MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor Owner’s Manual 12 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Even when I click the triangular button at the right of VSTi Select/Input box in the Edit window, the VSTi plug-ins registered to the DAW software are not shown as expected. • The MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor may not properly recognize the VSTi registered in the DAW software. Select [File]  [VSTi Database]  [Full Scan] to search the VSTi information (page 11). The parameters set on the MOXF6/MOXF8 Remote Editor are not displayed on the MOXF6/MOXF8. • The display on the MOXF6/MOXF8 is based on the information sent from Cubase (see the illustration above). Start Cubase and select the corresponding VSTi within Cubase. Even when I change the VSTi on the DAW software such as Cubase, the Control Template on the MOXF6/MOXF8 does not change corresponding to the newly selected VSTi. • The VSTi-related information is obtained through the Extension software (see the illustration below). • Make sure that the VSTi name displayed on the DAW software is the same as the one shown in the VSTi Select/Input box (page 7).
