AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2)
This instrument is equipped with a AWM2 tone generator block. AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis
system based on sampled waves (sound material), and is used in many Yamaha synthesizers. For extra realism,
each AWM2 Voice uses multiple samples of a real instrument’s waveform. Furthermore, a wide variety of
parameters—envelope generator, filter, modulation, and others—can be applied.

Voice
A program that contains the sonic elements for generating a specific musical instrument sound is
referred to as a “Voice.” Internally, there are two Voice types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal
Voices are mainly pitched musical instrument type sounds that can be played over the range of the
Appendix
MIDI
keyboard. Each Voice consists of up to eight Elements (Normal Voice) or up to 73 keys (Drum Voice). An
Element or Drum Key is the basic and the smallest unit for a Voice. This means that only one Element or
key can produce a musical instrument sound. In addition, a Normal Voice can produce even more
realistic sound or various types of sound by combining multiple Elements. Each Voice is created by
editing parameters unique to each Element/Key (Element Edit parameters/Key Edit parameters) and
parameters common to all the Elements/Keys (Common Edit parameters).
NOTE For instructions on editing a Normal Voice, see page 30. For instructions on editing a Drum Voice, see page
47.
Normal Voices and Drum Voices
Normal Voices
This is a Voice which is played conventionally from
the keyboard, with standard pitches sounding for
each key. A Normal Voice consists of up to eight
Elements. Depending on the settings in the Voice

Element 3
Element 5
Velocity
Edit mode, these Elements are sounded
simultaneously, or different Elements are sounded
according to the note range, velocity range and
the XA (Expanded Articulation) settings. The illustration is an example of a Normal Voice. Since the six
Elements here are distributed across both the note range of the keyboard and the velocity range, a
different Element sounds depending on which note you play and how strongly you play it. In the velocity
distribution, Elements 1, 3 and 5 sound when playing the keyboard softly, while Elements 2, 4 and 6
sound when playing it strongly. In the note distribution, Elements 1 and 2 sound in the lower range of the
keyboard, Elements 3 and 4 sound in the middle range, and Elements 5 and 6 sound in the higher
range. In the velocity distribution, Elements 1, 3 and 5 sound when playing the keyboard softly, while
Elements 2, 4 and 6 sound when playing it strongly. In a practical example of this in use, a piano Voice
could be composed of six different samples. Elements 1, 3 and 5 would be the sounds of the piano
played softly, over the respective note ranges, while Elements 2, 4 and 6 would be strongly played
sounds, for each respective note range. Actually, the MOX6/MOX8 is even more flexible than this, since
it allows up to eight independent Elements.

Basic Structure
Drum Voices
Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard.
Unlike Elements, a Drum key is equivalent to the corresponding note, meaning that you cannot change
its range. Drum or percussion sounds are assigned to each Drum Key. You can create various types of
Drum Voices by changing the drum or percussion sound assigned to each key and edit the parameters

envelope of a previous note on to the next one. However, this results in an unnatural sound different from
that of an actual acoustic instrument. The MOX6/MOX8 more accurately reproduces a legato effect by
allowing specific Elements to be sounded when playing legato and other Elements to be played
normally (with the XA Control parameter settings “normal” and “legato”).
Appendix
MIDI
Authentic note release sound
Conventional synthesizers cannot adequately produce the sounds of notes on acoustic instruments
being released. The MOX6/MOX8 reproduces these special, characteristic sounds by setting the XA
Control parameter of certain Elements to “keyOffSound.”
Subtle sound variations for each note played
Conventional synthesizers attempt to reproduce this by randomly changing the pitch and/or filter.
However, this produces an electronic effect and is different from the real sound changes on an acoustic
instrument. The MOX6/MOX8 more accurately reproduces these subtle sound variations by using the
XA Control parameter settings “waveCycle” and “waveRandom.”
Switching among different sounds to recreate the natural performance on an
acoustic instrument
Acoustic instruments have their own unique characteristics—even specific, unique sounds that are
produced only at certain times in a performance. These include the flutter tonguing on a flute or the
playing of high harmonics on an acoustic guitar. Conventional synthesizers (before the MOTIF XS
series) could realize such sounds, for example, by triggering them through high (strong) velocity. The
MOX6/MOX8 recreates these by allowing you to switch between the sounds while you play—using the
ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1]/[2] buttons and the XA Control parameter settings, “AF1 On,” “AF2 On”
and “all AF off.”
NOTE You can turn the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION [1]/[2] button on or off also by transmitting the Control Change
number specified as “AF1”/”AF2” (page 146) in the Utility CTL ASN display from an external device.
New sounds and new styles of playing
The highly versatile functions above can be applied effectively not only to acoustic sounds but also to
synthesizer and electronic Voices as well. The XA feature opens up enormous potential for realizing
authentic sounds, performing expressively and coming up with creative new styles of playing.

Elements and Drum Keys
Functional blocks
Elements and Drum Keys are the smallest “building blocks” in the MOX6/MOX8 that comprise a Voice;
in fact, only one Element or one Drum Key could be used to create a Voice. These small sound units can
be built, enhanced and processed by a variety of traditional synthesizer parameters, such as Oscillator,
Pitch, Filter, Amplitude, and LFO (shown below).

Oscillator
File mode
This unit outputs the wave which determines the basic pitch. You can assign the waveform (or basic
sound material) to each Element of a Normal Voice or each Key of a Drum Voice. In the case of a Normal
Voice, you can set the note range for the Element (the range of notes on the keyboard over which the
Element will sound) as well as the velocity response (the range of note velocities within which the
Appendix
MIDI
Element will sound). In addition, the XA related parameters of this unit can be set. Each waveform
consists of sample(s) created by recording the sound of the actual instrument and assigning
appropriate keyboard and velocity settings. Oscillator related parameters can be set in the Oscillator
display (pages 38 and 48).
Pitch
This unit controls the pitch of the sound (wave) output from the Oscillator. In the case of a Normal Voice,
you can detune separate Elements, apply Pitch Scaling and so on. Also, by setting the PEG (Pitch
Envelope Generator), you can control how the pitch changes over time. Pitch related parameters can be
set in the PITCH display (page 39) of the Voice Element Edit. Note that the Pitch related parameters of a
Drum Voice can be set in the PITCH display (page 49) of Drum Voice Key Edit.
Filter
This unit modifies the tone of the sound output from Pitch by cutting the output of a specific frequency
portion of the sound. Also, by setting the FEG (Filter Envelope Generator), you can control how the
Cutoff Frequency of the Filter changes over time. Filter related parameters can be set in the FILTER
display (pages 41 and 50) of Voice Element Edit or Drum Voice Key Edit.
Amplitude
This unit controls the output level (amplitude) of the sound output from the Filter block. The signals are
then sent at this level to the Effect block. Also, by setting the AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator), you
can control how the volume changes over time. Amplitude related parameters can be set in the AMP
display (pages 43 and 50) of Voice Element Edit or Drum Voice Key Edit.
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
As its name suggests, the LFO produces a wave of a low frequency. These waves can be used to vary
the pitch, filter or amplitude of each Element to create effects such as vibrato, wah and tremolo. LFO
can be set independently for each Element; it can also be set globally for all Elements. LFO related
parameters can be set in the LFO display (pages 33 and 45) of Voice Common Edit or Voice Element
Edit.

In these modes, multiple Parts are provided and different Voices and different melodies or phrases can
be played back for each Part. A MIDI tone generator that simultaneously receives over multiple MIDI
channels and plays multiple instrument Parts is referred to as a “multi-timbral” tone generator. The
settings for the multi-timbral tone generator are collectively referred to as a “Mixing.” You can use the
Mixing when playing the MOX6/MOX8 sounds by using an external MIDI sequencer as well as using the
sequencer block of the instrument. In this case, you should use the Mixing of the Song or Pattern that
does not contain any sequence data.
About Mixing
A program in which multiple Voices are assigned to Parts for multi-timbral play in the Song and Pattern
modes is referred to as a “Mixing.” Each Mixing can contain up to 16 parts. Each Mixing can be created
by editing parameters unique to each Part and parameters common to all Parts in the Mixing mode
(page 114).
Also, one Mixing has up to sixteen memory locations for saving Normal Voices. These Voices which are
saved are called Mixing Voices. Normally, the Voice stored in the Voice mode is assigned to each

About Patterns
In the MOX6/MOX8, the term “Pattern” refers to a relatively short musical or rhythmic Phrase—1 to 256
measures—which is used for looped playback. Therefore, once Pattern playback starts, it continues
until you press the [J] (Stop) button.
Section
Patterns are more than just a single Phrase—they include 16 variations called “Sections.” These
Sections can be changed during playback and used as rhythmic/backing variations for the various
parts of a Song. For example, you could use one Section for the verse, another for the chorus, and a
third for the bridge. The Pattern related settings such as tempo and Mixing do not change even when
the Section is switched, keeping the overall playback consistent in feel and rhythm through the
changes. You can use the Section function as a convenient compositional tool, instantly creating the
backing Pattern variations for a Song, such as melody A, melody B, and main theme. For instructions on
changing Patterns and Sections, see the MOX6/MOX8 Owner’s Manual.

MIDI Tracks and Mixing settings
MIDI Tracks are created by recording your keyboard performance in the Song Record mode/Pattern
Record mode. MIDI sequence data is recorded to the MIDI Track and the Normal Voice or Drum Voice is
assigned to the Mixing part corresponding to the Track. To edit the Mixing parameters such as Voice,
volume and pan for each Track, press the [MIXING] button to enter the Mixing mode (page 114), then
edit them for the Mixing Part corresponding to the desired Track. Note that Track 1 does not always
correspond to Mixing Part 1. As illustrated below, each Track of the Song sequence data and each
Mixing Part of the tone generator block are connected when the output channel (TxCH) equals the
receive channel (RcvCH). In other words, the sequence data of each Track plays the corresponding
Parts (those having the same MIDI channel assignment) in the tone generator block. The Transmit
Channels of each Track can be set in the TRACK display (page 78) of the Song mode or Pattern mode
while the Receive Channels of each Part can be set in the VOICE display (page 117) of Mixing Edit.

Mega Voices and Mega Voice Arpeggios
Functional blocks
Normal Voices use velocity switching to make the sound quality and/or level of a Voice change according to how
strongly or softly you play the keyboard—giving greater authenticity and natural response to these Voices.
However Mega Voices have a very complex structure with many different layers that is not suitable for playing
manually. Mega Voices were developed specifically to be played by Mega Voice arpeggios to produce
incredibly realistic results. You should always use Mega Voices with Mega Voice Arpeggios (included in “GtMG”
and “BaMG” category). For details regarding the Mega Voice Arpeggios, see the “Voice Type” of the “Arpeggio

Arpeggio Type Name
The Arpeggio Types are named according to certain rules and abbreviations. Once you understand these rules and
abbreviations, you’ll find it easy to browse through and select the desired Arpeggio Types.
Arpeggio type with “_ES” at the end of the type name (example: HipHop1_ES)
These Arpeggio types use the same multi Track Arpeggio architecture as the MOTIF ES. This ES type of
arpeggio has the following benefits: 1) These arpeggios can create complex notes and chords even
when triggered by one note. 2) The arpeggio closely follows the notes played on the keyboard (only in
the area where the arpeggio is assigned), allowing a good deal of harmonic freedom and the possibility
to “solo” using these arpeggios.
Arpeggio type with “_XS” at the end of the type name (example: Rock1_XS)
These Arpeggios use a newly developed chord recognition technology to determine what notes should
be played back by the Arpeggio. This XS type of arpeggio has the following benefits: 1) The arpeggios
respond only to an area on the keyboard where an XS type of arpeggio is assigned. Other areas of the
keyboard do not affect the chord recognition. This allows very natural keyboard playing across the
entire keyboard with arpeggio generated bass and backing parts. 2) The arpeggio will always play
harmonically correct parts. These are especially useful for bass and chordal backing parts.
MOX6/MOX8 Reference Manual
12
Arpeggio type with a normal name (example: UpOct1)
In addition to the above types, there are three playback types: the Arpeggios created for use of Normal
Voices and played back using only the played notes and their octave notes (page 15), the Arpeggios
created for use of Drum Voices (page 16), and Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events (page 16).

There are three main Arpeggio playback types as described below.
Arpeggios for Normal Voices
Arpeggio types (belonging to all categories except for DrPC and Cntr) created for use of Normal Voices
Appendix
MIDI
have the following three playback types.
Playback of played notes only
The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note(s) and octave notes.
Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played notes
These Arpeggio types have the several sequences each of which is suited for a certain chord type.
Even if you press only one note, the Arpeggio is played back using the programmed sequence—
meaning that notes other than the ones you play may be sounded. Pressing another note triggers a
transposed sequence using the pressed note as the new root note. Adding notes to those already held
changes the sequence accordingly. Arpeggios with this playback type have “_ES” at the end of the type
name.
Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played chord
These Arpeggio types created for use with Normal Voices are played back to match the chord type
determined by detecting the notes you play on the keyboard. Arpeggios with this playback type have
“_XS” at the end of the type name.
NOTE When the “KeyMode” parameter is set to “sort” or “sortdirect,” the same sequence is played back no matter
what order you play the notes. When the “KeyMode” parameter is set to “thru” or “thrudirect,” a different
sequence is played back depending on the order you play the notes.
NOTE Since these types are programmed for Normal Voices, using them with Drum Voices may not produce
musically appropriate results.

These arpeggio types are programmed primarily with Control Change and Pitch Bend data. They are
used to change the tone or pitch of the sound, rather than play specific notes. In fact, some types
contain no note data at all. When using a type of this category, set the “KeyMode” parameter to “direct,”
“thrudirect,” or “sortdirect.”
NOTE For the displays including the “KeyMode” parameters, see the PLAY FX display of the Arpeggio Edit for Voice

Tips for Arpeggio playback
Arpeggios not only provide inspiration and full rhythmic passages over which you can perform, they give you
quality MIDI data you can use in creating Songs, or fully formed backing parts to be used in your live
performances. For instructions on using Arpeggio, see the “Quick Guide” in the Owner’s Manual.

About the Vocoder Effect
MOX6/MOX8 features a Vocoder effect. Vocoder is a distinctive, “robot voice” effect which extracts the characteristic of
the microphone sound and adds it to the sound via your keyboard performance. The human voice consists of sounds
Functional blocks
Tone Generator block
generated from the vocal cords, and filtered by the throat, nose and mouth. These resonant sections have specific
A/D Input block
frequency characteristics and they function effectively as a filter, creating many formants (harmonic content). The
Sequencer block
Vocoder effect extracts the filter characteristics of the voice from the microphone input and recreates the vocal formants
Arpeggio block
by the use of multiple band pass filters. The machine-like ‘robot’ voice is created by passing the pitched sounds of

musical instruments (such as a synthesizer sound) through the filters. For instructions on using the Vocoder effect, see

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.

Edit buffer & User memory
The edit buffer is the memory location for edited data of these types: Voice, Performance, Master, Song
Mixing, and Pattern Mixing. Data edited in this location will be stored to the User Memory. In Voice/
Performance/Master/Mixing mode, the edit buffer is the memory location only for one program.
Therefore, if you select another Voice, Performance, Master, Song, or Pattern, the entire contents of the
Basic Structure
Functional blocks
Tone Generator block
A/D Input block
edit buffer will be rewritten with the newly selected Voice/Performance/Mixing data. Make sure to store
Sequencer block
any important data before selecting another Voice, etc. In Song/Pattern mode, the edit buffer for the

sequencer settings is the memory location for the entire programs of both modes (64 x 2). Therefore,
Controller block
even if you select another mode (Song mode or Pattern mode) or another Song or Pattern, the

sequence data of old Songs/Patterns will be kept. Make sure to store the sequence data before turning

off the power, because the kept sequence data will be lost when the power is turned off. If you store the
sequence data, all Song data and all Pattern data including the Mixing settings will be stored to User
memory.
Edit buffer and Recall buffer
If you’ve selected another Voice/Performance/Song/Pattern without storing the one you were editing,
you can recall your original edits, since the edit buffer’s contents are stored on backup memory. If

2 Determines which Effect units are copied
This convenient operation lets you copy Effect and Master EQ settings of a certain Voice assigned to a certain
Performance to the currently edited Performance. You can select Effect units to be copied from “Rev,” “Cho,” “MEQ,”
and “MFX.”
NOTE Even when each of the Reverb and Chorus is set to “on,” executing the Job does not copy the Send Level from the Voice to the
Performance. If you want to apply the same depth of the Reverb and Chorus as in the Voice mode to the copied Voice, manually
set the Reverb Send and Chorus Send in the OUTPUT display (page 66) of the Performance Part Edit to the same value as in
Voice Edit.

[F5] CLICK
performance data as it is played. This allows you to capture all the nuances of an actual performance. In Realtime
recording, the “Type” should be set to “replace,” “overdub,” or “punch.” With Step recording, you can compose your
performance by “writing” it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, step recording method—similar to writing

replace .............. You can use this method when you want to overwrite an already recorded Track with new data in real time. The
original data will be erased.
overdub ............. You can use this method when you want to add more data to a Track that already contains data. Previously
recorded data will be maintained.
punch ................ You can use this method when you want to overwrite data to a specified range of a Track that already contains
data. It allows you to overwrite the already recorded data from the starting point to the ending point (measure/
beat) that was specified before recording.
step.................... Use this method to enter notes manually one at a time.
NOTE When “punch” is selected, “Punch-in measure: beat” and “Punch-out measure : beat” appear in the display and should be set.
If you’ve set the Locate 1 and 2 points (Loc1, Loc2), the punch-in/out points can be set with a single button press. Move the

If the quantize value is 1/4 note, 8th note, 16th note, 32nd note:
A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the length of the specified quantize value. A setting of 50% produces exact timing and

If the quantize value is 1/4 note triplet, 8th note triplet, 16th note triplet:
A setting of 100% is equivalent to three times the length of the specified quantize value. A setting of 66% produces exact timing
and therefore no swing feel. Settings above 67% increase the amount of swing, with 83% being equivalent to a sextuplet delay.
If the quantize value is 8th note + 8th note triplet, 16th note + 16th note triplet:
A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the length of a 8th note or 16th note. A setting of 50% produces exact timing and
therefore no swing feel. Settings above 51% increase the amount of swing, with 66% being equivalent to a triplet delay.

the Knobs and Control Sliders. This makes it possible to control several Parts of the multi-timbral tone generator
simultaneously by a single keyboard or to control Voices of an external MIDI instrument over several different channels
in addition to the internal Voices of this synthesizer itself—letting you use the MOX6/MOX8 to effectively do the work of
several keyboards. There are two types of Master Edit displays: those for editing parameters common to all four Zones

When the selected Track is a MIDI Track, and the output destination of the MIDI Track is not VSTi,
the [INC]/[DEC] function is same as when “ProgramChangeMode” is set to “PC.” In other cases,
the [INC]/[DEC] function is same as when “ProgramChangeMode” is set to “remote.”
When the “DAW Select” is set to something other than “Cubase,” the “ProgramChangeMode” is always set to “PC.”
Inputting a Number Directly
The number [1] – [9] buttons work as the numeric keys 1 – 9 in Cubase. The number [10] works as the numeric key 0 on
Cubase. The number [14] works as the numeric key “.”, the number [15] works as the numeric key “-”, and the number
[16] works as the numeric key “+”. You can use these number buttons when inputting a parameter number directly or
switching the tool functions in Cubase.
AI KNOB functions
The [DATA] dial of the MOX6/MOX8 works as the AI KNOB.
The AI KNOB can control a desired parameter within the principal
window and plug-in software in Cubase, specified via the mouse
pointer (as long as the [LOCK] button and [JOG] button are turned off).
The [CATEGORY SEARCH] button works as the [JOG] button, and the

[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 MTCcapable 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
devices so that the MIDI clock from the DAW software/ external MIDI device is properly transmitted to the MOX6/MOX8 from the
DAW software/ external MIDI devices.
ClockOut
Determines whether MIDI clock (F8) messages will be transmitted via the MIDI OUT/USB terminal.
Settings: off, on
SeqCtrl (Sequencer Control)

Supplementary Information
Terminology in the File mode
File
The term “file” is used to define a collection of data stored on a USB flash memory device or a hard disk drive of a
computer. Just as with a computer, various data types such as Voice, Performance, Song and Pattern created on the
MOX6/MOX8 can be treated as a file and saved to a USB flash memory device. Each file has a file name and a file
extension.
File Name
Just as with a computer, you can assign the name to the file in the File mode. The file name can contain up to eight
alphabetical characters on the display of the MOX6/MOX8. Files having the same name cannot be saved in the same
directory.
Extension
The three letters following the file name (after the period) such as “.mid” and “.wav” are referred to as a file “extension.”
The extension indicates the type of file and cannot be changed by panel operations on the MOX6/MOX8. The file mode
of the MOX6/MOX8 supports six different extension types, according to the particular data.
File Size
This refers to the memory amount of the file. The file size is determined by the amount of data saved to the file. File sizes
are indicated in conventional computer terms by B (byte), KB (kilobyte), MB (megabyte) and GB (gigabyte). 1KB is
equivalent to 1024 bytes, 1MB is equivalent to 1024KB, and 1GB is equivalent to 1024MB.
Storage
Refers to a memory storage unit (such as a hard disk) to which the file is saved. This instrument can handle and mount
various USB flash memory devices connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal.
Directory (Dir)
This is an organizational feature on a data storage device (such as hard disk), allowing you to group data files together
according to type or application. Directories can be nested in hierarchical order for organizing data. In this regard, a
“directory” is equivalent to a folder as used on a computer. The File mode of the MOX6/MOX8 allows you to assign a
name to a directory just as with a file. Please note that the directory name does not contain an extension.
Hierarchical Structure (Tree Structure)
If you’ve saved a large number of files to memory or hard disk, you’ll want to organize those files into proper folders.
Also, if you have a large number of files and folders, you’ll want to organize those folders into a hierarchical structure,
where multiple folders are grouped into relevant ‘parent’ folders, and so on. The very top location for all your folders
(which is called up when you first open the memory location or hard disk) is called the “root directory.”
Changing the current directory (folder)
Root directory
Directory A
Directory C
Directory B
Directory D
Using the illustration above as an example, this shows you how to change the current directory. First, open the root
directory to find directories A and B. Next, open directory A to find directories C and D. Finally, open directory C to find
only the files saved in directory C. This allows you to call up folders nested down in the lower levels of the folder
hierarchy. To select a different directory higher up (for example, moving from directory C to directory B), first go to the

next highest level (directory A). Next, go up one more level (to the root directory). Now that both A and B are available,
open directory B. In this way you can move up or down as desired through the folder hierarchy.

Supplementary Information
Refers to the operation that enables an external memory device for use with the instrument. A USB flash memory device
is automatically mounted as soon as it is connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal on the rear panel of the MOX6/
MOX8. The reverse procedure (removing) is called “Unmount.”
Format
The operation of initializing a storage device (such as a hard disk) is referred to as “format.” The format operation erases
all data from the target memory device and is irreversible.
Save/Load
“Save” means that the data created on the MOX6/MOX8 is saved to the USB flash memory as a file, while “Store” means
that the data created on the MOX6/MOX8 is stored to internal memory. “Load” means that the file on the USB flash
memory is loaded to internal memory.
[F1] CONFIG (Configuration)
[SF1] CURRENT
Indicates the currently recognized USB flash memory device.
Status Free
Indicates the amount of free capacity for the currently recognized USB flash memory device.
Status Total
Indicates the amount of total memory for the currently recognized USB flash memory device.
[SF2] FORMAT
Formats the USB flash memory device connected to the instrument. Before you can use a new USB flash memory
device with the MOX6/MOX8, you will need to format it. For instructions on formatting, see page 159.
Volume Label
Determines the name of the Volume Label. The name can contain up to eleven characters, and is entered by using the
[DATA] dial and cursor [<]/[>] buttons. Pressing the [SF6] button calls up the character list for entering the name. For
detailed instructions on naming, see the “Basic Operation” of the Owner’s Manual.
