Have spent a few hours today working with YEM (Yamaha Expansion Manager).
Now I had recently downloaded the free audio style of the Tyros 5 for the Genos on the Yamaha website.
These are offered as a 'ppf' file and must therefore be installed with the YEM.
That all works perfectly and the audio styles are put in the expansion memory.
On the Genos itself you can not copy or move these styles to another location (eg USER).
However, via the PC (PC mode Genos) these styles with extension 'aus' can be copied or moved to another location.
So I moved these styles to the USER memory.
I can actually choose and use all these styles from within USER without problems.
Where I want to go is the following:
these audio styles are very large files that together occupy about 615 Mb in the Genos_PackInstallData.cpi.
ie once installed and moved to USER, I no longer need to include these styles in the Pack installation file when I want to install new packs via YEM, and my Genos_PackInstallData.cpi is reduced from 1497 Mb to 878 Mb, which gives you time savings at the next installation.
Also, memory in the expansion memory is released for other packs.
Is this a correct reasoning or do I overlook something that could cause problems?
Best regards

Hi Etienne
I also installed the same Audio Style packs to my Genos, which reside in the Expansion folder. I tried copying them as well to the User Drive to free up expansion memory, but was not allowed to copy. I also tried opening them in Style Creator and save them to the User drive that way, but the Genos indicates that feature is not yet available. I also found that you cannot copy regular styles within Premium Pack within the Expansion folder as well.
My guess is, these features will become available in the next Genos firmware update. Seemed to coincide with the Premium Pack conversion schedule dates for the audio style packs, however it appears that the next Genos firmware update was postponed to later this month.
If you managed to transfer them to the User Drive in PC mode, I guess no harm done. I predict that the Audio Styles will still not open in Style Creator until the scheduled firmware update. I too want to remove the Audio Style packs from the YEM and expansion to free up memory space. Give it a try and see if the transferred Audio styles still play from the Genos User drive. To me, this all seems normal and just have to wait for the firmware update to get all the full Genos functions.
Not usual for Yamaha to do so, just as the YEM updates were scheduled for the Tyros 5. My previous Tyros 5 works flawlessly, just as my Genos will with the typical firmware updates. Completely satisfied with my Genos, just waiting for the conversion schedule dates to run their course and access my final purchased Audio Style packs upgrades.
