Using a Connected
Computer
By connecting the MOXF6/MOXF8 to your computer via
USB, you can use DAW software on the computer to create
your own original songs.
NOTE The acronym DAW (digital audio workstation) refers to music
software for recording, editing and mixing audio and MIDI data.
The main DAW applications are Cubase, Logic Pro, SONAR and
Digital Performer. Though all of these can be effectively used
with the MOXF6/MOXF8, we recommend using Cubase when
creating songs together with the instrument.
By connecting this instrument to a computer, you can take
advantage of the following functions and applications.
External tone generator for DAW software and MIDI
keyboard
Remote Controller of the DAW software
Editing parameters from the computer (MOXF6/MOXF8
Editor)

A USB cable and the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver are
necessary to connect the MOXF6/MOXF8 to the computer.
Follow the instructions below. Note that both audio data and
MIDI data can be transmitted through a USB cable.
