I dont see anything on the website of yamaha music soft indicating things will be free from next week?
I dont see anything on the website of yamaha music soft indicating things will be free from next week?
Makes me wondering why there is still no grand piano expansion pack available...
You would think Yamaha itselves would offer a bösendorf imperial..
And 3rd party would offer a Steinway soundset?
I only see 2 packs of upright sounds...
I contacted Yamaha Music Soft, and here is their reply: Thank you for contacting Yamaha MusicSoft.
All of the Premium Packs and Voice and Style Expansion packs will be offered for free when the site updates on 6/30. This is only for the packs that are offered for the PSR-S instruments and the Tyros/Genos instruments.
Hi Bachus,
if you are referring to the Superior Pack, it contains:
- SA2 Trombone
- SA2 PanFlute
- SA2 FemaleVocals
- Alpen
plus SX900 EDM basses and the styles, not available as standard pack.
Francesco
Hi Bachus
Go into the future
Go Sample Robot
Think of the money you will save
All the Best
john :)
As keyboards improve in sound quality many of us no longer use some of the sample packs as the on board voices are great for most peoples use and with a little tweak in voice set can produce some really good quality voices.
Sample Robot has one downfall..
Its samples are so huge..
Won’t fit many of those sounds in my Genos..
Hi Bachus
You can put a nice large usb stick underneath in the bomb bay "SKY IS THE LIMIT"!! :)
It exports to SF2 ,so the same as any Yamaha pack. No Problem.
Sample VST and it can save you a load of dosh!! (money).
It has all the other avantages to be creative.
All the best

Hi Derek and Bachus .
Yes i got it slightly wrong but i cannot see a problem.
From what i can see there is enough room for loads of sounds.
I am not into too much tech jargon, i just want to get on with it before i am B flat diminished :D
If i run out of memory , i would take files that i need out of the packs and create a custom packs.
The Genos has loads of great sounds anyway.
If you have vst and Genos no problem at all in my view.
If you play gigs ,just load in what you need for the sets.
I purchase Sample Robot for those extra sounds that you cannot achieve on the Genos, then you can play them on the fly.
For the seroius stuff ,go Cubase..
The possibilities are endless.
All great fun !! :)
All the Best

...you can modify that behavior for the most common parameters in YEM, so it's not always nessecary to sample more velocities. For instance your example (velocity to filter cutoff) is a setting in yem that you can add to the preset and even the Envelopes of the filter (which is used very often during programming sounds) can be added in YEM.
When you use sample robot for multi sampling with more vellocity layers on every 3 keysto get accurate sounds, then its quickly becomming a memmory hog..
Also when you sample a sound from a synth engine its quickly becomming static in nature...
as an example, when i create sounds one of the things i often do is use keyboard vellocity (how hard i strike the key) to drive the filter cutoff. This makes the sounds much more dynamic..its hard to do such in the Genos..
... you can modify that behavior for the most common parameters in YEM... With almost 4 gigabyte of expansion space in the Genos you can add hundreds of sounds before running out of space. I have added so many sounds that i lost count, so in my opinion the memory size is not a real issue considering the amount of expansion space...While some people complain about YEM's editing limitations, there's a lot we can do. As the saying goes... "it's not what you got, but how you use it"

The static in nature remark about sampling can be solved with some clever sampling features during the sampling and added synth programming in YEM.
For instance in this demo i created you hear all kind of moving pads starting at 1.50. All these sounds (including the ambient pianos) are from my own expansion packs i created in samplerobot and YEM. Although the Genos has very limited synth editing features, you can achieve a lot if you fix this before sampling when you program your own sounds. If you export the same sounds to the Korg Pa4x then off course you can do a lot of extra things in the substrative synthesizer that it has, which takes it even a lot further.

That leads me to wonder about yamaha's actions..
i have a feeling that some new exciting expansion packs will be coming
soon from them thus making the current ones not so profitable

Hi Joe
EMC Style works was as Close as it gets to making styles the easy way.
I got suckered into that program which worked great for a year and when the Genos came out. It went BONK!!! ::) :P
Klaus took ages to update the program and when he did, it was so buggy. He has other business interests i'm afraid...
hi Robinez those voices were good loved the DemoThank you (and EileenL) for these kind words.
I have to say the same thing about Yamaha - Style Factory. It's got bugs and Klaus doesn't seem interested in fixing them. For instance: What you see on-sceen may NOT be what is going on with the program. What I mean is everything on-screen should accurately reflect the operation you are performing. An example would be if a style phrase has a synth sound, the Phrase Extractor Module screen should display the actual sound not "Bassoon" or French Horn". It should support all the new drum kits not just the old GM/XG Standard Kit. I remixed a style in the Style Arranger Module and saved it. When I played on my keyboard, it didn't sound right. Drums transposed with my left-hand chords and the rest of the Parts didn't play right either. I had to load it into StyleMagic to fix the CASM settings.
The program is old. It was written in 1994 when arrangers were quite simple and there were only 128 GM sounds. When he updated the program to support Tyros and Genos, he did so only half-way. I sent him an email a few days ago explaining some of the issues I was running into... no response.
Style Factory has wonderful potential if he would update it to work properly with the new TOTL arrangers. Just creating sound maps (Voice Definition Files) for the Tyros and Genos isn't enough. I gave him some ideas about how the program should work effectively with the new keyboards, which have a lot more Voices and also enhancements like Mega Voices for the guitar parts. (SFF2 aka: SFF GE). The CASM settings fall short and don't save correctly. To be honest; I'll be surprised if he fixes the problems I reported. I told him that I was having to "experiment" to learn how the program worked because the documentation was so poor. A new user shouldn't have to experiment to figure out how a program works.
I'll probably have to find several "work-arounds" in order to use it at all. First workaround was to create a PSR S970 sound map and I had to name it Tyros3.snd in order to get it to work properly. Some of his conventions make no sense or are out of date. He needs to "modernized the program to make it truly compatible with the Tyros and Genos keyboards (not to mention the newer PSR arrangers).

Hello, I have the Genos keyboard, however, i go to the page/link in first post and
When I select the model Genos . . . . . only 1 item is available . . . .
"Easy Xmas Style Expansion"
is that correct ? should i select a different keyboard model . . . ?
The Xmas package is of no interest to me . . . . are there any other packages available for Genos ? ...
You say that you load all of your sounds on a USB stick.. can you elaborate more for me..?
I am understanding that those voices are just calling up the preset samples in sample robot?
If That’s so, you mind explaining how you do it? I would like to.
UPDATE!
Just got off the phone with Yamaha customer service
The department the directly handles the Packs content.
They are updating their system and had some difficulties.
There will be 1 day delay. In fact, they said the system will be updated 6pm EST and probably will take effect hours later so the good news : It's definitely happening!
Bad news: 24hr delay ! We'll survive
... It looks to me that the OP is a little bit confused.
There is no magic solution. No samples on the flash memory-> No sounds.
Are there limits as to how many free packages can be downloaded per person ?
thanks
Just got off the phone (11:45 CST, -6 GMT) with Yamaha Customer support and they told me there are some issues with getting the free offer started today.
Yamaha support said to look for the free offer to begin tomorrow. -EdL.
Opps! I've been back to this post so often I just skimmed over the newer posts and didn't see it...I guess that's good news X2. -Ed L.
Just got off the Musicsoft site. Nothing free, perhaps tomorrow?
I changed the items in the cart to my wishlist so if it becomes free then I can get them easier.
My problem, since I have a Genos, is what do I really need/ I played a few of the examples and found little to interest me. Of course I have no interest in dance or synth sounds since my keyboard already has enough for me.
I tried to order the organ and FM packs just to see if they are useful. If I had to pay for anthing on this site, I wouldn't.
If anyone has any ideas as to what else could be useful I'd like to hear them.
Thanks
Skip
I also phoned MusicSoft. Only Yamaha produced packs will be free. For Genos and SX-900 compatibility that leaves very little to choose from. But hey it is free, so...
The site will crash after 10 people start downloading 8) ;D Massive LOL!!
If it is only Yamaha packs, no wonder there giving them away. Yamaha packs are not very exiting.
The decent Easysounds and Kapro are the only things worth having.
That is only my opinion. 8)
Its all backwards compatability.. all tyros packs work also on Genos.. and are Yamaha produced..
Hopefully, customers will not be crazy greedy and spread out downloads over time. Yea right...:)
Spread downloads? what it that mean? of course, they will and they should. Yamaha decided to make these packs public and the Should! They made plenty of money out of them and they are making plenty of money from selling the best arrangers in the world. The consumer Earned these packs!
Secondly, of course the packs will be compatible. If it exists, it will work. When they say ALL packs they mean ALL packs. Just be patient and you'll see. Everyone will be very happy with this move
Yamaha are only giving away the useless packs with flags on them.
Now it's online, with a new interface.
EDIT: sorry I haven't read last messages :-\
Hi John,
Some people may enjoy these packs as they can't afford to purchase extra's for there keyboards.
You can't tar everyone with the same brush.
Danand, don’t be so serious man 😀
Your supposed to be an ‘entertainer’
John is probably right.
Yamaha does not give much away,
Not even a free midi sequencer so that we can edit our midi recordings.
I would be very surprised if we were to have a ‘free and for all’ on all their packs.
Pino 😀
Know this: YOU WILL HAVE ALL YAMAHA PACKS AT THE END!it's Yamaha PRODUCED Packs.
It only takes a little patience for the web to work. These are Free Packs that we will be able to download.

Once Again, unless something has changed in the last 24 hours, and as per my phone call to MusicSoft, she stated "Only Yamaha produced Packs will be free" If it doesn't have the Yamaha logo, it's not free.
I think or at least want to think that you are mistaken
The Yamahamusicsoft is down for a long time and the information we are getting from other Yamaha sites might not be accurate.
I think there will be much more for us to download
A lot of companies-- especially technical companies-- have their employees working remotely from home, so delays and snafus are pretty much par for the course right now.
I just tried the shop.usa link, and was quickly able to add 20 expansion packs that I see listed for free. I'm not sure, but it appears the order will be delivered by UPS? I printed an order confirmation, status is "PENDING", and it says Yamaha will send an email but I haven't received one just yet.
Some of the items have the same names, but different SKU -- for example, SA2 Trombone listed twice, with YCJ-VP02-VG, and YCJ-VP02-G1.
With an SX-900, will I be able to even use either of these items? Since they are SA2 voices?
Thanks, Jerry
Hi Jerry, as far as I know, the premium packages that have SA2 voices are exclusive to Tyros 5 and Genos.
Therefore they are not compatible with SX900.
Regards. Hans
A question to the european users here that formerly logged into https://eu.yamahamusicsoft.com/. Can you log into the new site using your old credentials?
Yes, it works. It asks you to update your informations.
Some of the downloaded packs have files with an SME extension, like this one: Choir_Vocals_Genos.sme
How to deal with this kind of file? There is a txt file with a key, what application is used to unpack it?
Stijn
Another problem is related to pack contents. The oriental pack has following files:
Oriental-GR-TR_SX900.cpf
Oriental-GR-TR_SX700.cpf
Oriental-GR-TR_S975.cpf
Oriental-GR-TR_S970.cpf
Oriental-GR-TR_S775.cpf
Oriental-GR-TR_S770.cpf
Oriental-GR-TR_S670.cpf
I have Genos, and in YEM it is not possible to import it and make a ppi-File for Genos.
Fikret
YEM won't accept those files because they're not suited for Genos. They are meant for the PSR SX900, SX700, S975, and so on, as mentioned in the file name.
Stijn
Reading all the threads it seems only one person has managed to access the site and download something Am I right?
hi all, any idea what to do with the .sme files?
I can add the files to my shopping chart and then it's asking me, to sign in. But, when I try to sign in the system is bouncing back and it keeps asking me for my personal info.
I'm also getting a pop up telling me, that you only can order in USD :-\
Hello,
Where to download the order i made ?
I received a confirmation for my order and even an order number, but I cannot download it anywhere ?

Still getting linked to the us..
Cant log in there
Sign in to your account, go to your page, at left side choose my library and download from there. (right side of the items titles)
So am I, but got in with the EU user and pass.
But, even if all personal data was there, I got confirmed as 'new customer', and all my library from the old site is not there. Guess they still have some work to do....
No problem 'order' and download the 'free' stuff, but I'm a bit confused about the --.sme files.🤔
Yes the celtic pack is the only one that works
Also, what's up with the suitcase icon for a shopping cart. Ridiculous choice of icon. It should be a cart.
THIS NEW YAMAHA MUSICSOFT SITE IS A TOTAL, COMPLETE ABOMINATION; AND ABSOLUTE FAILURE! IT SEEMS LIKE SOME 9 YEAR OLD PUT IT TOGETHER. NOTHING WORKS...PERIOD. COMPLETE SHAM!!!!

Just to confuse things. Look up sme files and you get..
Samsung Kies Messages Backup
SME file is a Samsung Kies Messages Backup. Samsung Kies is a software that lets you connect your mobile phone to a PC and it synchronizes data for easy transfer.
Yamaha must mean something else.
The .sme extension is also used for encrypted archive files created by the program "SmartEncryptor".
I guess that these .sme files are for "Yamaha internal" use (and published only by mistake).
Best regards,
Chris
So I think, that SME is an Yamaha internal file format, not intended to be published. Or we will see a new version of YEM that is able to open SME. Who knows....
For those people that do not live in the USA just wait until your country shop window appears. There is little point in going to the USA Site as your details are not there.
Probably close to the truth. But, there is also a key in textfile enclosed the zipped files, that make me think will work as a password to acsess or open the files by use of a proper software, or maybe directly at the keyboard? 🤔
I found a Tip about deleting a sme file in a Yamaha Claviona CLP-295GP Owner manual page 46What is it, Please ;D
Come on Guys. Just be patient.
Yamaha has said that it will take a week or two to sort it all out.
Just found out that the SME files are NOT encrypted. In fact the 'free versions' (SME) are missing a (fix sized) block of data from address 0008 to 0060 compared to the (payed) .cpf files.
From address 0060 up the .cpf file is identical to the .sme file.
What we have to find out : What data needs to be inserted from address 0008 to 0060?
I understand what you are saying. But Yamaha have really botched this. I mean glitches are one thing, but this is an epic fail :)
Most people would probably agree that the packs were somewhat overpriced to start with. But suddenly deciding to give away for free what cost several hundred pounds last week, is something that I would have thought they would have wanted to take a bit more care over. They created excitement and interest with the tease of the packs being made available for free, then squandered it.
Saddest part is, their new site was built using Magento which is a ready-rolled framework for building ecommerce sites. All they had to do was design the custom content.

Has anybody outside the US updated successfully i seem to get error can't access
Earlier this morning from the UK, I managed to complete an order of several packs. Did not need to re-enter personal details. It said I would get an email with instructions/link on how to get the packs.
No email - Still waiting (3 hours later).
Never had any e mail after downloading , packs are now useless because they have a other extension , only one pack works that was the Celtic
Why cant Yamaha do it the right way ?? :-[ :-[
I am a MusicSoft customer from the beginning ,and I have purchased a lot of packs and styles in the past years for more than a thousand euros,s , is it strange that I now feel a bit of “ ripped off “ with this action ?
Soryt :)
In reply to soryt concerning pan flute the one on Genos is not articulation. The downloadable one is and is excellent.
Mike
Yamaha have not officially announced the new website nor freebies [...] So we cannot complain about stuff that has been leaked about
Now one last question, i still have a couple of SME files pending . . . .do not know what to do with these SME files . . . . .anyone ?
Hi
This is reply from Yamaha about SME and Genos -- "What about the Genos???
Hi John,
Thanks for getting back to me. For the Tyros 5, they are irrelevant, and can be deleted if you so wish.
If you also own a Tyros 4, you will need to load the license key into it prior to loading the sme files.
I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions, please let me know.
Kindest Regards,
Donald
Ps How do you load the licence key??
He is referring to T5 and T4, i do have a Genos.
SME files hold information only and are best deleted. Can we pleased now go onto a different subject.
This one has been done to death.
I expect the SMEKEY is needed to create the 'personal datablock' that has to be inserted in the header.
Now one last question, i still have a couple of SME files pending . . . .do not know what to do with these SME files . . . . .anyone ?
I also have one CPF file . . . . for the Latin South Europe pack for which i got an YEM error message.. . maybe this one is not compatible with Genos ?
anyone had a chance to figure it out ?
Thanks everyone
kindly someone can tell me what I should insert under zip ... just out of curiosity ...
I gave up downloading the packs that interested me Italy and Iberia ...
Can anyone make these two packs available?
LISTEN TO WHAT EILEEN SAID :P :)
It's also compulsive addictive behavior like looking at your cell phone every five minutes.
But then the US website has not addapted to this..
Why keep trying when they are telling you it will take a couple of weeks to get everything running properly. just play your keyboard and enjoy.
And for those of us that already have bought most of the addons, the trade history and possibilities to redownload no longer present.
We'll see, but I have a bad feeling that tells me that the EU-site won't be reopened......... 🤔
get a grip every one please leave the site alone and let the guyes get it sorted >:( as it says on the tin 2weeks the guyes have enough to Do >:(
I can't seem to find the entertainer packs 1 and 2 on the website? Does anyone know the status with those?
What the **** is this back and forth all about? Doesn't anyone play their keyboards anymore. Is this free or when is it free. I have had my Genos for 2 years, and their is so much that I haven't even discovered yet. I also love new styles and sounds...but I think this obsession which is my own opinion, is not healthy
for most keyboard players. If you are waiting for sound improvements, just think after this Yamaha expansion problem is solved, their will be another down the road. I think technology has made us all very anxious to the point , that we cannot focus on the blessings that we have in front of us in our keyboards. But if this is what keyboard playing is all about for you, go for it. You will always be expecting better, and better, and missing what you already have.
My 2 cents worth.....
Don't worry "guys", the wait is over before of two week...
Extra packs have been corrected now. Compressed files (.zip) shared in the link.
I left the files unpacked for SX 700/900 to allow a quick download to who interested only those (in reality nothing is specific for the SX keyboard, the packages are of the various S series) ... Good music at all. Thanks Yamaha I have the packages that I wanted and that I was about to buy (Iberia and Italy) and others that I had in yep format and therefore lacking specific of voices and drumkits. Now no pack give me error in loading.

I think the point we were making is that many people are getting over heated about not being able to get these packs right now. No where is anyone telling Yamaha not to produce packs. We are just saying relax and wait a couple of weeks until all is working right. In the mean time have some fun with your keyboards.
Here is my challenge - play a nice middle of the road song - the sort posted over and over by arranger players - using the panel voices, stock styles as best you can play it. Then use a vst, expanded pack whatever voices styles you like and play it again. Then spend a week balancing, adding effects etc etc. Now,...... does it really sound that much better??

Hi PdeMats, this pack is pre-installed (along with 3 other packs) on sx900, it is protected (so it is a .cpf file).
it can be downloaded from the Yamaha website, but you will not be able to install it if you do not own the SX 700/900 ...
But if you owned the"SX700/900" you would already have it

Love Pan Flutes John They can be so expressive if played the right way. These packs will not work in the SX700 or 900 because we do not have SA2 on keyboard.
Three days ago I registered and put the free ones in my card. When I checked out, the order was acknowledged, and $0 charged. It said the download link would be sent,but nothing so far.
Bernie
Go to your library and find the download links there. There is no email coming.

Will these free packs load in a tyros 4 [...] I would like to load the Trombone Pack. Thanks in advance for any advice.
True Bachus. But about 80% of the people who buy an arranger see it as a musical instrument and just want to learn to play it. I think that around 20% or less are interested in the arranger as a piece of advanced technology, and want to explore and extend all the features. What people like Eileen are reacting to is that the 20% seem to dominate the forum with constant complaints about what they need but dont have, what Yamaha do wrong, and why it should be better, and it sometimes gets a bit old.
Mike
Will not be ready for UK for a couple of weeks.
Hi Bachus,
Several of us were told when we got in touch with Music Soft to give them a couple of weeks to sort out European side of things.
Thats something i expected and can live with..
May i ask where this information can be found?
It would be great if Yamaha would communicate more openly about this..
That would make the whole situation much less confusing..
Great information on this thread. Thanks everyone.
Thanks to the info on this thread i have been able to successfully donwload and install some nice packs. It is appreciated.
Has Anyone been able to install the "Best of Europe" pack in a Genos keyboard ?
If so, how did you do it ?
thanks in advance.
They downloaded in the end
I didn't include the other free packs as they are for PSR only.
Hi,
A Stupid question. My Genos memory is already filled a lot. But I also want these freebies, mostly styles. Is there a way to delete any voices or styles from these free packs (which i don't like) and save some space in my Genos memory. Will un-checking them while installation save me space in Genos memory? ...

Another option is to use YEM Content Explorer to extract the styles from the packs. That way you can keep them on the User Drive or on a USB stick. But keep in mind that saving those styles without the pack Voices will require you to do a remix of the styles and they may not sound as good without those pack Voices. ...
Thank you, Stijn, much appreciated. "Best Of Europe"appears to be ID encrypted, so I was not able to import that pack into YEM.
I managed to download it again, so this one should work:

The rest of the packs - like entertainer and eurodance - have filenames pointing to other models like S700 and S900 series.
Har någon lyckats hämta hem detta som är free?

Har någon lyckats hämta hem detta som är free?
Tommy
because we don't use zip codes we can not get into the American site to download properly.
In fact the ZIP code is no problem at all. I entered 00000 which was accepted, and I didn't care about billing or shpping adress, after all who needs a bill of zero bucks and a download needs no shipping. Well, err, maybe it needs shipping... LOL
Anyway, meanwhile shopping at the site works very well (besides being slow). But downloading is still fishy. Small packs (e.g. Baritone Sax) did work for me, while larger ones (> 150MB) generally fail. With exceptions, today I was lucky enough to download the Vintage Synth pack 8) :)
Problem is you dont want just the content, you want the content to be assigned to your account...
Hi
No luck yet as slow site and messages.
Failed with Firefox and Couldnt download with Microsoft Edge.
Whether something in Norton is preventing downloads .
I have not got a clue..
Have to wait a few more weeks then.
Worst online site ever as it is back to Pentium 4 days.

Just curious: why is there a .cpf for T5 and another one for T5_76 in those packs? The size of both files is identical, so what's the difference?
Pardon my ignorance, never had a T5. ::)

They say that stupid questions don't exist, so I take the chance. I thought Yamaha of loading Expanions Packs through Yem for copyright protection reasons was. If they give these packs away for free, why not take this protection off so that they can be used, for example, via a USB stick, just like the Playlist for Genos. It is more flexible then for apply them in a registration and play it on every other Genos. That is one of the reasons I don't use Expansion Packs.

Imagine you get a style from a friend that links to a user sound on his Genos.. the style will never work for you unless you import both the style and the sound trough Yem...
Ok. the wave data not sorry . But are all the things in that packs wave data? the most voices maybe but the Styles??

They don't work on Tyros / Genos models now, because they are CPF format (restricted to a specific model). When they were PPF format in the past they worked very well on Tyros / Genos. On my Genos I have a lot of PSR packs installed (Church Organs, China, India, Indonesia, etc.) that work perfect except for the icons that show a "PACK" text instead of the voice picture. The styles also works great linking to the new voices correctly.
Francesco
Thats what I did. I loaded the Genos ID.Similar happens to me with traditional pack received by the keyboard store. Fortunately I don't care about.
Sure! I have uploaded my PPF packs here --> https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ap_lPbsw3Hw3gSDN0uIS8iUb-Ens?e=dGBal9
It seems that S670 / S770 / S970 PPF versions work very good with Genos.
This is strange. I've installed the Indian Entertainer pack (S770 / S970 version) into my Genos without problems. Check my link, I have uploaded it, maybe you can try again, otherwise it seems that YEM allows Genos but not Tyros 5.
Do you mean that YEM crashes? Uhm, it should show you an import error message if the pack(s) are not compatible with your keyboard, but if it closes itself sounds like a SW error. Do you have the latest YEM version installed?
I tried loading Indian Entertainer Pack into YEM for Tyros5, the voices are not getting ticked, you can see how Yamaha cleverly playing trick by not allowing Indian expansion packs to be used on Tyros 5. ...
I don't know about everyone else...

Can someone please help me? I own a Yamaha PSR-SX700 and downloaded the Middle East premium package, but I couldn't install it because Genos and Tyros don't allow it externally. I would be very glad if you export the cpf file used on other keyboards of this package.
Entertainer2016 and Eurodance2016 doesn't have Genos CPF and not working on Genos.
Yes, they still have problems with some Packs. "Entertainer 2016 for Tyros5 / Genos" is a wrong file. (It's the "old" Tyros5 Entertainer version, containing only 10 Styles.)
Same with "Eurodance 2016 for Tyros5 / Genos". It obviously contains only the "old" Eurodance version for Tyros5 at the moment.
Best regards,
Chris
Thanks for your reply.
Could someone please share these two Packs for Genos since there are free now ?
Regards
I was going to ...I wouldnot be surprised that, due to worlds bad economy, it could be Yamaha Music Devision ..... EOL, like Technics some years ago

Covid has affected them just as much as anyone else and a lot are probably working from home and these problems will be solved in due course.
Hi Toryl there are no scat packs to my Knowledge Just the vocal pack which works well with Carpenter type music.
Does anyone have a list of packs available for Genos? When I did a search for "Genos", some packs like the Vintage Synth didn't come up in the search, so I am not sure how I can filter for packs that are available and work on Genos.
Thanks

Genos cpf packages do not load into my yem >:(
"The Pack could not be imported because there is no instrument capale of using this Pack"
What on earth ???? Version is V2.6.0
Esa
Hi Esa,
yes, as already suggested by PAFF:
Delete the current Genos Install Target in YEM. Then export your Instrument Info file (.n27) from your Genos again and import it into YEM as new Install Target. (Genos must be updated to Version 2.02 before!)
Best regards,
Chris
Hi Sunny,
the Voices of certain Packs that cannot used on Tyros5 use Preset Waveforms that are not available on Tyros5 (but only on newer models like PSR-S97x, S77x, PSR-SX and Genos).
To my knowledge, there is no workaround or "hack" to can install those non-compatible Voices on Tyros5, at the moment. :(
P.S.
Maybe Caspar (ckobu) can say a little more about this. I have seen some posts of him on this topic in other keyboard forums.
Best regards,
Chris
I downloaded one by one and set aside these packages for Genos.
Hi Chris,
Does it mean that Indian expansion packs which are compatible with PSR SX900 expansion packs are also compatible with Genos keyboard ?
Sunny
Seems still some packs are missing? Like the entertainer pack?This is all I was able to download and successfully install in Genos. I believe new Packs will be added to the Shop. For now, I'm using the Entertainer Pack (ppf) from the psr s970.
Hi Chris,
I got Same error when i loaded Indian Tals pack on Tyros5 as
"The Pack could not be imported because there is no instrument capable of using this Pack"
Will it work for Tyros 5 also when i delete Tyros5 and reinstall again ? ...
Hi Chris,

Hi Mega Voice,
Premium Packs are only available for Tyros models and Genos, and because they are always in the protected .cpf format, there is no way to use those Packs on other models (like PSR-S or SX).
Please take a look to these free Local Packs for the PSR-A3000. These Packs are in the (non protected) .ppf format and should can be used also with the SX700.
https://asia-latinamerica-mea.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/arranger_workstations/psr-a3000/vse.html#product-tabs
The only thing is that some of these Packs are relativlely big, so maybe you have to deselect some content (in the YEM) when using with the SX700.
Best regards,
Chris
Hi Sunny,
no, Esa tried to import .cpf Packs that was originally made for GENOS, he could not import the Packs because (in my opinion) he had not yet imported the current Genos Instrument Info file (.n27) as an Install Target in the YEM.
In your case, the reason that you cannot import the "Indian Taals" Pack is: The now free downloadable version of this Pack is only available in .cpf format, and only for the PSR-S670. This .cpf cannot be used for any other model, unforunately. (The Pack could be imported into YEM if there was also an PSR-S670 Install Target. But you can not select it for use with e.g. the Tyros5.
I have a .ppf version of "Indian Taals" Pack that was downloadable for free in the past. A .ppf can ALWAYS be imported into YEM (and usually can be used on several instruments). BUT in the case of "Indian Taals" Pack, unfortunately many Voices are NOT COMPATIBLE with Tyros5. (See the attached picture.)
I could upload my .ppf version of "Indian Taals" if you wish, but as mentioned it is not fully compatible with Tyros5 ...
As mentioned before, a .cpf Pack can only be used with the specific model it was originally made for. So, to use with the Tyros5 you need a .cpf pack that was made specifically for the Tyros5 OR a Pack in .ppf format.
Best regards,
Chris
Hi EileenI'm quite sure that the current Genos CPU power with 1TB instead of 3GB, and perhaps with some new sound algorithms (i would like the random algorihm used for new drums to be used for other acoustic sounds to imitate natural changes) will allow us to take profit from sounds at the VST quality. The Genos will then have professional sounds with the "sit and play" so enjoyable capability. Everybody will be happy.
People want diversness on this forum and all i am saying is something that i can pass on. That is how i have learnt this by others opinions
If we were all the same it would be boring
I am not pushing anything as I have nothing to gain.
This forum is for live players and home studio players as well.
I still maintain you do not get much for free!!. Not these days anyway.IMO>
All the Best
John
Hi John,
I know that people want diverseness on a forum but I was referring to sticking to the subject of a thread which is all about a certain subject. If different bits not related to a subject are posted all over the forum all you achieve is a muddle and members wont know if they are coming or going.
Quite a few members have managed to download packs. It seems to be the European site that is still being worked on.
Hi - The packs for ''Colours of Iberia'' and ''Greetings from Italy'' have a second version '' V2 '' are these the same packs but upgraded in or different ? ???
Cheers Terry
I made a video with the process of downloading Packs. If someone has still failed to download the material, this tutorial may help.
https://youtu.be/9Im1h_GCIyM (https://youtu.be/9Im1h_GCIyM)
.. I am wondering if I should download the packs I already have (ie Yamaha ones) so that I have a set not tied
only to my Genos ??
I've done that, downloaded all the Y free-packs for Genos just to be safe if the bought packs is tied to the exact keyboard.
As said above by ckobu, some of the packs still miss the Genos format.
.... You had to use email and password to open it in YEM.
Previously, one Free Package came with the purchase of a keyboard. So I got a ppf. It can also be installed in Genos.i do not no how you done this im having the same trouble both the CPF files do not even load into the yem they do not exsist for genos
Now all Packs are free and come in the form of * .cpf. They only apply to a specific model.
Genos cpf packages do not load into my yem >:(it says the same on my YEM as well
"The Pack could not be imported because there is no instrument capale of using this Pack"
What on earth ???? Version is V2.6.0
Esa
Yes, Entertainer Pack and also Euro Dance does not exist for Genos. I hope Yamaha will correct that.
I do not know. Everything I downloaded for the SX700 / 900 is in cpf format. And it doesn’t go into the Genos Pack.
The "old" EuroDance.ppf made for the S970 can be entered in the Genos Pack.
But it doesn’t matter because it’s obviously the same or very similar content.
In addition, if something goes wrong, the old firmware version can always be restored.
Genos Firmware version 1.40 came with a warning which said:
"* The previous firmware version cannot be restored after updating the firmware to this version"
Since the user would be updating from version 1.20 to 2.02, presumably it will not be possible to restore a firmware version earlier than 1.40 after installing the update!

Wasnt the choirs and vocals part of the V2.0 upgrade?
I checked the Genos V2 Superior Pack but the choirs and vocals are not included.
Stijn
Thanks, Pmahl the packs work good except for the Enterteiner 2016.
YEM won't read it.
Is this pack for T5 only? I have T5 76 cut this be the reason?
The size of the Package is confusing but the Genos Pack is 88mb in size. I don’t know why it’s so big for Tyros 5. Best of Europe is installed on my Genos and works properly.
Go to page one of this thread and you will see it.
...... all my purchases( payed a lot for them) from the past are gone on my account .
If this infers you want to set velocities to precise values for multi sampling from Genos you can turn off Touch say for R1 then dial in the fixed velocity you want to apply for that sample/layer etc.
........ If it helps :)
John
Still don't know why they needed a total revamp of their website, when all they had to do is change the now free prices to $0.00

Has anyone managed to download the Eurodance 2016 and Entertainer 2016 packs for T5 or Genos. When I try to download I am getting the older pre-2016 versions of the packs for T5 only, despite an email from Yamaha stating this issue had been fixed and should provide the correct 2016 versions for both T5 and Genos.
... Now I have been trying to download these free packs but none of them is showing up on my login. ...
.... Just so stupid of Yamaha to block even the free items !!!
