Tyros 4 voice expansion packs

[dE.niz]

Hallo
A friend of mine has a Tyros 4 . He has stopped playing music.
He has several Voice expansion packs.
I want to buy these but how can I put it on my Tyros 4 ?

Thanks in advance.

Yamaha now gives away all the expansion packs for free. Why would you want to buy them from anyone?

Your tyros 4 uses the SFF2 style format, so you can most likely use any of the PSR-S950 Style packs in your keyboard.

What style packs do you need? I think I have just about all of them setup to work in my keyboard without needing to install any of the packs. I use them from my USB stick. It makes it simpler to have them all available all the time.

Hey, Drake.  If you are willing to share all of your collection of style and voice,expansion packs that are ready to use from a USB stick, I'd really appreciate your making the whole collection available for download.  I need all of them.

Hi

Interesting reading this!!
I thought the expansion packs that were available for the tyros 4
were now no longer available for sale?
And when they were I thought that they had to be registered to just one particular Tyros 4 keyboard??

It looks as if I may be wrong about this?
But when Yamaha made the expansion packs available for free they took the Tyros 4 packs off sale??

I also would be very interested in what Drake has got

regards
Arthur

I don't think you can use Yamaha Premium Packs on another Tyros 4 than that keyboard used when purchasing them. It's the instrument info file which causes this problem on older Tyros like the T4. Earlier Packs are copyprotected incorporating this file. However the Premium Packs that can be downloaded free from Yamaha Web for Tyros 5 today is not protected as them from beginning.

Hi there,

Abr is right because to date on https://shop.usa.yamaha.com/en/c/downloadables/sound-expansion-library/premium-packs-voices, it is impossible to obtain styles and voices for the PSR PSR S600, S750 and S900 and the Tyros 4.

I even asked Yamaha France and USA to leave accessible at least the SSFF2 styles and Voices for owners of Tyros 4 and PSR S.

A senior official of Yamaha France did not even deign to answer my mail and only Yamaha USA had made me 2 answers by email indicating to me that Yamaha were going to examine my request but for more than 2 years no answer.

Commercially, this attitude, which cost Yamaha nothing, will certainly divert keyboard players to other brands.

The range of free styles and voices is therefore only reserved for owners of Tyros 5 and Genos and there is nothing free for the Tyros, PSR 600, 750 and 900.

By doing so, Yamaha has not retained the loyalty of the owners of these keyboards who are, however, potential buyers of Genos and future keyboards and this is regrettable.

Best regard

Hi Drake
It's a little confusing what is being said about those expansion packs. I know you can't just install a pack if the code of your keyboard is wrong. Hence this question on the forum.
  It is of course very tempting to ask to share the usb files with the forum readers.
Nevertheless , thanks to Drake and also to the rest of the readers for their contribution to my question

You can't purchase any T4 premium packs from Yamaha now. He is purchasing T4 styles from somebody who bought them from Yamaha all ready, Years Ago.

I have no idea what premium packs were for sale for the T4 keyboard. That is why I asked him what packs he was looking for. 

I posted years ago seven premium PSR-950 packs. I fixed them up so I didn't need to install the voice pack into my keyboard to use them.

But all Premium packs that were offered to the older keyboards are still available for the newer keyboards. The styles have been upgraded with newer voices with each new keyboard model they are enhanced. You just need to change out a couple voices to get them to work in the older keyboards (most of the time.)

Onacimus' conversions page:

He has just about every thing available posted. I think he may just have the styles organized his way and not by premium packs.

You needed to have Flash memory fitted in your keyboard to use the voices in the packs and some of these voices were also used in the styles. If I remember there was a vocal pack which was very good for some Carpenter songs and some packs also contained Multi Pads. There was a Euro organ one which was very good for Klaus type songs. There was a Celtic one and a couple of others. These were loaded in to keyboard in a totally different way and did not use Yamaha Expansion Memory.

I am looking for voice expansion packs for Tyros 4 .
I'll be forever grateful if someone could help me with this.

Of course you must have a memory card installed in your keyboard.
Thanks in advance.

For all my UVN&UVD voices you can look on the Forum.

I will definitely try this one out.
It is a pity that Yamaha has removed all packs for the Tyros 4 .
Hopefully someone will share these packs in the future.
thanks in advance
