Because many people would be trying to load a style or Multi Pad into the song sequencer, or load a song file as a Multi Pad or style file.  File masking goes all the way back to the Atari days, it's nothing new.

Please follow the instructions at the bottom of P.38 and top of P.39 on the section of "Copying or moving files" of the Genos Owner's Manual version D ( https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/7/1130977/genos_en_om_d0.pdf ):

You can copy or cut a file and paste it to another location (folder). You can also copy a folder (without move it) by using the same procedure.

1 Call up the appropriate File Selection display, on which the desired files/folders are shown. (In your case, you must be in Song mode to copy song files)

2 Touch (File Edit) to call up the File Edit pop-up window.

3 Touch "Copy" or "Move" in the File Management menu, to call up the display for selecting the desired files/folders.

4 Select the desired files/folders by touching each item.  One or more files/folders can be selected (highlighted). To cancel the selection, touch the same item again.  Touch [Select All] to select all items indicated on the current display including theother pages. To cancel the selection, touch [All Off].

5 Touch "Copy" or "Move" at the top of the display, to call up the display for selecting the destination.

6 Select the desired destination (path) to paste the files/folders.

7 Touch [Copy here] or [Move here] to paste the files/folders you’ve selected in step 4.

The pasted file/folder appears on the display at the appropriate position among the files in alphabetical order.

Thanks,
Paul

Rumney:
Thanks Paul - once again I am indebted to you  :)

Roland:
@rumney: The "file type masking" Paul is talking about also applies to every other file type. Meaning that if you want to find a Style, you need to be in "Style" mode. Or if you're looking for a "voice" you're in voice mode, etc.

But once you play with that a couple of times, you will find it quite easy to get used to.

Cheers, Roland

Rumney:
Thanks Paul & Roland - It’s nice to find such a friendly and helpful forum :)
