Hi Pietro,
.
vce files are only so called "Voice Set" file (also known as "User Voice" files). These files do not contain any Samples but only
setting data.
User Voices are created when you
save a Preset or Expansion Voice to the User drive or to a USB stick from the Voice Selection display or from the Voice Edit display (called "Voice Set" on older models).
Generally, such User Voices can only be used in
Keyboard Parts (not in Styles, MIDI files or Multi Pads).
.
vce files can also be found in the folders of your installed Expansion Packs inside the "Expansion" folder on the internal User drive. These .vce files are used to call up the installed Expansion Voices (using the Voice Selection display).
Note: User Voices can have many different file extensions. I recently made this list (that can be found on several websites meanwhile
):
.vce .VCE = Regular
.liv .LIV = Live!
.clv .CLV = Cool!
.swv .SWV = Sweet!
.nlv .NLV = S.Art! (Tyros5)
.sar .SAR = S.Art!
.sa2 .SA2 = S.Art2!
.mgv .MGV = MegaVoice
.org .ORG = Organ Flutes
.drm .DRM = Drums
.ldr .LDR = Live!Drums
.sfx .SFX = SFX
.lsf .LSF = Live!SFX
In conjunction with the YEM, you can do ... NOTHING with those User Voice files.
What you CAN do: You can copy the files onto a USB stick or to the User drive and use the files to call up the INSTALLED Expansion Voices (instead of using the .vce files in the "Expansion" folder, e.g. to make a "Favorite Voices" folder).
-----
How to make a PACK with your favorite Expansion contents: - First of all: You can do the following only with unprotected Packs (.ppf).
- Just select the desired contents in a certain Pack and export it as a new .ppf Pack (using the function "Export Selected Content as Pack).
- Then create a new, empty Pack and use the function "Import Content" to import several .ppf Packs you made before into the new Pack.
Important: When you have finished your new Pack, SAVE it in .ppf format. If you don't do this, you cannot re-import the Pack into the YEM later if needed (for example because of an error with the YEM).
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
