Hi,
Recently purchased a MODX8 and also own a MOXF8.
Loving the sounds and capabilities of this keyboard and it's LIGHTWEIGHT.
BUT Still having problems following the transfer/migration of Performances from MOXF to MODX format despite a reply from Bad Mister.
Please excuse my lack of tech knowledge as I am having trouble with "a new learning curve on a new instrument"- BUT I am an avid user /owner of Yamaha keyboards from DX& and CP70 days in the 80s:(
Basically in the majority of my performances on the MOXF I have usually use 3-4 voices spread about the keyboard some "voices" layered and others split using MOFX terminology.
E.g a Typical MOXF performance I used for various specific songs ( where limited to 4 parts/voices) using Part 1:- Acoustic Piano, Part 2:-a favourite Rhodes or Wurlie sound , Part 3:- a Hammond B3 sound, Part 4:- Brass/ Strings or Synth
If I was constructing a similar Performance on the MODX
1. Am I limited to 4 Parts as was in the case with the Moxf ? Or More on the MODX?
2. Can you please explain how to setup a similar performance as per above example on the MODX with step by step instructions?
3. I basically want to use the 4 sliders on the MODX to control volumes of my 4 parts ( or more parts if I am able to on the MODX and use parts 5-8) as per above example
- piano, rhodes, organ, brass/strings/synth for realtime mixing within a song sections e.g Verse, chorus etc in a live band performance
4.If I want to use e.g the better quality MODX CFX Pop/Rock piano to replace Studio Grand from Mofx as the CFX Pop/Rock piano has 3 active parts/elements 1,2 and 4 how does this relate or work with what I have been doing live on my Moxf? And how do I add the other 3 or more parts that I may require Rhodes,Organ , brass/strings
PS.I also own a Roland RD2000 keyboard and have created similar Song Performance set ups with it using sliders 1-8 controlling a combination of Internal and external sounds BUT find this keyboard too heavy and wide for many many stage setups and purchased the Yamaha MODX as a more lightweight master keyboard.
Hopefully someone out there doing the same thing ( with more technical knowledge than me) and upgrading to the MODX from MOXF can understand my questions and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Mark
