Internal Memory - Yamaha MOX8 Reference Manual

Internal Memory

The MOX6/MOX8 creates a variety of different kinds of data, including Voice, Performance, Song, and Pattern. This
section describes how to maintain the various types of data and use the memory devices/media for storing them.

*1 The Mixing settings can be stored/recalled as a template in the Song Mixing Job/Pattern Mixing Job.
*2 You can convert the MIDI sequence data recorded in the Song Record/Pattern Record to Arpeggio data. This can be executed with the following
operations: [SONG]  [JOB]  [F5] Track  07: Put Track to Arpeggio or [PATTERN]  [JOB]  [F5] Track  07: Put Track to Arpeggio
Flash ROM
ROM (Read Only Memory) is memory designed specifically for reading out data, and as such data
cannot be written to it. Unlike conventional ROM, Flash ROM can be overwritten—allowing you to store
your own original data. The contents of Flash ROM are maintained even when the power is turned off.
DRAM
RAM (Random Access Memory) is memory designed specifically for data writing and data reading
operations. There are two different kinds of RAM, depending on the condition for storing the data: SRAM
(Static RAM) and DRAM (Dynamic RAM). The MOX6/MOX8 is equipped with only DRAM. Because data
contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, you should always store any data residing in
DRAM to the Flash ROM or a USB flash memory before turning off the power.
