Tyros 5 (SFF2) / Re: Packs for T5
« Last post by amateur on Today at 02:19:25 PM »Adrian,
There is another way to check the presence of an Expansion Module (or other memory), without using a screwdriver.
I found this method in the Service Manual of the Tyros-5.
It goes like this:
1. TYROS OFF
2. Hold buttons F an J (near the screen) pressed down and switch the TYROS ON.
3. When the "Device Information Screen" appears, stop pressing the buttons.
4. When this screen shows " : Expansion module" a module is present.
5. Press key B (near the screen): "The Expansion Module Information-screen" appears.
6. From here you could get some more info, using the START/STOP-button and the BREAK-button, located in the STYLE
CONTROL-row.
7. Follow the screen for more info and the end result "OK" or "NG" (not good).
Succes!

« Last post by ckobu on Today at 08:04:03 AM »Hi Denn,
Yes, cqi is a quick install file. It can only be used as an upgrade/supplement of the installed material in the Expansion memory. This means, CPI/PPI must be installed first, and CQI/PQI only after that.
Watch this video, turn on English subtitles.

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Pack Instalation data .cqi won't load on my SX700
« Last post by Denn on Today at 07:26:10 AM »Have made a pack in expansion manager for my SX700 but it is a .cqi file and won't load. I think this is a quick installation file and needs a different suffix.
Please help, 😭😢
Thanks in advance. regards, Denn.

Tyros 5 (SFF2) / Re: Packs for T5
« Last post by adrianed on Yesterday at 11:31:13 PM »Chris,
At $ 555 for the part It might be better to wait until I get a new keyboard
I shall take a look inside though, just in case it’s already there
I bought the keyboard new, it came direct from Yahama so unless they installed it then it won’t be there
So far I have not been tempted to turn it over in case of damage, it does have the hdd installed, I presume it is not this that we are talking about

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: Search behavior very strange on - SX700 - Part 2 - Folder Size-It's a Wrap
« Last post by dlepera on Yesterday at 10:13:19 PM »Well folks - File Size is now a wrap for me.
As you may have read, because of my search issue, I decided to learn a little more about the SX and Genos file management behavior. I articulated the Style function testing and after all this time I have done more testing playing around with the other file types. I now have the following information that I want to share with you.
Conclusion
1. File Size for Styles, Voices, Pads, Playlist and Registration is a max of 2500 entries per folder equating to
250 pages with 10 entries per page displayed on the keyboard.
2 Exceed this and you get: Message: " Too Many Files Exist In One Folder To Execute This Operations" and
nothing gets listed.
3. This should not cause any keyboard search issues as described in my previous post as the message is only
informational.
4. I created a folder with 2500 registrations, sampled over 350 random registrations to ensure that they all
work fine and they sure did. BTW, this forum has lots of beautify registrations.
5. Created a Playlist and it displayed all 2500 entries numbered on left side of the display with 1/250 - 250/250
pages on the right.
6. Tried to rename in any folder and all worked and played fine.
7. Thought to try renaming to "._*" and Message: "A period (".") or a space (" ") is not allowed at the top of
the file name"
8. Note: it did rename with a "_" and "-" at the top of the file name and all searched and played with no issues.
I do not have 2500 Audio(MP3 WAV) files nor do I have 2500 MIDI files to test, but let's assume that Yamaha will limit them to 2500 entries as well.
Wrapping this up all I have left to say is that I have confirmed, tested the file limits and search capabilities of the SX700 and any instrument, with the same operating system like the SX900 & Genos should show the same results.
I do stress that I follow my own file management practices which can be viewed as good or bad, but at least I have now confirmed boundaries and limitations with even a few error messages and their understanding.
Keep in mind that the "Rules of Thumb" and "Recommendations" made in this forum are GOLDEN. So unless you really know what you are doing, in particular with USBs, HUBs, file management and structure, I really suggest that you do not do what some like me are doing. We all like to horde and enough is never enough when it comes to file types, but there to is good management logic that can be applied and keep us out of unforeseen issues.
Best Regards.
