In the Performance/Song/Pattern mode, set the
output channel of the Audio signal for each part.
When the output setting for the audio signal ("Mode"
parameter) is set to "2StereoRec" in Step 1, you can change
the audio output channel for each part. In the Performance
mode, this parameter can be set in the [F4] USB I/O display
of Common Edit. In the Song/Pattern mode, this parameter
can be set in the [F4] USB I/O display of Mixing Common
Edit.
NOTE
In the Voice mode, the audio output channel is fixed to USB
1/2.
Setting up the DAW software on the computer
1
Set MIDI Thru to "on" on the DAW software.
By setting MIDI Thru to "on," the MIDI data generated by
playing the keyboard and transmitted to the computer will be
returned back to the MOX6/MOX8. As shown in the example
below, the MIDI data transmitted from the MOX6/MOX8 then
recorded to the computer via MIDI channel 1 will be returned
back from the computer to the MOX6/MOX8 via MIDI channel
3 according to the setting of the recording Track. As a result,
the tone generator of the MOX6/MOX8 will sound the MIDI
data generated by playing the keyboard as MIDI data from
channel 3.
