thank you for these links 

[Del B]

Thanks Chris

Thank you, Chris! All this available gratis, even before I get my G2 next week! Impressive!

PPF?! Hmmm... interesting news 

What is interesting as well it that they began to distribute Excel files which contains datalist for all this new resources, starting with Genos2. This is a good thing in my opinion, is easier to use them like this, no need to parse the pdf files to do something for external applications.



The second column Prg(1) is redundant IMO, is enough that the say on the first Prg column that are zero-based numbers.  Anyway, good as it is

the "CountryMusician_Genos2.zip" appears to be invalid or corrupt, cannot unpack using zip or 7zip on Win11.

thanks for the other files, they are fine.

Please try downloading and unzipping the file again. In my case (using 7-zip on Windows 10) everything worked perfectly.

I have W11 x64. I opened the zip file and it is ok. Look at the size of your downloaded zip file. These are the sizes of the arhive (size and size on disk ... check on your side):



It could be a partial download on your side, so try download it again and check the sizes.

[Amwilburn]

Thanks Chris!

Anybody have any idea why the _R downloads (Church, Vintage Synth)contain a redundant version of the ppf, and even odder, the size of the ppf in the main folder and in the "Back" folder differs by 10kb in the Vintage Synth pack?

Thanks for your feedback, Mark!

"R" could mean "Revised" (in the "back" folder, at least in the "VintageSynth" pack, there is an older .ppf version). It is possible that these "back" folders were "accidentally" left in the zip file for two of the packs. Similar "discrepancies" in converting packs for newer models have occurred several times at Yamaha in the past ...

Chris

[konaboy32]

Apologies, for whatever reason, the country zip is now downloading and unpacking ok.
thanks!

Where is the website where these can be found as they are updated? I'm specifically waiting for the Middle Eastern Pack. Thank you!

Hi chony,

Until recently, there was no such website listing the available Expansion Packs converted for Genos2. (I had to laboriously find out the links posted above myself, using various tricks.)

Yamaha has now put the following website online on which the already available packs converted for Genos2 are linked:
>>> https://uk.yamaha.com/en/support/updates/voice-style-expansion-genos2.html

I only found this site by chance, it's obviously not yet linked on the Genos2 download site or anywhere else on the Yamaha website ...

You can go to the site where you registered your Genos 2. There is a link from there.

Hi Alex,

Yes, using the link you mentioned (which you receive after registering Genos2) you can download the 10 converted packs for Genos2 available so far in a single zip file. But we don't know if this download will be updated as more packs are added.

However, I will always keep this thread up to date.


Best regards,
Chris

[Alex Sinton]

Thanks Chris.
The packs so far worked well but as you say we have no idea if and when more will arrive!

Hi chony,

Member "Mega Voice" referenced a PSR-A5000 .ppf MiddleEast Pack above. This made me remember the site with the A5000 "Local Packs".

You can download many MiddleEast/Oriental packs compatible with Genos2 from the following page:
>>> https://asia-latinamerica-mea.yamaha.com/en/products/contents/keyboards/vse/index.html

Select "PSR-A5000" in the drop-down list at the top. For each of the packs that are then displayed, a PSR-A5000 version is available in non-protected .ppf format which can also be used for Genos2 (as well as Genos1 and SX900).

See also the attached screenshot. I marked 4 MiddleEast packs there. But you could also use the other packs on the Genos2 (as I said, the A5000 .ppf versions).


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris

[konaboy32]

hi,
thanks for the upload.
can this be installed without YEM?

[overover]

hi,

You're welcome, konaboy32!

In addition to the .ppf or .cpf Pack Project file, most pack downloads also contain a .ppi or .cpi Pack Installation file. With the latter, the pack can be installed directly on the keyboard. However, only THIS ONE pack can be installed. Installing another .ppi or .cpi file would delete the previous pack.

In order to be able to install multiple packs, YEM must be used. You can then either create your own .ppi/.cpi Pack Install file (which contains all the desired packs) on the USB stick in YEM, or you can use the WiFi (WLAN) method ("Send to instrument" button).

By the way, when you click the "Save as Pack Install File" button in YEM, the file type ".cqi" (Pack Quick Installation File) is always suggested first. However, you only need this file type if you want to install ADDITIONAL packs to those already on the keyboard (to avoid having to completely reinstall everything). To save in .cpi format, you must first click on "Pack Quick Installation File (*.cqi) next to "File Type" in the "Save as Pack Installation File" window and then in the drop-down list "Pack Installation File ( *.cpi).


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris

[konaboy32]

extremely helpful, thank you chris.
ok, time to bite the bullet and get to grips with YEM then, since I do intend to install many of the packs pinned on this forum board.

[overover]

BINGO. Thank you!

My pleasure, chony! Glad to could help you. 


Best regards,
Chris

[soryt]

The expansion pack that I am most looking forward to and use most with Christmas music is the Celtic pack
I hope Yamaha can speed this up a bit

PPF?! Hmmm... interesting news 

The second column Prg(1) is redundant IMO, is enough that the say on the first Prg column that are zero-based numbers.  Anyway, good as it is 

Cheers

It's not redundant. Both colums is usefull in the case your sending prg change from an external controller that is either "0" or "1" based. You can compile a complete list for your device.

For internal usage these 2 columns really doesn't matter tho

If I send to you three numbers and I say that are 0 based, you don't know ton add +1 to them to see the 1 based ? LoL
Is a simple math operation.
Yamaha internally use 0 based numbers for Program Change. But they display them as 1 based.
So, if they store MSB:LSB:PC as 63:15:0 you don't know to add 1 to PC to find the display PC?
So, YES, definitely redundant column!

[bluali]

Most of my Genos expansion packs still not available for my Genos2. so it is useless for and i keep using my lovely Genos1. I may wait some more weeks.  if I could not find a way of using my expansion packs on Genos2,  I will return it to Guitar Center before my returning period expires.

Don't hurry! If your packs are bought from Yamaha Music Soft, definitely will be converted soon. If you already paid for Genos 2 and you have it, be patient now!

Hi Chris, Ive got all the ones you listed above installed and working. Just waiting for Celtic and Greetings from Italy V2. Plus I need to re-purchase Volume 1 of PSM (Pro Style Music) Pop sound/style pack (I am getting a good discount) to complete what I need.

thanks Chris!

do you know if there are fixed versions? I tried downloading the first set of packs, and they worked fine, but upon installing the 2nd set, a weird glitch now happens where packs on G2 no longer save any of the voice data, just the *styles* (not the samples as I'd brainfartedly typed).

Unselecting the 2nd set, all of a sudden the voices work (except cumbia, which works regardless)

So I'm hoping there's a 2nd set of fixed ppf/s (Eurodance, Middle Eastern, etc)

thanks!!!!

It has always been kinda messy with Yamaha's website especially with those local released pacs. Why can't Yamaha have a global site where they list all available packs. There also is a brazillian pack with some nice sounds for Genos, but that is protected and only available for Genos so far,  and I remember having to search near and far to actually find the download in the first place.

Some works, but most of them requires logging in, and wont accept local Yamaha login from eg in my case Denmark

So, YES, definitely redundant column!

Yeah I know it's a simple math operation  but I could make a looong list of musicians that still would look like fallen from the moon when telling them "You just have to add 1 to each program change you send and then ask "Can you make a list for me with that ?" and I can just say .. just print the excel file out that came with the pack it's in there 

[DJIncendration]

I put a bunch of these on my SX900, loving them. I hope they convert the packs containing voices new to the SX600 to PPF so anyone can enjoy them.
