HI Thomas,

it is NOT possible to extract Styles from a .cpi or a .cpf file, because these are encrypted files. (From .ppf or .ppi files the contained Styles can be extracted using the "Style Extractor" or the "YEM-CE" (YEM Content Explorer) programs.)

The only way to have access to the Styles in a .cpi file is to install the .cpi (Pack Install) file on the Instrument first. Then you can SAVE the Styles (one by one) to a different location (outside the Expansion folder). On Genos or Tyros5 you can also use the USB Storage Mode to COPY the Styles to a different location (outside the Expansion folder).

Note: A .cpi file can only be installed on the keyboard model it was originally created for. And if a .cpi file containes .cpf Packs that are ID-encrypted to work on one particular keyboard only, that .cpi will not can be installed on any other Instrument, even if it is the same model.

Best regards,
Chris

Hi Larry,

thanks for sharing my video. Yes, that's the way to extract Style from Ppi. A small correction, I speak Croatian, is similar and hard as Spanish.

BTW. Chris is right. The method from the video only works for the PPI but not for the CPI file.
