Hi I understand that I can load sample data (.wav .aif) from USB flash memory to the expansion module. But what about the waveforms (key and velocity range mappings)? How do I prepare these? I’ve studied the MOXF Editor’s Manual and the MOXF Reference Manual, but it was not obvious to me. Can someone give me a hint where this information is buried? Is there a tutorial about this process?

You might find this support article helpful:
The article applies to the XS and XF (the MOXF has no sampler), but is useful from a standpoint of understanding concepts.
See this thread for an explanation of the MOXF’s limitations:

Thanks, 5pinDIN. I noticed B_M mentioning
which is good news. Will this be a Yamaha effort or third party software? The Tyros series, while not being a “real” sampler, allowed you to load your (looped) samples and build your own waveforms in the instrument. The new Tyros 5 obviously does not offer this feature, but it is rumored, that a Tyros 5 Waveform Editor is in the works by Yamaha :-) From my point of view it would make sense to have a common software supporting both product lines. Will this happen? Do the Yamaha Keyboard developers and the Synth developers share their technology? Just curious ;-) Michael |

A single common software supporting both products would not even be remotely possible. They are as different as apples and oranges. The new a Tyros 5 features VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) found in the MOXF and the FSX 61 and 76 keyboard action, both found in the Motif XF 6/7. |

John Melas’ Waveform Editor is what you’ll need. You’ll prep all you samples on your computer, put them on a USB stick, and bring them into the MOXF. Technically, the version you can buy today should work… it generates a Motif XF file which the MOXF should be able to read, but it’s possible that there may be some glitches in the process. John Melas is working on a version updated for MOXF that will support the instrument directly. |
