I love all the performance grooves built into the mox6. How can I get performance mode to play the chords I have from songs on my computer. That is, using Finale or Band in a Box both of which export to midi, I would like to feed those chord changes into the mox6 over any performance groove. The only way to change chords is to play them real time myself on the mox6, but I am no keyboard player really. |

You can import MIDI files only in Song or Pattern modes. Sorry. |

Then do you import a performance groove into the song mode to make this work the way I want? |

This is actually a MO-X question, right? We’re in the MO forum ;) OK, do you know how to record performances into songs and patterns already? That’s what you would do first. Then you would use the SMF import feature of the MOX to load your MIDI file into a track of the song/pattern. If you need detailed help with either of these, let us know. |

Sorry, MOX-6. If someone is able to move this thread there, please go ahead. Anyway, I do not know how to get a performance into song or then either send a midi file from my pc into the song. If there is link explaining both I would be happy to read it. Using cubase 6, biab, finale on windows 7. |

Although you are not a keyboard player, you will want to be able to learn to work with the MO-X arpeggiators. Rather than complicate everything by starting with something external to the MO-X, try to start with the MO-X and learn how you can (even with non-keyboard player skills) you can begin to make the guitar arpeggios work for you. If you are not afraid to learn some chords on the keyboard (eventually you will learn them anyway, why not start) - the powerful arps of the MO-X are as good an excuse as you are likely to come across :-) |

Yes, I get what you are saying. I can almost play two chords in row now. But not really what I want to be able to do. I do not get how to make this thing string changes together to make a song using those grooves the arpeggiator makes. |
