The sound engine on the MOXF6 is based on Yamaha's acclaimed AWM2 (with expanded articulation) architecture. So, if you want to make smooth filter changes it's essential to assign the filter to the mod wheel or to a control pedal. Unfortunately, the filter stepping issue we highlighted when we reviewed the MOX8 is still present and we attribute this to the dials being of the click-stepped type, rather than smoothly travelling pots. In addition, you can now press both knob control buttons together for quick access to part volume and pan in Performance mode and part volume in Mixing mode. These dials can also be mapped to the VST editor/Cubase AI (both included) or you can use them to control other DAW's when in DAW Remote mode. Like the MOX6, the MOXF6 has eight real-time dials for directly controlling 32 important sound parameters on the fly including the various filters, portamento, ADSR, volume, panning, EQ, effect levels and the arpeggiator. This is further compounded by the amount of button pressing involved during editing tasks and the sheer number of front panel options can also be a little overwhelming. Also, as it's monochrome it's hard to decipher one area of the screen from another and with lots of parameters to cram in, deep programming can be tiring.
