Well, I would like to thank Teknoss, for the first post on this thread . . . . for providing the info and link in advance . . . .
I also would like to thank Yamaha for this unexpected gift. I have managed to download 6 new packs that are now into my Genos Expansion area. . . . this should increase the keyboard re-sale value . . . yes, i had to wait a bit. . . . . with some frustration along the way . . . . .
Yes, the yamaha site was frustrating but i think part of the problem was that we were all trying to 'buy' stuff at same time. The web site is not prepared for a buying rush like this, I can understand it because normally they probably sell one or two a day if that much.
Then the downloading was also frustrating with the error messages, etc. same issue. . . an unexpected number of people downloading at same time . . . . . but just keep trying, it is free . . .
Of course the Yamaha Expansion Manager is not a walk in the park. . . but again it is free and once you kind of understand it, it works fine. (not sure that i completely understand it, but it worked for my purposes).
In the end, the way I look at it . . . . it was free . . . . for me well worth the work i had to do. I put in maybe 5-8 hours here and there for almost one thousand US dollars in value .. . . . . not bad.
This is only my opinion/comments and do not in any way intent to discount any comments to the contrary.
Greetings Everyone.
Thanks
