Pump up the volume for some serious orchestral sound! Moxf is pretty awesome sounding keyboard. With only a little work you can create big sounding voices. This Orchestra patch was created by combining different multilayered orchestra sounds and samples while loading it to moxf flash memory to make a one man orchestra voice with velocity layers that can be played live.
It is important to note that this is just a single voice patch (also called a part in yamaha language) not a performance setup. MOXF allows you to in fact layer 4 of such parts at the same time in a performance mode, but a single part (voice) as demonstrated here is actually enough to create a complex convincing sound with velocity layers, even round robins (You can have 8 layers per part). I previously tried to make similar Orchestral patch on Fantom G and FA08 and mostly failed for various reasons - largely due how clumsy the multisample editing on roland really was and roland Fantom (even the newest one) can have only 4 layers per part. On MOXF things are far easier with John Melas editors and you can easily get VST level of sound quality.
It may not be obvious from factory patches but MOXF has under the hood actually more processing power than it needs - which is a win situation once you decide to create your own deeply multi-sampled sound - you don't have to think too much about limitations as you have pretty good overhead in CPU. Good job Yamaha for not cutting corners there.
I played bits and pieces, some improv and this and that....I am not trained keyboard player so it is a bit bumpy. Also I was sitting "turkish" style on the same couch the moxf was on and that didn't help with my posture either.
