What is the MOX6/MOX8 Editor?
MOX6/MOX8 Editor 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.
You can use this MOX6/MOX8 Editor as a plug-in for the software below
• Studio Manager
• DAW application software compatible with Studio Connections
The MOX6/MOX8 Editor 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.
Studio Manager
Studio Manager V2 is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors for controlling
Yamaha hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings. You can run Studio Manager as a
stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW applications compatible with Studio Connections such
as Cubase or Cubase AI.
For more information, refer to the Studio Manager PDF manual.
Studio Connections
Studio Connections is a joint project begun by Steinberg and Yamaha.
Music production systems now increasingly rely on both software and
hardware, and there is a pressing need for closer integration between the
two. Studio Connections provides a comprehensive and seamless music
production environment — making the use of hardware and software both
easier and much more efficient. The following functions are available in
Studio Connections.
Recall
With the Recall function, all settings in each Editor can be saved within Studio Manager, and then called up
again when needed. This enables you to recall all the settings of multiple devices from Studio Manager and
control the entire system easily, instantly and automatically.
Recall is especially convenient when used with a DAW application compatible with Studio Connections. This
lets you save the Editor data directly to the project file of the DAW letting you recall all necessary hardware
settings automatically by simply opening the project file.
When executing the Recall function in the Studio Manager, the parameter settings of either device (MOX6/MOX8 or
DAW software on a computer) are synchronized with the other. You can determine which device (MOX6/MOX8 or
DAW software) is regarded as the master of the parameter settings by setting the Auto Sync Setting (page 36).
About Open Plug-in Technology
MOX6/MOX8 Editor Owner’s Manual

Audio Integration
Plug-in software such as software synthesizers and software samplers are exceptionally convenient in that
they let you easily change the various settings and parameters within the host application. However, control
over hardware is not so easy — with the need for various setups such as audio connections, driver settings
and MIDI port connections.
By using a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, you can control the external hardware synthesizer
within the application, without the need to set up complex connections within a DAW software application —
just as easily and conveniently as you would with plug-in software. The Audio Integration function makes all
this possible. For details about Recall and Audio Integration, visit our web site at:
http://www.studioconnections.org/
About Open Plug-in Technology
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a software format that enables you to control MIDI devices from a music
DAW application software. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music
system, such as voice editors of the synthesizer and mixing control editors — directly from an OPT-
compatible software, without having to use each separately. OPT also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI
drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more
convenient and seamless.
In addition to the original OPT, Open Plug-in Technology Version 2 (OPT 2), designed for Studio Connections,
is also available. The host application Studio Manager supports OPT 2.
About the OPT 2 Overview
OPT 2 is a plug-in format that enhances OPT Level 1 (Panels) and adds some convenient
functions for Studio Connections.
Plug-in software compatible with OPT 2 is indirectly
connected to the DAW application compatible with
Studio Connection, via the Studio Manager.

Data Structure of the MOX6/MOX8 Editor
MOX6/MOX8 Editor Owner’s Manual

Data Structure of the MOX6/MOX8 Editor
The MOX6/MOX8 Editor 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 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 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 17 and 25).
The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the MOX6/MOX8 Editor, 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 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.

An Example of MOX6/MOX8 Editor in Use
There is no single way to use the many components in the MOX6/MOX8 Editor. 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. 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 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 35.
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.

If you are not, please refer to the owner’s manual which came with your Windows/Mac software before using the MOX6/MOX8 Editor. For information about hardware requirements, the interconnection of devices and the installation of the MOX6/MOX8 Editor software, refer to the separate Installation Manual as well as the Owner’s Manual for the respective MIDI device. © 2011 Yamaha Corporation. All rights reserved. MOX6/MOX8 Editor Owner’s Manual 1 What is the MOX6/MOX8 Editor? What is the MOX6/MOX8 Editor? MOX6/MOX8 Editor 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. You can use this MOX6/MOX8 Editor as a plug-in for the software below • Studio Manager • DAW application software compatible with Studio Connections The MOX6/MOX8 Editor 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. Studio Manager Studio Manager V2 is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors for controlling Yamaha hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings. You can run Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW applications compatible with Studio Connections such as Cubase or Cubase AI. For more information, refer to the Studio Manager PDF manual. Studio Connections Studio Connections is a joint project begun by Steinberg and Yamaha. Music production systems now increasingly rely on both software and hardware, and there is a pressing need for closer integration between the two. Studio Connections provides a comprehensive and seamless music production environment — making the use of hardware and software both easier and much more efficient. The following functions are available in Studio Connections. Recall With the Recall function, all settings in each Editor can be saved within Studio Manager, and then called up again when needed. This enables you to recall all the settings of multiple devices from Studio Manager and control the entire system easily, instantly and automatically. When executing the Recall function in the Studio Manager, the parameter settings of either device (MOX6/MOX8 or DAW software on a computer) are synchronized with the other. You can determine which device (MOX6/MOX8 or DAW software) is regarded as the master of the parameter settings by setting the Auto Sync Setting (page 36). Recall is especially convenient when used with a DAW application compatible with Studio Connections. This lets you save the Editor data directly to the project file of the DAW letting you recall all necessary hardware settings automatically by simply opening the project file. MOX6/MOX8 Editor Owner’s Manual 2 About Open Plug-in Technology Audio Integration Plug-in software such as software synthesizers and software samplers are exceptionally convenient in that they let you easily change the various settings and parameters within the host application. However, control over hardware is not so easy — with the need for various setups such as audio connections, driver settings and MIDI port connections. By using a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, you can control the external hardware synthesizer within the application, without the need to set up complex connections within a DAW software application — just as easily and conveniently as you would with plug-in software. The Audio Integration function makes all this possible. For details about Recall and Audio Integration, visit our web site at: http://www.studioconnections.org/ About Open Plug-in Technology Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a software format that enables you to control MIDI devices from a music DAW application software. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music system, such as voice editors of the synthesizer and mixing control editors — directly from an OPTcompatible software, without having to use each separately. OPT also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless. In addition to the original OPT, Open Plug-in Technology Version 2 (OPT 2), designed for Studio Connections, is also available. The host application Studio Manager supports OPT 2. About the OPT 2 Overview OPT 2 is a plug-in format that enhances OPT Level 1 (Panels) and adds some convenient functions for Studio Connections. Editor Host Application Studio Manager OPT 2 Editor Plug-in software compatible with OPT 2 is indirectly connected to the DAW application compatible with Studio Connection, via the Studio Manager. Editor MOX6/MOX8 Editor Owner’s Manual 3 Data Structure of the MOX6/MOX8 Editor Data Structure of the MOX6/MOX8 Editor The MOX6/MOX8 Editor 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 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 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 17 and 25). The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the MOX6/MOX8 Editor, the structure of the data stored in the internal memory of the MOX6/MOX8 instrument and the relationship between those two types of data.

MOX6/MOX8 Editor Owner’s Manual 46 Auto Sync window This window is used for changing the status of the Editor from “OFFLINE” to “ONLINE.” While editing a parameter on the Editor affects the same parameter on the MOX6/MOX8 instrument and vice versa in the Online status, you can disable the “mirroring” of parameter changes between the devices by switching to Offline status. The Auto Sync window can be called up by clicking “OFFLINE” on the Editor window when the Editor is in the Offline status. The Auto Sync window can also be called up automatically (without clicking “OFFLINE”) under the following circumstances: • When opening a file. • When creating a new file by selecting “New” under the File menu. • When changing the mode on the Editor in the Online status of the Editor. • When changing the mode on the MOX6/MOX8 instrument in the Online status of the Editor. • When the connection between the MOX6/MOX8 and a computer are corrected after appropriately correcting the setup of the MOX6/MOX8 and the computer. • When the settings on the MOX6/MOX8 instrument and the computer are corrected after appropriately reconnecting the devices. n If the Auto Start parameter is set to “On” in the Auto Sync window, data synchronization may be started automatically as soon as the Auto Sync window is opened in certain conditions. For details, see page 36. On the Auto Sync window, set the Data Port properly then click [Start] button to execute data synchronization. As soon as the data synchronization is completed, the Auto Sync window is closed then the OFFLINE indication changes to ONLINE automatically. 1 3 4 2 5 6 7 8 1 [X] (Close) button Click this to close this window without executing data synchronization. 2 [Detail] button 3 Port 4 Device No. 5 Auto Sync Setting These parameters are same as in the Setup window.

MOX6/MOX8 Editor Owner’s Manual 47 Troubleshooting 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 35) on the MOX6/MOX8 Editor, 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 35) 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 host application. 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 host application. 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 may be revised and updated without prior notice.
