Add a keyboard to Expansion explorer without the physical keyboard

Hi
I have a SX920 connected to the Expansion explorer app and I want to try out the styles of the Genos2. But I don't have a Genos2 to connect to it.
Is there a way I can fall the app into thinking I have the physical keyboard so I can listen to the styles and voices ?

Thanks
Midi

hi Midi,
What you wish is not possible.
Yeah... wouldn't it be great if we could use Genos2 content on our cheaper keyboards?  ;D

The voices are physically on the keyboard. So you can't access them without the actual keyboard. That's why you have to do conversions when importing styles from another keyboard. The voices/ effects cannot be imported. Conversions work by selecting a similar or the nearest possible voice on your keyboard. That's why they are often not quite the same as on the original keyboard.

If you start Expansion Explorer in demo mode, you can listen to all styles (main A, B, C and D) and all voices that are available in any of the Yamaha expansion packs for SX720, 920 and genos 2. You don't need to connect the keyboard, so I guess the styles and voices are included as audio recordings in the program itself.

The Voices are not on the keyboard as I can use Expansion Explorer with out it being connected to the SX920. I can indeed listen to to everything in Demo mode. Even the Multipads and The Songs work.
