[SF2] SWITCH

BankSel (Bank Select)

This switch enables or disables Bank Select messages, both in transmission and reception. When this is set to “on,” this

synthesizer responds to incoming Bank Select messages, and it also transmits appropriate Bank Select messages

(when using the panel).

Settings:

off, on

PgmChange (Program Change)

This switch enables or disables Program Change messages, both in transmission and reception. When this is set to

“on,” this synthesizer responds to incoming Program Change messages, and it also transmits appropriate Program

Change messages (when using the panel).

Settings:

off, on

LocalCtrl (Local Control)

This determines whether or not the tone generator of the instrument responds to your keyboard playing. Normally, this

should be set to “on” — since you’ll want to hear the sound of the MOX6/MOX8 as you play it. Even if this is set to “off,”

the data will be transmitted via MIDI. Also, the internal tone generator block will respond to messages received via MIDI.

Settings:

off (disconnect), on (connect)

RcvBulk (Receive Bulk)

Determines whether or not Bulk Dump data can be received.

Settings:

protect (not received), on (received)

[SF3] SYNC (Synchronization)

From this display you can set various parameters related to MIDI clock and synchronization.

MIDI Sync

Determines whether Song/Pattern/Arpeggio playback will be synchronized to the instrument’s internal clock or an

external MIDI clock.

Settings:

internal, external, auto, MTC

internal..............................Synchronization to internal clock. You can use this setting when this tone generator is to be used

alone or as the master clock source for other equipment.

external.............................Synchronization to a MIDI clock received from an external MIDI instrument via MIDI. Use this setting

when the external sequencer is to be used as master.

auto...................................When MIDI clock is transmitted continuously from an external MIDI device or computer, the internal

clock of the MOX6/MOX8 is automatically disabled and the MOX6/MOX8 is synchronized with the
external clock. When MIDI clock is not transmitted from the external MIDI device or computer, the
internal clock of the MOX6/MOX8 continues to run in sync with the latest received tempo of the
external MIDI device or computer (DAW software). This setting is useful when you wish to alternate
between external clock and internal clock.

MTC (MIDI Time Code) ....Synchronization to an MTC signal received via MIDI. MMC signals are transmitted via MIDI. Use this

setting when this synthesizer is to be used as a MIDI slave, such as when synchronized to an MTC-
capable MTR. The MTC Sync function is available only in the Song mode.

NOTE

When MIDI Sync is set to “MTC,” Songs and Arpeggios cannot play back in the Song mode but Patterns and Arpeggios can

play back in the Pattern mode.

NOTE

MTC (MIDI Time Code) allows simultaneous synchronization of multiple audio devices via standard MIDI cables. It includes data

corresponding to hours, minutes, seconds, and frames. The MOX6/MOX8 does not transmit MTC.

NOTE

MMC (MIDI Machine Control) allows remote control of multi Track recorders, MIDI sequencers, etc. A MMC-compatible multi

Track recorder, for example, will automatically respond to start, stop, fast forward, and fast reverse operations performed on the

controlling sequencer, thus keeping playback of the sequencer and multi Track recorder aligned.

NOTE

When setting the MOX6/MOX8 so that Arpeggio playback is synchronized to an external MIDI clock, make sure to set the
