Paul - I have copied the pack to my USB - it is named 'Genos_PackInstallData.CPI' not 'Genos_PackInstallData.PPI'. When I follow your instructions it asks me if I am sure the I want to proceed as I will loose any unsaved work. Shall I continue??
Hi Rumney,
What DerekA said is correct.
Usually if you do not have third party expansion packs, but just Yamaha expansion packs (usually come in .ppf file format), the created pack installation file is named "Genos_PackInstallData.ppi". If you have any third party expansion packs (usually come in .cpf file format) imported to your YEM, the resulting pack installation file is name "Genos_PackInstallData.cpi". Usually .ppi files can be installed on multiple compatible Yamaha arranger keyboards, whereas most .cpi files can only be installed on the licensed Yamaha arranger keyboard(s), and some .cpi files can be installed on the Yamaha arranger keyboards with their corresponding instrumentinfo.n27 file(s) imported into YEM.
You should import all your expansion packs into YEM, and check all packs that you want to install on your Genos, then create the "Genos_PackInstallData.cpi" pack installation file on your USB flash drive.
When installing "Genos_PackInstallData.cpi" file on your Genos, your Genos will always remind you that it will reformat the Expansion flash, which means that all the data on the Expansion will be wiped / gone. This is Yamaha's method of making sure all the packs will be installed and written to the Expansion flash area contiguously without any wasted space. This will not wipe any other files or settings of your Genos, so it is safe to proceed.
Thanks,
Paul
