Here’s the Backstory :)

I need a 6/8 Drum ARP for some Songs in my upcoming Christmas Party gig.

I search Google, it leads to Motifator, there is a Thread where a Member asks if there is a List of all the ARP’s in the MOXF, a Reply of not needing one because there is a MOXF6/MOXF8 Editor that will list/organize ALL of the ARP’s, so that sounds GREAT, that’s EXACTLY what I need!!!!!!!

I go to the Yamaha site to download it, but I have OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra), and there is no download for it.

Therefore I have two simple questions: 

1) Is there a MOXF Editor for my OS?
2) If not, and to keep from having to go through 2,300 Drum Patterns, does anyone know where the 6/8 Drum Pattern ARP’s are located?  :)

Thanks,
Jerry

Hi, I’m currently using a previous version (1.6.6) of MOXF editor on High Sierra and it works (I get a warning at startup saying it is not optimized for my OS).
There is a new version (1.6.9) which can be downloaded and is compatible with newer OSes up to Catalina

1) Is there a MOXF Editor for my OS?

Yes. I don’t know where you looked, but here’s where MOXF firmware and software are…
https://usa.yamaha.com/support/updates/index.html?c=music_production&k=MOXF
...and the second item in the list is the Editor which covers 10.11. 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, and even 10.15 Catalina…

Read the Editor manual to learn how to search for Arps. Note that the Editor’s ARP LIBRARY doesn’t list time signatures, so searching for “6/8” will turn up Arps with that in the name, but may have 4/4 timing.

Alternatively, the PDF of the MOXF Data List can be searched. MOXF manuals are here…
https://usa.yamaha.com/products/contents/music_production/downloads/manuals/index.html?l=en&c=music_production&k=moxf
...and the Data List is the first one listed…
https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/2/330242/moxf6moxf8_en_dl_a0.pdf

Note that when searching, Time Signature listings in the Data List have spaces to either side of the forward slash, such as “6 / 8”, not “6/8”.

2) Regardless, THANKS to both of you!!!

you’re welcome!
The discussion was also useful to myself, as I didn’t know Yammy had published a Catalina - compliant version of the editor.
Have a nice gig!
