Thanks Everyone . . .

This is really good information.

One question, assuming that you get say 3 free packages that include styles, voices, registrations, multipads, etc.

Is there are way to only load to Genos keyboard the new styles . . . . not the entire package with voices, registrations, etc.  . . . . only the styles. ?  I really do not need more voices and do not care for registrations.

Will that approach keep Genos memory better administered ? does it matter ?

Thanks in advance.

If your goal is to get as many styles as possible without wasting more space (Ram)

This is the answer:

Option 1:
In Yem - Enter the pack before you create the installation file and Uncheck ALL the voices But leave the Drumkits checked
This will only import the files you checked AND the style will work because it will recall the proper drumkit
Note! You will have to reassign the voices from you preset because the style will not be able to locate them (because you obviously unchecked and didn't install)

Option 2:
There's a very good chance that you also have the drumkit available so...
You can slowly reassign all the style parts to already existing drumkits and other parts.
At the end, you might be left with the style working perfectly without any need for the packs at all

You can use YEM Content Explorer to extract the styles from a pack and save them to your hard drive, then transfer them to your USB stick or wherever.

Spread downloads? what it that mean? of course, they will and they should. Yamaha decided to make these packs public and the Should! They made plenty of money out of them and they are making plenty of money from selling the best arrangers in the world. The consumer Earned these packs!

Secondly, of course the packs will be compatible. If it exists, it will work. When they say ALL packs they mean ALL packs. Just be patient and you'll see. Everyone will be very happy with this move

I was referring to the the site possibly crashing because of too many customers simultaneously downloading as much as they can in a short period of time.
Only Yamaha produced packs are going to free

What a load of codswallop!!

Yamaha are only giving away the useless packs with flags on them.
Might as well go out and buy the Des o Connor collection!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Some will find the site hard to navigate

Hi John,
  Some people may enjoy these packs as they can't afford to purchase extra's for there keyboards.
You can't tar everyone with the same brush.

The site is asking you to update personal info and it seems to only recognise US zip codes

What is "useless" for you maybe is valuable for another user.
If you don't find any value on the packs on promotion just don't get them.
Other users maybe find this material valuable.

Also I really didn't get you "joke" about an artist (Des o Connor)
I personally find it quite disrespectful.
Please keep in mind that "music" is not ONLY what do you like, there are also a few more billions on the planet earth apart you, and maybe they enjoy this artist.

Danand, don't be so serious man 😀
Your supposed to be an 'entertainer'

John is probably right.

Yamaha does not give much away,
Not even a free midi sequencer so that we can edit our midi recordings.

I would be very surprised if we were to have a 'free and for all' on all their packs.

Pino 😀

The site was working so I had to update my details and then I ordered the Celtic pack.

I am in the UK but my order was accepted  but now checking my order it is marked as pending, and they said tracking info would be emailed to me, I thought it would be a download, oh well we will see what happens.

Karlos   I got stuck at trying to update personal info   kept sending me back to  repeat input No idea why

US website seems to be up, UK is not. Free stuff very limited and poor choice.

Guys, why don't everyone calm down a little bit?  ;D
It seems that you are sitting in front of the computer all the time and refreshing the page every 10 seconds to see what's going on  ;D

NO WORRIES

Now it's online, with a new interface.

EDIT: sorry I haven't read last messages  :-\

And now its in maintenance again..

Looks like very Amateuristic ICT support..
Not what one would expect from a grade A company like Yamaha in 2020..
This all should have been tested toroughly in a safe environment before releasing online..

elad770

Bachus,
I must agree with you!

I don't understand the gap between producing such a great instrument and ALL THE REST - all these tiny issues: Website slow, not working when you say so and other small things that are so surprising to me that Yamaha will still have such terrible practices

Hi Eileen
Well it is the baby Boomer in me.
I had to put German Oompah music on our stereogram (remember them) to keep Dad happy so i could get Half an hour of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Yamaha has forgotten the prog rocker generation Peace and all that rubbish with a flower in your hair!! ::) ;)

I'm not he only supposed 'entertainer' so why don't you try to follow your suggestion and "don't be so serious"?

If you don't like the promoted material, just don't download it. No one will force you to do so.
If Yamaha or any other company decide to not distribute for free their work just don't buy from them and support by your decision as customer to buy from companies who give-away material you like and value, don't buy from Yamaha!

A quick question: when you buy your Yamaha arranger did they promise you something for free and they don't provide it?
If YES, then you have all the right to protest if NO, then you can accept what they decide to give-away for free otherwise just ignore it and look for companies who can provide for free what is valuable for you.

I also want for free the "BBC Symphony Orchestra Professional" by Spitfire for my Kontakt but they ask me to pay 1000 Euros...
What looser...

It only takes a little patience for the web to work. These are Free Packs that we will be able to download.

Actually they are packs that where allready free... but regio bound.. i.e. the european pack was free in Europe, the latin pack was free in south america... and so on..

The interesting packs are still to expensive for what they offer,
Which is a pitty, but we will survive...  the Genos is allready a dream to play witouth any packs..




Still maintenance here in eu..
