the MOX6/MOX8

Voices within Media Bay in Cubase series. The MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST provides a comprehensive and

seamless music production environment — making the use of hardware and software both easier and much

more efficient.

The MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST lets you adjust the hue as desired (page 6). This manual uses example screen

shots having the most universal color visibility, allowing the manual to be easily viewed by many people

having different types of color recognition.

Data Structure of the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST Owner’s Manual

Data Structure of the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST

The MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST lets you create the following data and save them as a single file (extension: X4E).

• Current Global data (latest status of edited global parameters)

• Current data in the Voice mode (latest status of edited Voice)

• Current data in the Song/Pattern mode (consisting of Mixing setup, latest status of edited Voice and 16 Mixing Voices)

• User Voice data (consisting of three Normal Voice Banks and one Drum Voice Bank)

Current settings includes the latest settings of the Common and Element parameters for the Voice last assigned to

each of Parts 1 – 16, as well as Mixing parameter settings such as Voice assignment, pan, volume and effect for

each Part. Among the Voice Banks, only the Mixing Voice Bank data belongs to the Current settings. The MOX6/

MOX8 Editor VST lets you edit parameters (including Element parameters) of the Voice assigned to each Part and

save the latest edit status as a file without storing it as a User Voice or a Mixing Voice. This means that you can

easily recall the latest status of the previous edit simply by opening the file.

n The MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST handles the Global data which includes some of the parameters shown on the “G” row in

the Mixer section and all the parameters in the Global Settings of the Parameter Category section (pages 19 and 27).

The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST, the

structure of the data stored in the internal memory of the MOX6/MOX8 instrument and the relationship

between those two types of data.

*1 When the MOX6/MOX8 instrument is connected to the computer properly with the ONLINE status, editing a parameter on the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST affects the same parameter on the MOX6/

MOX8 itself, and vice versa.

*2 The Store Voice operation on the Editor will store the Voice data to the memory of the MOX6/MOX8 instrument as well as the memory of the Editor.

*3 The Store Global operation and Store Mixing operation will store the data only to the memory of the MOX6/MOX8 instrument.

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST Owner’s Manual

An Example of MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST in Use

There is no single way to use the many components in the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST. Your editing needs and

preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide in how to use

the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST. As an example, this section explains how to edit a Voice in the Voice mode, edit

a Mixing program in the Song mode, then store the edited data to the memory of the MOX6/MOX8 instrument

and save the final results of your editing to a file.

Editing in the Voice mode

n If the [Song] or [Pattern] indication (at the top left of the display) is on, perform the instructions below from step 1. If the

[Voice] indication is on, perform the instructions below from step 2.

1. Change the mode to the Voice mode by clicking the [Voice] indication (at the top left of

the display).

If the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] indication is set to [ONLINE] before changing the mode, the Auto Sync

window will be called up automatically when this step is executed. As step 2 is thus unnecessary, you

should proceed to step 3.

2. Click the [OFFLINE] to call up the Auto Sync window if the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE]

indication is set to [OFFLINE].

3. On the Auto Sync window, set communication-related parameters such as Input Port,

Output Port and Device Number in the Data Port section, then set the direction of Data

Auto Synchronization (Global, Current and Voice) in the Auto Sync Setting section.

When you want to use the settings on the MOX6/MOX8 itself as starting data for editing, set the boxes of

Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data flows from the instrument to the

computer. To use the settings on the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST as starting data, set both Global, Current

and Voice to the opposite, so that the arrow indicates data flow from the computer to the keyboard. For

details, see page 37.

NOTICE

• Keep in mind that when you set Global, Current and Voice to On, enable data sync from the computer to the MOX6/

MOX8 (instrument), and then click the [Start] button at the bottom, this operation transmits these types of data

currently on the Editor to the MOX6/MOX8 itself, automatically overwriting and erasing all the corresponding data

already existing on memory of the MOX6/MOX8 instrument. When you want to use the settings on the MOX6/MOX8

itself as starting data for editing, set the boxes of Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that

the data flows from the instrument to the computer.

• Make sure to set the desired data transfer direction in order to avoid data loss.

• Any data which was overwritten and lost accidentally cannot be recovered.

Example of VSTi Setup for USB Connection

This section describes a setup example in which the audio signal is transmitted via USB between the MOX6/

MOX8 and the computer.

In the following example, two audio channels are reserved for the stereo part (indicated by PART) of the

MOX6/MOX8, the other two channels are for the stereo A/D input part, and all four of those channels are input

to Cubase.

1. On the MOX6/MOX8, set the Mode parameter to “VST” on the [UTILITY]  [F5] USB I/O

display.

To confirm the audio signal configuration created via this operation, press the [SF6] to call up the

INFORMATION window. You can see there that USB audio channels 1 and 2 are used for the A/D IN

while USB audio channels 3 and 4 are used for the stereo part of the MOX6/MOX8.

2. On the VSTi Setup display of the Editor VST, set how the audio signal is input from the

MOX6/MOX8 to the Cubase Mixer.

Yamaha MOX6/MOX8-1 to 4 in the VSTi Setup display corresponds to USB 1 to 4 on the

INFORMATION window of the MOX6/MOX8.

In the following example, only the PART audio (USB 3 and 4) are input to the Cubase mixer and A/D

IN (USB 1 and 2) are not input.

You can enable the instrument channels on the VST instrument rack.

When you start the Editor VST from an instrument track, only MOX6/MOX8 1 becomes available.

Tips

Recording to Cubase MIDI tracks with the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST

The following instructions show you how to record to Cubase MIDI tracks with the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST.

1. Create a MIDI track and start the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST in Cubase by executing the

steps on pages 4 – 5.

On the Editor VST, set the mode to “Song” or “Pattern.”

2. Make the settings for recording.

On the MOX6/MOX8:

Create a Quick Setup including the following settings on the MOX6/MOX8, then select the created Quick

Setup.

The Quick Setup can be selected from the Editor VST as well as on the MOX6/MOX8 itself.

n • Local Control should be set to “off” to prevent a “double” sound from both the MOX6/MOX8 keyboard and

Cubase. This is because Cubase receives MIDI data from the MOX6/MOX8, then “echoes” (sends it as is)

back to the MOX6/MOX8 (page 55).

• The Direct MonitorSw Part should be set to “on” so that you can monitor the recording sound without

latency (page 55).

On Cubase:

Set the Instrument channel of the Editor VST to “mute on” so that you

monitor the sound directly.

On the Editor VST:

Select a Voice for the Recording Part.

n When the Editor VST is set to “Song” or “Pattern,” the Part which is

connected to the current Editor VST track (MIDI track) of Cubase will

be automatically selected on the Editor VST. For example, when you

select the Cubase MIDI track which is connected to Part 1 of the

MOX6/MOX8, Part 1 is automatically selected on the MOX6/MOX8

Editor VST.

3. Start recording to the Cubase MIDI track.

For details about this operation, see the Cubase manual.

Simply play the MOX6/MOX8 following the Cubase tempo click or the sound of another audio track.

IMPORTANT

If you want to monitor the already recorded MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST track (MIDI track) on recording, it is

recommended to convert the MIDI track data to audio data beforehand. If you do not so, playback of your recorded

performance may not be synchronized with playback of the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST track.

MIDI Local Ctrl off

MIDI Sync auto (Enables MOX6/MOX8 playback to be synchronized with Cubase.)

Clock Out off

ArpOutSw all off (Disables MIDI output of Arpeggio playback data from MOX6/MOX8

AUDIO Mode VST

Direct MonitorSw Part on (Enables you to monitor the MOX6/MOX8 sound directly.)

Tips

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST Owner’s Manual

4. Play back the recorded data.

Make the following settings then listen to the playback sound through the Cubase mixer.

MOX6/MOX8 Instrument

Direct MonitorSW Part: off

Cubase Mixer

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST instrument channel: mute off

You can enhance the sound by applying EQ or effects to the Editor VST track (MIDI track). For detailed

instructions, refer to the Cubase manual.

5. Convert the recorded MIDI track to audio data.

On Cubase, select [File]  [Export]  [Audio Mixdown] to convert the recorded MIDI data to audio

data. For details, see Cubase manual.

6. Create an additional MIDI track for Editor VST.

On Cubase, select [Project]  [Add Track]  [MIDI] to add the MIDI track.

Set the Input routing of the track to “All MIDI Inputs” and Output to “MOX6/

MOX8 VST.” You can record additional tracks by repeating steps 2 to 6

above.

7. Save the Cubase Project.

On Cubase, select [File]  [Save] or [Save As...] to save the Cubase Project.

Recording/Editing Arpeggio playback as MIDI data on Cubase

If you set the Arpeggio to “on” on the Editor VST in step 2 on page 51, you can record your performance

including the Arpeggio playback as audio. If you only want to record Arpeggio playback as audio data, then

follow the previous instructions. However, if you want to edit the MIDI events of the recorded Arpeggio, follow

the instructions here below.

1. Create a MIDI track and start the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST in Cubase by executing the

steps on pages 4 – 5.

On the Editor VST, set the mode to “Song” or “Pattern.”

2. Make the settings for recording.

On the MOX6/MOX8:

Create a Quick Setup including the following settings on the MOX6/MOX8, then select the created Quick

Setup.

The Quick Setup can be selected from the Editor VST as well as on the MOX6/MOX8 itself.

MIDI Local Ctrl on

MIDI Sync auto

Clock Out off

ArpOutSw all on (Enables MIDI output of Arpeggio playback data from the MOX6/

MOX8)

TrExtSw When the Key Mode is set to other than “direct,” “sortdirect,” or “thrudirect”:

all off (Disables MIDI output of played notes)

When the Key Mode is set to “direct,” “sortdirect,” or “thrudirect”:

all on (Enables MIDI output of played notes)

AUDIO Mode VST

Direct MonitorSw Part on (Enables you to monitor the MOX6/MOX8 sound directly.)

Tips

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST Owner’s Manual

n The above settings are for the Song or Pattern mode. If you want to record in the Voice mode, the following

settings are necessary.

• “KBD TxCh=off” instead of “TrExtSw=all off”

• “KBD TxCH=1” instead of “TrExtSw=all on”

On the Editor VST:

For the Recording Part, select a Voice and Arpeggio Type, then set Arpeggio to on.

n When the Editor VST is set to “Song” or “Pattern,” the Part which is connected to the current Editor VST track

(MIDI track) of Cubase will be automatically selected on the Editor VST. For example, when you select the

Cubase MIDI track which is connected to Part 1 of the MOX6/MOX8, Part 1 is automatically selected on the

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST.

On Cubase:

Set the Instrument channel of the Editor VST to “mute on” so that you can

monitor the sound directly.

Set the Output routing of the MIDI track to “Not Connected” so that the MIDI

data from MOX6/MOX8 instrument would not echo back.

IMPORTANT

When the ArpOutSw is set to “all on” in Quick Setup, make sure to set the Output

routing of the MIDI track to “Not Connected” before playing the MOX6/MOX8 keyboard.

This is very important—if you fail to do so, Arpeggio playback data will be echoed back

from Cubase to the MOX6/MOX8 in an endless loop, generating excessive amounts of

data, and causing operation of Cubase and the Editor to almost completely freeze.

However, keep in mind that this should be set to “Connected” while operating the

Editor VST window, since otherwise the Editor settings will not be correctly applied to

the MOX6/MOX8.

3. Start recording to the Cubase MIDI track.

For details about this operation, see the Cubase manual.

Simply play the MOX6/MOX8 following the Cubase tempo click or the sound of another audio track.

IMPORTANT

If you want to monitor the already recorded MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST track (MIDI track) during recording, you should

convert the MIDI track data to audio data beforehand. Otherwise, playback of your recorded performance may not be

synchronized with playback of the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST track.

Tips

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST Owner’s Manual

4. Play back the recorded data.

Make the following settings then listen to the playback sound through the Cubase mixer. You can

enhance the sound by applying EQ or effects to the Editor VST track (MIDI track). For detailed

instructions, refer to the Cubase manual.

On Cubase:

Set the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST instrument channel to “mute off.”

Set the Output Routing of the Editor VST track (MIDI track) to “1-MOX6/MOX8 VST.”

On the MOX6/MOX8:

Select the Quick Setup including the following settings on the MOX6/MOX8 or from the Editor VST.

On the Editor VST:

Set Arpeggio to “off.”

n When operating the Editor VST window, make sure to set the Output Routing of the Editor VST track (MIDI

track) to “Connected” on Cubase. Otherwise, the settings on the Editor VST will not be applied to the MOX6/

MOX8.

n Depending on the Arpeggio Type, different sound may be monitored compared with the one that you

monitored in step 3. In such a case occurs, edit the MIDI events as described in step 5.

5. Edit the MIDI events of the recorded Arpeggio.

On Cubase, select the MIDI track including the recorded events, then select [MIDI]  [Open Key Editor]

from the menu to call up the Key Editor window. On this window, edit the MIDI events of Arpeggio

playback. For details about the Key Editor window, see the Cubase manual.

MIDI echo back of Cubase and local control of the instrument

Cubase returns the MIDI events that received from the connected MIDI instrument simultaneously back

to the instrument. This is referred to as “Echo Back.”

However, this produces an undesirable “double” sound — that of the MIDI data coming from the

instrument keyboard and the same MIDI data being returned back from the computer. To prevent this,

the Local Control parameter should be set to “off.” In this situation, only MIDI data from the computer will

produce the sound.

Local Control is set on the [UTILITY]  [F6] MIDI  [SF2] SWITCH display or by selecting a Quick

Setup on the instrument. For details, see the MOX6/MOX8 Owner’s Manual.

Monitoring the instrument sound

When recording to Cubase, there are two methods of monitoring: Direct Monitor “on” and “off.” This

Direct Monitor parameter can be set on the [UTILITY]  [F5] USB I/O display or by selecting the Quick

Setup on the MOX6/MOX8. For details, see the Owner’s Manual of the MOX6/MOX8.

Direct Monitor on

With the Direct Monitor on, you can monitor the instrument sound directly from the instrument without

latency.

Direct Monitor off

With the Direct Monitor off, you can monitor the sound transmitted to the computer and returned back to

the instrument. This method lets you monitor the sound to which the volume level/effect/EQ parameters

have been applied on the Cubase mixer.

Troubleshooting

MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST Owner’s Manual

Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems such as no sound output or abnormal behavior, verify the connections before

checking the following.

Sound does not change when using the knobs or sliders.

• Is “ONLINE” indicated on the Editor window?

• Is the lamp at left of “ONLINE” indicator turned on?

If it is turned off, the settings related to communication between the MOX6/MOX8 and a computer may be

wrong. Check the MIDI Port setting (page 37) on the MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST, the MIDI IN/OUT parameter

setting in the MIDI display of the Utility mode on the MOX6/MOX8 instrument, or the cable connection

between the MOX6/MOX8 and the computer.

• Check the MIDI Port setting and Device No. setting (page 37).

Bulk data is not transmitted/received successfully.

• Check the same points as above such as “ONLINE” indication and MIDI Port settings.

The appropriate Port is not shown in the Setup window.

• The MIDI Port in the Setup window can be selected from the Ports specified in the Cubase series. Check the

MIDI Port settings in the Cubase series.

• When “!” is shown at left of the Port name (e.g., “! Yamaha USB IN 0-1”), this indicates that the previously

used Port cannot be found or some Ports are not set properly. Check the MIDI Port settings in the Cubase

series.

The sounds of the MOX6/MOX8 do not come to the Audio Mixer in the Cubase series.

• Set up the audio ports connected the MOX6/MOX8 in the VSTi Setup window (page 41).

The current audio ports do not appear when clicking the [AUTO] button in the VSTi

Setup window.

• Make sure to put checkmarks to the “Display” for the current audio ports in the “Devices” menu  “Device

Setup”  “VST audio system” in the Cubase series.

Cannot be set to ONLINE or “Port Open Error” is shown.

• Check whether or not the MOX6/MOX8 is connected to the computer properly, and check whether or not the

power of the MOX6/MOX8 is turned on.

• On Windows, quit any application software which may be using the MOX6/MOX8 Port. If the application

software closes unexpectedly without user input, restart the computer.

“Time Out Error” or “Communication Time Out Error” is shown.

• This message appears when the computer cannot get the response from the MOX6/MOX8 and another error

occurs. Check whether or not the Receive Bulk parameter and the MIDI In/Out parameter of the MOX6/

MOX8 are set properly in the Utility display called up via [UTILITY]  [F6]  [SF2] RcvBulk or [UTILITY] 

[F6]  [SF4] MIDI IN/OUT.

The MOX6/MOX8 Editor VST may be revised and updated without prior notice.
