Hello,
First time posting here.  I recently purchased a MOX 6 and I intend to use it with Cakewalk Sonar 8.5 as I do with other synthns that I have (including a Yamaha MO6).  As I understand it, the MOX uses the same patch structure as the Motif XS.  I have tried to load up the Motif XS instrument definition file into Sonar and all the patches do indeed show up but when i try to change the patches on the MOX from within Sonar, the MOX will only switch to patches contained in the PRE1 bank.  I have compared the instrument definitions from the MO6 (which I made using the Motif XS file as a template) and the structure looks exactly the same, except for the patch names of course.  Is there a step i have overlooked that will enable bank selection as well as patch selecting from Sonar to MOX?  Thanks in advance.

Also… attached is the MO-6 / MO-8 instrument definition file that I created, should anyone have an interest.

There are Sonar Instrument Definitions for all the Yamaha synths. A properly prepared Instrument Definition will select the banks (not just PRE 1) so you have indeed missed something.

(the only thing about Instrument Definitions is they are only really useful for the PRESET1-PRESET8 and Drum Preset Voices… as the USER banks are subject to change depending on what is loaded into your instrument).

Sonar/Cakewalk Instrument Definitions

We will try to get this page updated with the S90XS/S70XS, MOX, Motif XF and MX by the weekend… stay tuned…

I was using the script some and it was working for me.

But I used one I found on the net.

i went back and loaded it up again and it worked fine using the Motif XS instrument defs.  I have not been able to fine ones specifically for the MOX 6 or the MO 6.  Others elsewhere in this forum suggested how I might create my own MO 6 instrument defs and I succeeded in doing so.  I will zip it and try to upload it again.

Thanks for the responses

Can you please point me to a location where I might download instrument definitions specifically or the MOX 6/8?  I have been using the Motif XS defs but, again, they are only choosing patches on the Pre #1 bank.  It seems to be intermittent and the problem may be on the software end but if I have the MOX defs, i can rule that out.

Thanks,

I’ll see if I can attach this one:

I found a few, I think this one is the best. It’s an xs script but I’m thinking the mox has identical layout.

Thanks so much Tacman.  I will give it a shot tonight.
