Hi Sunny,

Normally all packs <home made> for A3000 works in Genos; probably, if this person sale the pack, you must give him your n27 file.
Probably the packs for A5000 can have problems in Genos (YEM2.8.1.).

Regards!

Hi all,

As a "precaution" I would like to state again that there are special Genos versions of many of the free Yamaha Oriental Local Packs. See here under "Other Downloads":
>>> https://asia-latinamerica-mea.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/arranger_workstations/genos/downloads.html#product-tabs

If a certain Oriental Local Pack is not available as a Genos version, I recommend trying the corresponding PSR-A3000 version:
>>> https://asia-latinamerica-mea.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/arranger_workstations/psr-a3000/vse.html#product-tabs

All A5000 versions of the Oriental Local Packs can theoretically also be used for Genos. (All packs mentioned so far are in the unencrypted .ppf format.) However, it could be that new features were used in the A5000 versions that the Genos did not support so far (e.g. drum / SFX kits up to 128 notes or the new Portamento features).

Instrument sounds (voices) from any YEM compatible pack, logically, will load to Genos without problems, since most of them using totally new samples and doesn't need any access to internal waveform.

But....
In the case of the "oriental" packs, in most cases the styles aren't compatible with ANY other model!
This is because "oriental" keyboard styles using special oriental percussion & drums kits available ONLY on "oriental" versions.

Since this is a 3rd party expansion pack there is always the possibility that they use a custom "new" oriental  percussion & drums kit for the styles, so in this case YES even the styles will be 100% compatible, but you have to ask the creators...
