I am not sure how helpful this stuf will be for everyone but am pretty sure someone out there is desperate to get this done...so for that sake and to avoid anyone from going through sooo much pains that I went through am gonna elaborate on how to get audio outta MO...
MO6/8 are the line of synthesizers from Yamaha with pretty good features...It has one of the best sequencers I have seen...All said once you are done with sequencing a song you would want it to be transferred to your PC/MAC....Here is where you will have the problem...The USB interfaces in MO synthesizers are not capable of transferring audio data...The only output you can take out of the USB port is MIDI and that won't be good enough if you want the exact replica of what you sequenced on your keyboard...
The one main feature missing from MO that is present in MOTIF is resampling...In MOTIF you can resample your song or pattern to a wav file and tranfer it from the USB port....However I have found couple of work-arounds to get the exact song as it was sequenced to your computer...
First, you can record take the phones output and give it to the Line-In of your system...Using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) you can record the sequenced data from line in....The second option if you are not a fan of analog recording MO does have a digital output....Jus hook up a co-axial cable and plug it to the SPDIF Input of your sound card...But note not all the sound cards will have SPDIF In....
Worse is if you have a laptop, chances are the onboard sound card will not have a Line in....I had the same problem...How do u overcome...2 ways...One is buy an audio interface (M-audio has some pretty good ones for not so high a price)...or if u wanna notch it up a bit buy an external sound card..I bought an Audigy 2 NX and the recording below was through it...u have additional advantage of having a 5.1 DTS splitter in my case :)....
Happy recording....
