New Pack for Genos Free if you are quick

[EileenL]

Hi Manuel,
  I downloaded the pack for Genos to my account just as I always do. I then loaded into the latest version of YEM. Then together with my other Yamaha packs sent it wirelessly to my Genos. All my other packs worked as they should but as I said this pack when going to the voice parts showed things like Trumpets with Piano icons which I did not think was correct.

[alanclare]

The dreadful Yamaha web site did its usual tricks and sent me round seemingly endless loops - it happens every time - until more by luck than judgement I managed to hit on the right path to getting the pack, and more importantly, using the token code to avoid paying for it.

It didn't want to send me the zipped files for my s970 - it said that the pack is incompatible with that arranger - but it directed me to one for the s670 instead. The YEM was quite happy to accept that one, and it works beautifully. Thank you Eileen.

Same situation here using the identical workflow. In my case, the voice icons do not display a piano, instead the a yellow coloured text "PACK" is shown.

In my case all the icons are correct. The YEM reports that I have:
16 Normal Voices and 2 drums
20 Styles
54 Multi Pads
12 Registrations
and one song

Hi.
I did not imported this pack in my keyboard, yet.
But YEMCE shows these icons using Genos icons type option:

When I downloaded there was no option for the 770. The download contained  1 ppi and one ppf, both are for 775/975.  Is there a way to convert to 770? Thanks

The Icons in the Yamaha Expansion manager are as follow, those are to differentiate the file types, Voice, Style, Multipads, Registration, SMF.

Piano Icon = Voice file
2 notes with snare drum = Style file
2 Blue Squares = Registration bank file
4 small squares = Multipad file
2 notes      = Midi file.

Hi Sunny,
  This pack is for Genos and 975.
Maybe this is why it is not loading fully into Tyros 5.

[Tezwalker]

Hi I loaded the pack on my tyros 5. And I have same problem the voices due not load and the regs due not  work at all. The styles are not good as the voices are not there so all in all glad I did not pay for the pack

Thanks Eileen for the notification of the Caliente pack.

I was unable to download it as I could not process it correctly when I logged into my account. When I logged in it stated that there were no files for my Genos. I also had about 10 style files saved in a wish list and they had disappeared to. I tried to add files to the shopping cart but they wouldn't be accepted. I finally rang Yamaha and was helped by a member of staff who couldn't see why I was having problems. I disabled my virus scanner and malware programs but still couldn't get it to work. Cleared out the cache for all of my browsers and still no go. Tried on my mobile phone and also got my son to try on his computer but all failed. The gentleman from Yamaha put the file into my account which finally enabled me to get it.

Yamaha have a real problem here and probably wont sort it until they realise their sales are dropping on the Musicsoft site. I have purchased products from other websites without any problems.

Hi Murray,
  Pleased you are sorted. I did not have any trouble at all. Just signed into my account and then found the pack which said Genos to the side of the picture and downloaded it.

I've had so much trouble using this site I've given up trying to buy anything from this site.

[khudson7]

At first, I had a dreadful time getting this.  But then remembered I received an email about 6 months ago that said I needed to re-sign in to verify my account,because they were refreshing their accounts or some such nonsense, which I never did.  Since I never did that, when I logged in(first time in more than 6 months), everything for the Genos, came up with nothing found.  Not sure how exactly, I fixed it, but I think it was when I went into my profile and played around with it, saved, and then closed the website and re-logged in again...everything worked as normal and I found this file.  Go Figure...

Hi, log into your account, go to edit/change billing address. You will probably find some information missing, re-enter your info and save. then log out, in your browser clear your cache and cookies. Then log back in and all should be fine.

Hi Eileen, This free pack is also available  for Tyros5 download on the yamahamuiscsoft website, but not loading fully into Tyros5 . I am attaching the screen shot.Please clarify.

Thanks,
Sunny.

This is a bug on their site. Why? Simple. Please select your instrument as Tyros 5 and search for Caliente. The search result is 0. So no pack will show compatible for Tyros 5, neither Caliente or Caliente PSR. Yes, it loads on Tyros 5, but only some of the content, because the voices made for newer arrangers are different a little bit than old arrangers... I think you can try the PSR pack, and to load PSR S670 version.

To be honest ...

This is a crap add-on. These are supposed to be PREMIUM sounds and styles. They are absolutely absolutely not!  Poor sounds, not working correctly.
I think nothing but a MARKETING PLOY by Yamaha. Proper support non-existant. A major update of Musicsoft website and Yamaha 'mixed content quality' is LONG OVERDUE!

So far, best value for money I have found is from ..
Easysounds: Clearly proper time spent on programming, unlike many others.
John Beesley Key-Tab arrangements (expensive but good regs) Great and interesting NEW arrangements.

Pretenders I am NOT happy with ..
Soundpacks (Re-Re-Re Registrations of old songs we heard a million times
before) Don't seem interested in doing anything written this century. Need to get real. Registrations for T5 were ok, buy never followed through with a new registration set promise. A recent attempt at vocal addon multipadsounds very poor.

Not tried yet..

Very variable:
Yamaha Musicsoft. Midis all voiced with the same old Bontempi Saxophone from 1970's!
                                    Specific song Style files/maps are good/ok, thats about it!

Hi Vali ..

There are many bugs on the site.  Different users will get different results. The problem is mostly Cookie-handling and different browsers (Desktop and Mobile)
One can get differing results according to browser, cookies on system, and whether you are logged in or not.

All fault of Yamaha Musicsoft. They obviously dont care.

After trying for days to get the pack with no luck, I finally called Yamaha US.
To my surprise I was connected within 30 seconds.
The guy was super nice and helpful
He had me try a couple of things first. Nothing worked, so he rest my account.
Everything is running smooth again (except for loading time  )
I thanked him and said: "now I download the pack". He replied no worries I already added it to you account
Wow. What a great service.
I am a happy Genos camper again.

Hi Sunny,
  This pack is for Genos and 975.
Maybe this is why it is not loading fully into Tyros 5.

Even though I like all kinds of music I am with you on the Rock - Pop expansion pack.
I talked to Yamaha Music Soft US yesterday and asked if they plan to release any of those packs.
The guy was super nice (see my post above). He told me that the developing team is a different department and encouraged me to send an e-mail to Yamaha with my request.
I will definitely do that.
Maybe you can do the same. 
Maybe some others will join in. If they receive enough e-mails they might develop one ...
I will ad that I want a guitar sound ala Pink Floyd and Santana ....

To be honest, the quality of this pack is not up to scratch.

Again I am with you . I am 68 now and would love more reggae ,Ska rock, Tamla, Atlantic, soul prog, New age, etc.
I would like to know when our generation will be catered for as we are no spring chickens at that. But we are the original *** gods that wore tank tops and 22 inch flairs with hair held in place with a can of Harmony hair spray!! "Dedicated followers of fashion"  "Oh yes he is"!!
