Hi friends
I have tried to raise this issue before - maybe in the wrong form. So I try again.
Recently I bought a new computer. So I have to reinstall (download) a new version of YEM (2.6) on this (new) PC. My problem now is to have a transfer of all my old packs bought at Yamaha and elsewhere to this new PC. They can be found on my old PC, and I have - via the old YEM - managed to create a Pack Install file from this (old YEM) . It is called Genos_PackInstallData.cpi
So my question is this: After downloading the most recent version of YEM can I transfer the whole package from the old PC (the cpi file) to the new YEM (by import)? I will also - of course - have to import my Genos instrument info. Or do I need some other files from my old PC, while I still have it?
I could of course reimport my packages from Yamaha, but the rest will be gone ...
Hope this makes sense!?
Kindest regards
Torben
Hi Torben,
You copy recursively (or drag) "C:\Users\<YourUserName\AppData\Local\Yamaha" folder into a USB flash drive from your old PC. This takes care of all the installed expansion packs for you. Please note that by default Windows Explorer does not show AppData under "C:\Users\<YourUserName", you have to type explicitly the path in order to be able to get into that folder.
Then insert the USB flash drive into your new PC and copy / drag the 'Yamaha' folder to "C:\Users\<YourUserName\AppData\Local" folder and overwrite the current subdirectories and files.
Since the Genos_InstrumentInfo.n27 file of Genos 2.0 is different from firmware 1.41, you have to re-export the Genos_InstrumentInfo.n27 file from your Genos:
Menu -> Menu2 -> Expansion -> Export Instrument Info -> OK -> OK
Unplug the USB drive from your Genos, and plug it in your new PC.
Then you invoke Yamaha Expansion Manager 2.6 on you new PC, delete the Genos under "Install Target" on the left. Then click the "+" to import the new Instrument Info file using the Genos_InstrumentInfo.n27 in the root directory of your USB drive. Then you can recover all of your previously installed expansion packs, and import the Genos 2.0 Superior pack, with the new allowable Voice Wave Size of 3 GB instead of the previous 1.8 GB.
Thanks,
Paul
