Control and Functions
Keyboard
The MOX8 features an 88-key keyboard, while the MOX6 has
61 keys. All are equipped with a touch response feature,
initial touch. With initial touch, the instrument senses how
strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses that playing
strength to affect the sound in various ways, depending on
the selected Voice.
Pitch Bend wheel
Controls the pitch bend effect. You can also assign other
functions to this controller.
Modulation wheel
Controls the modulation effect. You can also assign other
functions to this controller.
[MASTER VOLUME] slider (page 18)
Adjusts the volume of the overall sound. Move the slider
upwards to raise the output level from the OUTPUT [L/MONO]/
[R] jacks and the [PHONES] jack.
[DAW LEVEL] slider
Adjusts the volume of the audio signal input from the USB
[TO HOST] terminal.
A/D INPUT [GAIN] knob
Use this to adjust the input gain of the audio signals at the A/
D INPUT [L]/[R] jacks. Depending on the connected
microphone, you may need to adjust this for optimum level.
The volume level is increased as the knob is rotated to the
right and decreased as it is rotated to the left.
NOTE
Depending on the output level of the equipment connected to
the A/D INPUT [L]/[R] jacks, you should change the value of the
Mic/Line parameter in the [F1] GENERAL display of the Utility
mode. When the output level of the connected equipment (such
as a microphone, guitar, bass) is low, set this parameter to "mic."
When the output level of the connected equipment (such as a
synthesizer keyboard, CD player) is high, set this parameter to
"line."
A/D INPUT [ON/OFF] button
Switches whether or not this instrument accepts the audio
signal input via the A/D INPUT [L]/[R] jack.
[LEVEL] meter button
Selects the destination signal controlled via the [LEVEL]
meter, input signal via the A/D INPUT [L]/[R] jacks or output
signal via the OUTPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jack.
