Hey Scott

6/8 seems to be pretty much the norm from what I've seen on different instruments including home organs. Yes, the fast 6/8 meaning 2 beats per measure is what I relate to the most. As a matter of fact, when I first saw styles listed as 12/8 I was wondering what I was going to be hearing. As a former drummer I also thought of it as 6/8. Is one more right than the other? Good question.

I learned as a kid that fast 6/8 is 2 beats a measure ( 2 sets of eighth note triplets) and slow 6/8 is 6 beats each eighth note getting the count played typically more slowly. As far as how Yamaha counts it off in the window, I never really looked, just go by feel.

My 2 Deutsche Marks worth.
