I just thought that I would post this to help others.  I connect the midi out on my dx7 keyboard through a midi cable to the midi in on my mm6. All sounds are generated by the mm6.  I can have whatever sound I want playing through each keyboard (ie organ on the mm6 and piano on the other keyboard at the same time).

From memory, the method is as follows:  On the mm6 just select the sound that you want the second keyboard to play and then press , user button, record button, select track one, play a note or two.  When you press stop the sound is assigned to user song 1 and will be heard when the second keyboard is played.

There are five user songs which means that 5 sounds can be instantly recalled on the second keyboard without having to go through the recording process.

At any time a new sound can be selected for the mm6.

This is how I use the mm6 as a sound module without a computer.

hope this helps.  (don’t tell Yamaha ;-) )

That good news.

wow this is cool...my master keyboard have 16 parts and MM6 have 8 tracks per song.Then, i can control 8 patches on MM6 per song.5 user songs so 40 patches...thanks for the info.And most of all my master keyboard will have different patches side by side with my MM6...THANKS again…

I haven’t tried it yet, Rocky, but it sounds like an excellent tip to overcome the annoyance that Yamaha purposely? crippled the MIDI IN on the MM6/MM8 to prevent it from being used as an additional Sound Module controlled from a Master Keyboard!

Well done!

Paul..MO6 + MM6…
