I came across video demos of these expansion packs for Yamaha Genos/Tyros 5. Just wondered if anyone has tried them?
Hi Simon
I buy from them another expansion pack: FARFISA COMBO for my Tyros 5.
http://soundandstyles.grandblogs.com/farfisa.phpI was looking this sound (FARFISA ORGAN) for a project and I see a youtube video with a presentation of this expansion pack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZVReL4Vgm8I get a .ppf file and basic instructions on how to import the material to YEM (in my case i'm already educated enough on how to handle this type of material, so i totally skip the instructions....)
The size of the pack is almost 115 MB. The quality is very good (perfect loops, multi sampled sounds etc.) I consider this a "professional" production.
I consider that the 18 USD "investment" is a good value for money. From the 55 sounds of the pack i use more than 15 for my project and I'm quite satisfy.
They also have eBay listings with the same packs for 22 USD, so buying directly from them was a little bit (-4 USD) cheaper
They sound pretty good, although there's not much information on the site regarding voice lists or format (ppf or otherwise?).
I think that they mention in the description that this is a .ppf file
On the other hand, according my opinion, a voice list doesn't help much.
A voice list with names like "Organ 1", "Organ 2", "Organ 3" etc. etc. doesn't provide enough information about the sounds. The perfect solution will be a list and a small sound clip for every sound in order to actually hear the sound.
But i think that this is tooooo much work. Even Yamaha (who asks 100+ USD for an expansion pack) doesn't provide this type of presentations (list with names and sound clip for every sound)
