Can you add genos or s970 voices to a S670  to user or usb drive yes or no?
Let's say you wanted to take  a Golden trumpet  sound or shake trumpet, etc, etc,
from the S970 or Genos  copy it and add to the S670 user sounds
and play them within the S670 with a style etc...?

UPDATE:....someone was nice enough to send me some Voice files to use on my S670 which work flawlessly and I guess that answers my question in addition to that with some fantastic Genos & S970 style conversions pretty much this S670 arranger is becoming a suedo GENOS Monster WOW!!  :keys:

Short answer - No

Longer answer - *if* the Genos/S970 voice uses a ROM sample waveform that is also present on the S670 - which is unlikely for anything you'd want to do this for, and there is no way to tell - it would work. Otherwise - and this is more likely - the S670 will use a substitute waveform which won't sound the same as the original voice.

From what I know, it's impossible to copy any voice from keyboard to USB or PC. Example, if you "copy" a voice from S970 (or S670) to USB, you only actually copy (midi) settings of that particular voice -such file usually has size of about 1kbyte and does NOT contain actual wav audio data. If you "import" such voice file to another keyboard which doesn't already contain that exact voice, then keyboard will try to find "the best match" of that voice and apply settings from voice (midi) file.
Because of above, that's the reason why one can't "import" voice file into Yamaha Expansion Manager -one can only create new voice inside YEM (if audio wav file is provided).
That is, one can only load new voice into keyboard if a voice exist inside ppf/ppi file. In case of S670, you can use a S970 package and import that into S670.
Obviously above also applies for style voices: if style uses a voice (again, style doesn't contain actual voice -only voice settings) which isn't already inside keyboard, then keyboard will try to find "best match". In case keyboard can't decide about substitute, then there will be no sound for that particular voice.

thank you all for the replies...I found some really amazing voices..(not SA) of course...
but some useful additions to the existing factory ones to use ..
the S670 gotta be the best bang for the buck of any arranger kb on the market.

Dnj,

Voice files are MIDI files that set the parameters of the Voice... that's all. You must have the sample waveforms in the S670 for them to work.
