Yamaha MOXF6 specs
The MOXF6 brought the MOTIF XF's AWM2 engine with Expanded Articulation down to a 7.1 kg, 61-key semi-weighted instrument, with 741 MB of wave ROM and 1,152 preset voices. It is deliberately DAW-friendly: USB carries both MIDI and audio, and the panel remote-controls Cubase, SONAR, Logic and Digital Performer. A 16-track sequencer, 7,981 arpeggio types and eight assignable knobs made it a credible bridge between hardware and software workflows. It was succeeded by the MODX in 2018.
