Mox 6 GM

[4partmusic]

I have made some progress with my MOX. I found the GM bank on the keyboard and have it set. I have selected MOX in midi controls and have loaded the INS file.  I can hear the music out of the keyboard itself and when I play  key it will start lights flashing on the arranger but no sound. What amI missing?

Thanks

You have to set the mox to send on midi channel 1 (on the whole keyboard)

You have to set LOCAL OFF on the mox too

I have an older model Yamaha MM6,
On both these keyboards the specs say that it has a GM 128 voice and 1 drum kit sound set
BUT, I set my varranger to XG and it works incredibly well with the yamaha styles, picking out the drums on channel 9 aswell!!
I dont have to set local keyboard to OFF, I would have thought that the no sound problem is because you haven;t selected to Yamaha USB option in the midi playback box

Just thinking, I wouldn't have thought you would have to select a GM setting to recieve the midi signal, I would have thought that it would be automatically selected.
Maybe do a factory reset on the keyboard and start from fresh

sorry, slight error, I would have thought that you would NOT have had to select GM

When you press START on vArranger...

Do you hear the drums from your Yamaha MOX?

[4partmusic]

No  drums just keyboard.  I have recieve channel set to 1 and Local off.  Do I need to be in voice or perform mode?

[Dan]

No. The keyboard should SEND on the channel 1, but receive on the 16 channels !
I don't know the mode to select (I think voice?), but you need to set it, to be able to play instruments on the 16 channels

[4partmusic]

Ok, I will try setting it on Omni for recieve channel and see if that helps.

Thanks,
