Don't get discouraged. I agree with you . . . this upgrade is not easy. Reading on the forum posts, several people find it difficult . . . even though other people found it not too difficult.
We all have different degrees of understanding (and sensitivity !!!!). . . I managed to do the V2 upgrade and the Superior Package, but i cannot say it was that easy. (I am an IT Manager with 40 years of experience and did not think it was easy . . . . and I work with computers every day. !!!)
There are several steps and Yamaha does not provide clear instructions. For example, installing the Superior Package you have to install the YEM program first and then transfer the new package to your Genos instruments. Yamaha provided instructions on how to download YEM and the package into YEM, but there are no clear instructions on how to transfer the package to Genos. For example, you need to transfer the package either wireless or via USB, but YEM does not have any help file or instructions. This should not be left to common sense or instinct, there should be clear written instructions on how to do it and those instructions should be available in the YEM program itself.
With the upgrade, I lost several user settings and now working to re-program those settings. It's ok, eventually will get there. That should not happen (loosing the user settings. . . regardless of what other people might say. ) They tell you to back up your user settings before the upgrade, but my user settings backed-up file is not loading into Genos after the upgrade. Yes, it was a good idea to take pictures of the previous settings, but still . . . .
Yet, the upgrade is free and that is appreciated. Your motivation is that in addition to the new functions, there are new voices and new styles with this upgrade. So, I encourage you to continue trying for the upgrade.
Anyway, there are a lot of good and kind people on this forum willing to help. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. If you want to send me an email if you have specific questions related to the upgrade. I will be more than happy to assist.
thanks
