We are trying to build a pack that we can sell. We need it to work exactly like YAMAHA's packs, or people will want refunds if the particular LSB# that we have programmed to is already taken on their YEM. So the advice I'm looking for is exactly how to make a pack where the STYLES will reference VOICES no matter what the LSB# is.
Hi Chony,
I recommend the following method:
• Make a Pack with the Voices (actual LSB in YEM is NOT relevant).
• As a backup you can export this pack in .
ppf format.
• Make the Styles and revoice them with the Voices of the Pack.
• Import the Styles into the Pack (beside the Voices).
• Make a backup of the now completed Pack in .
ppf format.
• Export the pack in .cpf (encrypted), using the individual .n27 files of your customers.
• Either the .ppf version or the .cpf versions of the pack (containing Voices AND Styles) can be imported into YEM and the Styles will ALWAYS work (with ANY LSB), because when a .ppf or .cpf Pack that contains STYLES is imported, the Styles will be changed
automatically to work with the current LSB that was assigned (automatically) to the Pack at importing process.
If needed, the user can also change the LSB of the Pack
manually, and the Styles will still work, because also in this case the Styles (which are in the Pack) will be changed
automatically to fit the current Pack LSB.
Best Regards,
Chris
P.S.
Normally, you can NOT make a Pack like Yamaha PREMIUM Packs (that uses FIXED Voice adresses like Preset Voices). To do this, you have to be in direct cooperation with Yamaha. Otherwise you can only make a Pack, that uses CUSTOM VOICE adresses (for Drum Voices: MSB 62, for Normal Voices: MSB 63).
LSB of each Pack is variable (as mentioned, the current LSB is not relevant as long as the STYLES are in the same Pack).
