Viewing topic "Are MOX6 sounds mapped to only 61 keys or can I play then from an 88 weighted Keyboard?"

Hello,

I am considering purchasing a MOX6 to expand my sound choices for a cover band gig, and I am wondering if it is possible to play the MOX6’s sounds (pianos, eps) using an 88 key controller? Do the MOX6 and MOX8 have the same sound engine? Would I have to purchase the MOX8 to utilize the full range of presets?. With some great sales going on over Memorial Weekend, I am hoping I can find an answer to this question.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

If you use an 88 key controller, the MOX6 sounds will respond over the full 88-key range, just as they do on a MOX8.

ksounds,

Thanks for your quick reply. I am glad to hear that the sounds will respond over the full 88 key range. I would like to use the piano and ep sounds from the MOX6, but not have to purchase the larger and more expensive MOX8.

Thanks again,

Bill

Of course you can use the full keyboard range using an 88 keyboard controller to control the MOX 6 (MIDI allows you to address 128 notes)

But even on the MOX 6 you can address the full range using the octave up/down buttons on the front panel.

Even the MOX 8 has the octave buttons which is very rare to find on an 88 keyboard. (but very handy sometimes)

The MOX8 can address more than 88-keys with the octave up/down buttons? COOL! My decision is made then. MOX8 it is.
