Hi Folks,
  Go to Yamaha Music soft site and you will see a new fiesta pack £119 but if you get it today by using the promo code which is fiesta19 it will be free. Just got mine.

CPF file needs to be loaded into the YEM and then make a pack for loading into keyboard.

It worked for me in Canada.  You have to go through the normal purchase routine, then use the Promo Code to zero out the cost.

Thanks Eileen for the post.

I have a similar problem. When I go to View Cart, I get:
There has been an error processing your request

I guess they figure Canadians don't need Caliente music.

I was having web site issues with Yamaha Musicsoft, too. The customer service rep helped me find the issue.

Yamaha Musicsoft migrated their customer database to a new app and apparently some of the information was lost.

If you're having a problem, go into the "My Account" section and check your basic account information: name, address, postal code, country and phone number. Make sure that all required fields are correct and complete. Then save your account information.

Try ordering again. Everything should work. Otherwise, call the customer support number for your region.

Hope this helps -- pj

P.S. And thanks, Eileen!

But how does one redownload packs bought on yamaha music soft?

Hi Bachus,

To download content that you have already purchased from Yamaha MusicSoft:

First login, then the My Account page should open.

Click on 'My Library' to open a table of all your content.

This shows the product number and order number for each item, and more importantly, there is a column which shows whether or not you can download the item.  Click on the relevant 'box' to download.

Remember to logout when finished.

I downloaded the Fiesta Caliente pack last night without a problem.  I used the promo code and was charged zero.

I have just logged in to check, and this pack appears in My Library just like my purchased packs, and is still available to download.

I have just seen pj's post about the problem that he had with the site.   I also had a problem when the data was migrated.  They managed to 'lose' the instrument data for my Tyros4, and there was no longer an instrument registered to my account, although all of my order data was still there. Customer service said that I would need to add the Tyros4 again if I wanted to purchase new content for it, and that doing this would create a new Instrument License Key which upon importing to the T4, would prevent me from reloading any existing downloaded packs to the expansion module!

That is still the current situation regarding the Tyros4 but it doesn't really matter since I have just purchased a Genos, and after adding it to my account as an instrument, I was able to get free Genos upgrade versions of all the Premium Packs that I had purchased for the Tyros4.  There was just one problem, for some reason the discount to reduce the cost to zero would not work for the Choir&Vocals pack, and the process wanted to charge me £155.99 for the pack!

I removed this pack from the upgrade 'order' and contacted Yamaha MusicSoft customer service by email.  Today I received an email informing me that the Genos version of the pack had now been added to my library, and when I logged in, I was able to download the pack in the way described above.  So good service (on this occasion) from the staff at the site. 

Downloading the Genos upgrade packs made me realise just how much money I had spent on expansion packs for the T4 - over £700 at today's prices!  So to get the Genos upgrades at no cost is a relief!   


Regards

Ian

Thanks so much.   It is not loading to the shopping cart . . .

I tried many times but no luck.  Selected Genos as instrument but no luck . . . it just does not load to the shopping cart.

I will try tomorrow from the US and call Customer Service if needed.

When I tried to log in, I got an error message-- I think similar to the one mentioned (error processing request).

So I clicked on my browser's "back" button to return to the previous screen and instead it displayed my account information.

I was then able to add the pack to my cart, enter the promo code, complete my "purchase," and download it.

The Yamaha Musicsoft website has ABSOLUTELY terrible COOKIE handling.
I have complained before, and they admitted there was aproblem. Site is always very slow, too. Well overdue an upgrade.
SDometimes when NOT logged in, you can see all content (say, forGenos, whether instrument selected or not) You add to cart, when you try and login to check out, cart contents not found. When you login sometimes, no content can be found AT ALL for insturment selections.


The ANSWER is to close the tab, delete all browsing files and COOKIES, then re-login. Should then work.

** Offer open as of 23.45 Friday May. (I expect it will be open til end of B/Holiday weekend UK)

Hey ... Yes ... It's rubbish! Like a 20-year old website!
All images of large size completely unnecessary ....
Categories UNCLEAR .. and take ages to load.
My Account is over complicated.
Instrument Selection (if you use it) is slow and long-winded
If you select Genos, next page you are ashed to enter model no, and Genos AGAIN! Then you see 'NO PRODUCTS' !
There is a WEIRD CART and BASKET/Checkout arrangement, too.

Yamaha Musicsoft ... A website like NO OTHER! Maybe written by Chinese .. for Chinese folks.
REALLY BAD, when you consider the site is about electronic data!

I saw someone posted above that said that downloaded the PSR S650....yes... PSR S650, we did NOT make this pack for that discontinued model since the pack exceeds over 2 times the memory required to be install.

Please make sure that you download the proper model.

For those that have a PSR S770 and or PSR S970, select the PSR S775/S975. When you download the file and unzipped, you will see the all PPI files for each model beside ONE PPF File.

For those novices, the Files that have the extension PPI/CPI are just to be copy into a USB memory stick and then load into their Keyboard to install.....

Now, For those that want to add the Fiesta Caliente to OTHER packs that you may already have, then you must use the PPF/CPF files of each of the packs you have including the Fiesta Caliente.

And PLEASE, make sure you have the latest Yamaha Expansion manager installed before you use it.

Hello Manuel,

From your post I gather you are part of the development team for this pack. If so, thanks for the work put on it. I am not a pro player by any extent nor I play any of the real instruments which it emulates, but have found the pack nicely done, not too memory hungry, and with plenty of possibilities on my Genos  :D

Thanks!

Hi
This nonsense is probably the REASON for CONFUSION!
Daft Yamaha Musicsoft website. Will still show a Genos version, whatever PSR of keyboard you select.
 
I am fed up lobbying Yamaha about the Musicsoft website. They will never change it until they absolutely have to.
The assistants are helpful, and thats about it.
See screenshot ... Ridiculous ...
