Before anyone knocks the idea..I would say you can get very creative with this instrument, mixing it up..
I enjoyed this demo...keep an open mind. I Like the Drums in the performance creator toward the end..

I have an MOX6 here the past three months for evaluation and for future demos/clinics.

I like it a lot.

But, it isn't as flexible as an S910 for arranger duties...yes, it's cheaper, but the S910 is the better bang for the buck (and it's got speakers).

Ian since you have it at home now ..please if you have the time post a few very short demos such as things we might use with an arranger KB...
6/8 ballad, cha cha, polka, merengue, 8bt ballad, big band, etc ...why is it always funky stuff on these kb's..? I guess the Arps are a nice idea and sort of a suedo way to hae style play, but just too efficient for my needs..
I would like to hear what can be done on the Mox6 performance creator features as seen in this demo....you know my email if you want stay private should be easy to record on the fly as shown?..

No demos Donny...still working with it and also busy doing clinics with Tyros4.

You should be able to find one at any music store...they are pretty common.

I may be doing clinics in the spring with MOX6...not sure yet. Basically I have it for evaluation and that info goes right to Yamaha.

The Tyros4 is still the big ticket...still doing clinics/demos...it still has a great Wow! factor.

Evaluating for what purpose? It really is old technology (Motif XS) dressed up in new clothes, minus the sampler and 64 note poly instead of 128. And with USB audio - no mLan or digital available.

I would have thought Yamaha had all the evaluation it needed?

Unless there is another reason?

I love the MOX6...great instrument.

Don't you worry yourself in the slightest, Dennis...it's all under control...the one I have is little bit special...that's all I can say.

That's also why there will be no demos for Mr. Pesce.

I can assure you, no animals will be hurt during the evaluation.

Gee, you love a Yamaha instrument? Go figure hey??!!

Stephen Kay was looking to include Karma Software for the the MOX series as well as the XF/XS..there is certainly nothing much more that can be done with the hardware architecture..

Ian, I have owned the XS, XF S70XS...and tried the MOX in the shop...there is not much you can tell me I already don't know...and there certainly is no plug in arranger module coming...

Unless you can somehow configure Karma as a pseudo arranger but as Stephen Kay has repeatedly stated, Karma is nothing like an arranger.

However I believe he has modified Karma 3 (NOT available for the Kronos btw) to be able to use pseudo fills and ending Combis - but I do know that with Karma a computer is a 100% necessity, otherwise it won't run...got that from Stephen himself...

So no intrigue for me here...just a cursory (VERY) curiosity
