What happens after 15GB is filled?

[orangeman]

I am a current PSR-SX900 owner considering moving to a Genos2. I've only installed 1 expansion pack and can't really visualize how it works once the 15GB is filled.

There are many posts saying not to worry because we have cheap memory sticks, which sounds great. I'm just wondering if that is a smooth process. Do we just keep going until we fill the 15GB and then the Genos2 knows to look elsewhere and it is seamless to the player or is there more involved?

Sorry if this is an elementary question, I'm just thinking ahead.

Thanks in advance.

There's a limit to expansion memory. On the G1, it's 3Gb. I assume the G2 is the same. The rest of User memory is for storage. So it's easily supplemented with USB sticks.

I mean, how does it work on your sx900? it only has a 4gb user drive and a 1GB flash drive. If you're worried about filling up 15gb, surely you've already filled up the 4G on your sx900?

Our display Genos 1, after 6 years on display, I've filled with hundreds of wavs and mp3s,as well as hundreds of registrations & thousands of styles. It's at just over 3GB filled.

Our display sx900 I've used up less than 20 mb, after 3 years on display.

But I save all the non-expansion date on USB sticks, because I need to be able to play /demo on any instrument.

But in all seriousness, whatever you're doing on your sx900 for storage, should definitely work on the Genos 2 with 4 x the amount of storage, and 3 x the amount of expansion space. (3gb vs 1gb on G1 and G2 vs sx900)

On an sx900 i can typically install 20-something packs ~25. On the G1/G2 that goes up to around 70, depending on the sizes of the packs.

Mark,
So true. Internal storage on SX900 is plenty for styles & registrations. The big disappointment is the 1GB expansion limit. I don't know why Yamaha couldn't put 3GB on the top tier SX900 considering the whole ecosystem has decent expansion offerings. 3GB on Genos2 would be a lot better but for over $5,000 I would expect even more.
