Starting June 30, Yamaha Premium packs, expansions will be free

[overover]

Entertainer2016 and Eurodance2016 doesn't have Genos CPF and not working on Genos.

Yes, they still have problems with some Packs. "Entertainer 2016 for Tyros5 / Genos" is a wrong file. (It's the "old" Tyros5 Entertainer version, containing only 10 Styles.)

Same with "Eurodance 2016 for Tyros5 / Genos". It obviously contains only the "old" Eurodance version for Tyros5 at the moment.

Chris

Thanks for your reply.
Could someone please share these two Packs for Genos since there are free now ?

This will probably not work, because the previous (payed) versions of these Packs were "ID encrypted", to my knowledge. Such Packs work on one specific keyboard only.

The current (free) versions of Tyros5 and Genos Packs are also in the protected .cpf format, but they are NOT "ID encrypted". This means, such a "new" (free) Pack for Tyros5 now will work on ANY Tyros5, but not on a Genos (and vice versa).

I'm afraid we will have to wait for Yamaha to fix the "wrong" download file issue for the affected packs ...

Hello, I live in Mexico and went to the Yamaha music soft site in the USA and downloaded several expansion packs without problem. Do not wait for an email with information, look in your library of the page and there are the packages to download them. Regards!

I  wouldnot be surprised that, due to worlds bad economy, it could be Yamaha Music Devision ..... EOL, like Technics some years ago

This is so silly... You are mixing apples and oranges IMHO

[mikf]

Yamaha, a world wide, respectable, Japanese company,
I was just expecting a higher standard than this.
Sorry if it upset you, Jose

Covid has affected them just as much as anyone else and a lot are probably working from home and these problems will be solved in due course.
Hi Toryl there are no scat packs to my Knowledge Just the vocal pack which works well with Carpenter type music.

[Toril S]

Thanks Eileen😀

Not really, ICT (and this is ICT) should not have any impact by corona, as everything can be done remotely from where ever you are...   anyway, my personal productivity is much higher working from the home, as i do not have to continuously answer questions from people dropping in at the office..   and meetings are a lot more efficient using tools  like msteams..

I made a video with the process of downloading Packs. If someone has still failed to download the material, this tutorial may help.

Does anyone have a list of packs  available for Genos? When I did a search for "Genos", some packs like the Vintage Synth didn't come up in the search, so I am not sure how I can filter for packs that are available and work on Genos.

Thanks

Everything seems to be messed up ...
whether it would be time for Yamaha to wake up for problem.

I downloaded one by one and set aside these packages for Genos.

that is a very good list.    Thanks.

Comparing my downloads to your list .  . . i also downloaded the packages voices AltoSax and BaritoneSax for Genos and installed into the Genos keyboard .   . . .I was expecting a Sax voice/instrument however, when searching for a voice i do not find any Sax voices in these package . . . .. did you test . . . . ?

I believe there is no Sax voice in either of these two packages .   . . . my question for everyone else that downloaded the Sax packages . . . how do you use these two packages ?  what can you do with it ?

thanks in advance.

[ckobu]

You're right, those two Packs only have a Registration Bank that activates Preset Voice.

[attachment deleted by admin]

[Al Ram]

Thanks for the confirmation.

Those 2 packs  AltoSax and BaritoneSax for Genos do not contain any Sax voices . . . . only a couple of registrations which are of no use to me . . . . So,  will proceed to delete the two packages.

Thanks and have a great day.

There is no point in trying to download premium SA2 voices for Genos, since Genos V2 includes them all anyway.

Genos cpf packages do not load into my yem 
"The Pack could not be imported because there is no instrument capale of using this Pack"
What on earth ? Version is V2.6.0

Esa

[PAFF]

I had rhe same problem Esa. Delete Genos from YEM  and reload the Genos ID.

[EileenL]

This is because we have those voices already in Genos.

Hi Esa,

yes, as already suggested by PAFF:

Delete the current Genos Install Target in YEM. Then export your Instrument Info file (.n27) from your Genos again and import it into YEM as new Install Target. (Genos must be updated to Version 2.02 before!)

Hi Chris,
I got Same error  when i loaded Indian Tals pack on Tyros5 as
"The Pack could not be imported because there is no instrument capable of using this Pack"

Will it work for Tyros 5 also when i delete Tyros5 and reinstall again ?

Thanks,
Sunny

[sunny]

Hi Sunny,

the Voices of certain Packs that cannot used on Tyros5 use Preset Waveforms that are not available on Tyros5 (but only on newer models like PSR-S97x, S77x, PSR-SX and Genos).

To my knowledge, there is no workaround or "hack" to can install those non-compatible Voices on Tyros5, at the moment.


P.S.
Maybe Caspar (ckobu) can say a little more about this. I have seen some posts of him on this topic in other keyboard forums.


Best regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Does it mean that Indian expansion packs which are compatible with PSR SX900 expansion packs are also compatible with Genos keyboard ?

Sunny

[Bachus]

Seems still some packs are missing? Like the entertainer pack?

@overover is right. Tyros5 cannot use Preset Waveform from newer models. Genos can. Pictured is the Pack (* .ppf) made with Genos sounds and they are gray if we select Tyros5 as the Instal Target.

But now that we have the * .cpf Free Pack, we can only use the model for which the Pack was created. For example, a Pack made for Tyros 5 cannot be entered in Genos.

This is all I was able to download and successfully install in Genos. I believe new Packs will be added to the Shop. For now, I'm using the Entertainer Pack (ppf) from the psr s970.
