A new Genos update V 2.0 has arrived

[Snicker740]

Sadly, YEM 2.6 still uses a tiny interface like a mosquito's eye. It is difficult to work on the waves layer.

Vali - unfortunately, you will not be able to do as you assume. SubScale has no Base note and SubScale is totally unusable because it is not remembered in the Registration.

Yes man, I tried right now. I thought (as they says in manual) that Base Note will transpose the notes. I thought if you change Base note from C to E, C will become E, D will became F# and so on, but is not happening. It has some patterns , based on Type (Pure Major, Pure Minor, and so on) .
So, yes, NO Terca

We will wait again...

Its noticed that when you make a pack with Expansion Manager the file extension is .cqi
Haven't seen his before.

You have to download the Extra music, and make an installation pack by using the new version of YEM (Yamaha Registration Manager).
Extra music is NOT included in the update 2.0.

Pack Quick Installation file * .pqi is a fast way to type in keyboard content only for files that we have added to an already installed Pack.

The first Pack Installation after the 2.0 Update must be done with a .cpi version of the pack, in other words a 'fresh install'. Afterwards you can add packs to the Expansion memory without the need of formatting the memory.

You make a .cpi version of your pack by Saving it (in YEM) to the USB drive, like this:

Save As Pack Install File:
Save As: select Pack Installation File (*.cpi)

To add new packs later, you can then Save As: Pack Quick Installation (*.cqi)

Now to the feared YEM thing. A first for me, believe it or not. But I just have to get around to it!

Hi Toril

If you don"t feel up to coping with YEM just yet, and you do not have any other packs installed, you can use the CPI file included in the download and simply put it on a USB stick and install it directly from the keyboard.

It is a really nice update, but again Yamaha forgot again to add the Rotary control to the external foot controller (Mfc10) ☹️

Soneg 😎

Hello Bill! Thank you for that information! I managed to get it wll to work in YEM after some trial and error, and good advice from you friends here on this wonderful forum

As I expected, Yamaha has redistributed the memory, removing 1Gb of memory from the partition for AUDIO STYLE to expand for Expansion Waves.
As shown in the picture: The total of the installation package is still 4Gb.

Thank you all

very good comments and instructions to prepare for the update.  I will do it sometime in the next couple of weeks.

thanks

Yes Vali we will continue to wait.
I am very happy with V2, the best update ever happened on Yamaha. A lot of total new things  but still no TERCA or easier understanding name "USER HARMONY SCALE"
SUB scale is total useless and the ONLY thing on V2 what not make me happy. The way better was if YAMAHA just extended "cents" on MAIN SCALE TUNE from: +/- 63  up to +/- 100. In that case we don't need SUB scale.
SO one more time this picture explain:

WITH +/- 100 scale tune or:
