When I use the MOXF6/8 VST Editor in Cubase Pro 9, my MOXF does not Auto Power Off because the “E” (Edit) icon is shown in the upper corner of the MOXF LCD.  I realize that while that “E” is present, the MOXF will NOT power down (even if the AUTO POWER OFF parameter is set to a number of minutes). If I close the VST Editor (and close Cubase) on my computer, the MOXF still remains in edit mode ("E" in upper corner) and won’t Auto OFF. 

Is there a way to get the MOXF to Auto Power Off after a Cubase MOXF VST Editor session has ended?  Thank you!

The [E] indicates that at least one Parameter of the currently selected Program (Voice, Performance, etc.) has been edited - it doesn’t specifically indicate that the MOXF is in Edit mode.

Selecting a different Program should cause the [E] to no longer be displayed. If certain Edit Buffer contents was the reason for Auto Power Off not shutting off the MOXF, it should then function.

There was a thread about this a few years ago, where we all confirmed that this appears to be a ‘feature’. ;-)
As long as the USB is connected and the PC at the other end is on, no auto power off.

Aha, I was worried the USB connection might be behind the no auto off.  I did previously search on the term “auto off” but didn’t see the old thread.  Anyway, thank you all for your insights.

It seemed you were aware of the USB issue, since in a post in this thread…

“I should note that because my MOXF is attached to my PC via USB, the Auto Power Off feature does not function.”

However, unsaved edits (indicated by [E] being displayed) will cause Auto Power Off to be defeated, even if the MOXF isn’t connected via USB.
