I have a Moxf8. I use my keyboard during my live shows. I have created a performance lets say bass guitar on left and strings on right. Split at C3. Also the arp is being used on the bass part only. I need a count-off, during live shows to get the drummer and guitar player, along with myself, at the right tempo. I have tried using song/pattern and I cant seem to get a count off while also keeping the settings like I have during performance mode. Count-offs during recording to song/pattern is fine. When I click onto song/pattern mode during live play I only hear whatever track happens to be selected.

I need the count-off desperately. Hope I have given enough information.

You want to COPY your Performance to either a Song or Pattern MIXING setup.

Find an empty Song or Pattern
Press [MIXING]
Press [JOB]
Press [F3] COPY
Press [SF3] PERFORM
Set the Performance you wish to COPY to MIXING
Mark the attributes you want to Copy
Press [ENTER]

This will place the Parts of the Performance into the MIXING assigned to one MIDI channel.
You will be able to use the count-in
And you will be able to play all the Parts simultaneously

Recording, however, is not possible. (But that doesn’t seem to be your goal, anyway).

In perform mode I have bass guitar on left and keys on right. Plus I have created an arp. I can start the arp and using the settings I described earlier it does wonderful. I know how to create a song and pattern. What I need is a 2 measure count in using probably a hi-hat sound. Not the click that is used for recording. In song mode or pattern mode it seems I have to record an actual song or pattern that plays back. I want to be able to have the flexibility of changing chords myself instead of having a whole song that just plays. In perform mode the arp and my settings work fine but in order to get the guitar player and drummer going I need that two measure count in. How do I achieve that? I hope I explained it better this time.

We showed you how you can COPY your Performance to a Song Mixing… this allows you to play both Parts split on the Keyboard.
Part 1 Bass with Arp
Part 2 Organ
In the Song on a Track assigned to a Drum Part, record a 2-measure Song using the hihat or whatever sound is appropriate.

On stage, when you push PLAY the “song” will be your hihat count-off… Just 2-measures in length, that’s it.
Don’t put the sequencer in record, just playback your pre-recorded hihat count-in at the Tempo stored for this Song.
