What is the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor?

MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit/create Control Templates for the

MOXF6/MOXF8 Music Synthesizer. These Control Templates let you assign the appropriate functions for your

favorite VSTi to the Knobs on the MOXF6/MOXF8. While the MOXF6/MOXF8 handles up to 50 Control

Templates (in a single Bank), the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor can be used to create and organize multiple

Bank files, each of which contain 50 Control Templates. Data of a single Bank containing 50 Control

Templates created on the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor can be transferred from the computer to the

MOXF6/MOXF8 and saved to the computer as a single Bank file (.X6R).

Data structure of the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor

Within the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor, you can select a Bank file then edit each one of the 50 Control

Template contained in the selected Bank. After finishing your edits of the selected Bank (called “Current

Bank”), save the Bank data to a file by using the “Save” or “Save As…” menu. The Bank data saved to the file

can be recalled when starting the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor next time.

Refer to the illustration below to understand the data structure of the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor.

Operation flow from starting the application to

closing it

The MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor is a software contained in the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Tools. After

installing the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor and related applications by following the Installation Guide of

the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Tools, follow the instructions below. Before starting, make sure that the MOXF6/

MOXF8 is properly connected to the computer via a USB cable. There is no single way to use the many

components in the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote 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 MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote

Editor.

n For details about connection between the MOXF6/MOXF8 instrument and a computer, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the

MOXF6/MOXF8.

n On the MOXF6/MOXF8, press the [UTILITY] to enter the Utility mode, then press the [F6] MIDI followed by the [SF4]

OTHER. On this display, set the MIDI In/Out parameter to “USB,” then press the [STORE] button to store this Utility setting.

n After completing installation of the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor, start the DAW software once then quit it. This operation

is necessary to scan through the DAW software for obtaining the VSTi-related information. Only DAW software produced

by Steinberg (such as Cubase) can be scanned.

1. Start the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor with the following operations.

Windows

[Start] 

[All Programs]  [Yamaha MOXF6_MOXF8 Remote Editor] [MOXF6_MOXF8

Remote Editor]

Mac

[Applications] 

[Yamaha]  [MOXF6_MOXF8]  [MOXF6_MOXF8 Remote Editor]

The Auto Sync window appears and the settings of the 50 Control Templates on the MOXF6/MOXF8 are

transferred automatically to the Current Bank (page 9) of the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor.

Operation flow from starting the application to closing it

MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor Owner’s Manual

After transfer has been successfully completed, the Edit window appears.

n If data transfer in the Auto Sync window fails even when the MOXF6/MOXF8 and computer are connected

properly, make sure to set the MIDI In/Out parameter to “USB” and the Device Number parameter to “1” or “All”

in the Utility MIDI display on the MOXF6/MOXF8.

2.Select “Setup” from the [File] menu to call up the Setup window.

3.Confirm that the MIDI Port is set to “Yamaha MOXF6/MOXF8,” then select the desired

DAW software from the DAW Select column.

If the MOXF6/MOXF8 and the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor are connected properly via USB, you can

confirm that the MIDI Port is set to “Yamaha MOXF6/MOXF8” when the above window appears. The

DAW selection is necessary for performing the Scan operation (“VSTi Database” menu in the [File]

menu) and obtaining the VSTi-related information.

Operation flow from starting the application to closing it

MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor Owner’s Manual

4.Click [OK] to start the Scan operation.

The VSTi plug-ins registered to the specified DAW software will be scanned and the information

necessary for editing will be obtained.

After the scanning is completed, the previous display will appear. The setup of the MOXF6/MOXF8

Remote Editor is finished.

n If the VSTi scanning is not performed when you click [OK] in step 4, select [File]  [VSTi Database]  [Full

Scan] to execute scanning.

5.Start the DAW software (for example, Cubase).

6.Press the [DAW REMOTE] button on the MOXF6/MOXF8 instrument to enter the Remote

mode.

7. Select the Control Template, then edit the selected Control Template on the Edit window.

Perform the editing referring to the “

MOXF6/MOXF8

Remote Editor Window (

page 6

)” and “Menu (

page

).”

When the ONLINE status is turned on (when the MOXF6/MOXF8 and the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote

Editor are connected properly via USB), setting the parameters on the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor

affects the settings of the same parameters on the MOXF6/MOXF8 in real time. This gives you a

convenient and useful way to edit while actually controlling the VSTi.

n Make sure to execute the [STORE] (page 6) operation before turning off the MOXF6/MOXF8 instrument.

Otherwise the editied Template data in the instrument will be lost.

8.After your editing session is finished, select [File]  [Save] (or [Save As...]) to save the

bank to a file.

9.Click at the top left corner to quit the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor.

If the edited Bank data has not been saved yet, messages appear prompting you to save it. Save a Bank

file to quit the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor.

Troubleshooting

Even when I click the triangular button at the right of VSTi Select/Input box in the Edit

window, the VSTi plug-ins registered to the DAW software are not shown as expected.

• The MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor may not properly recognize the VSTi registered in the DAW

software. Select [File]  [VSTi Database]  [Full Scan] to search the VSTi information (page 11).

The parameters set on the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor are not displayed on the

MOXF6/MOXF8.

• The display on the MOXF6/MOXF8 is based on the information sent from Cubase (see the illustration

above). Start Cubase and select the corresponding VSTi within Cubase.

Even when I change the VSTi on the DAW software such as Cubase, the Control

Template on the MOXF6/MOXF8 does not change corresponding to the newly

selected VSTi.

• The VSTi-related information is obtained through the Extension software (see the illustration below).

Make sure that the latest MOXF6/MOXF8 Extension is installed.

• Make sure that the VSTi name displayed on the DAW software is the same as the one shown in the

VSTi Select/Input box (page 7).

Data transfer between the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor, MOXF6/MOXF8 and DAW software:

Turning the Knobs on the MOXF6/MOXF8 affects Remote parameters other than

those intended for control.

• In Cubase, remove the checkmarks of “ALL MIDI Inputs” corresponding to MIDI Ports 2 and 5 for the

MOXF6/MOXF8 instrument.

Even when I click the triangular button at the right of Control Parameter in the Edit

window, the appropriate Control Parameters are not shown.

• Make sure that the VSTi is correctly selected in the VSTi Select/Input box (page 7). If you have input

the VSTi name directly, make sure that the spelling is correct and the placement of spaces (if any) is

correct. We recommend that you select the VSTi by clicking the triangular button at the right of VSTi

Select/Input box, instead of inputting the VSTi name directly.

Even when I select another track on the DAW software, the VSTi to be controlled does

not change; instead, the VSTi which is assigned to the previously selected track

remains under control.

• When using Cubase, select [Editing]-[Project & Mixer] on the Preferences dialog, then checkmark
