Hi Uli

I do not think that Yamaha actually reserved any memory for the Audio Styles in the Genos.  Yes they did on the Tyros 5.

Bill

Yes, they did. With firmware 1.10 you could load expansion audio styles using YEM, and there was 1 GB of memory reserved for this. This  limit was shown in YEM. With firmware 1.20 Genos was able to read audio styles from USB devices. So the internal flash rom memory for audio styles was not needed any more. So it was unused until now. Many users in German groups were waiting for Yamaha to give this unused memory free for expansion voices. I think that this will happen now.

(So I am not a believer of the lossless compression theory. Because this new limit would not work for Yamaha expansions, since they are already compressed. But using compression for user samples would be a great advancement. Nord can do this: the Nord sample manager does compress user samples for use in internal memory.)

Great...more expansion memory for me means even more bagpipes samples! a sound I use which always works to stop a new years eve gig going on too long especially if one makes excessive use of the pitch bender . It wasn’t the German scientists that developed the first military sound weapon , it was the Scotch ! Lol

For one, the website http://www.global.yamaha.com/ does not exist.

Next, we go from version 1.2 to 1.3 to 1.4 and now 1.41 then suddenly jump to 2.0?  ::). Phony if you ask me. Water cooler gossip at best.

Hi Richard.

It's not unusual to step up to next level version x.0 when major changes and/or addons is done.
The 'between steps' are often when bugfixes and small changes is done.
I think this 'addon route' is planned in many ways, not only because of what users whishes, but also how far to go before next keyboard version arrive.

Regaring the link that don't work, it is what was in use when the YT site was created in 2007. Not unusual that such old links are changed.
There is updated link beneath the old one.
( https://www.youtube.com/user/yamahacorporation/about )

Also Yamaha wrote when 1.4 was made public:
"It represents Yamaha's commitment to not stand still as we continue to expand an already incredible musical instrument... and the journey is not over."

I'm looking forward to the X-Mas present for my Genos. :)
Cheers 🥂

Hi Jan.
 
1.   Please tell me if this video is a fake one or it is made by you!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfrdEbbz1aM
 
Is this Yamaha_Global a fake channel?
Can Yamaha accept a fake channel which uses its trademark name in channels name or videos?

Answer:

Hi Vali,
how are you?

Yamaha Global is the official Channel from Yamaha.com
I guess they operate the channel from Japan or the US. Its no european work.

Hi Mike --

My guess is the Superior Pack will be loaded and handled like any other expansion pack. This seems like the simplest solution for Yamaha engineering.

I emphasized "guess" because no one really knows much about the update and almost everything in this thread is speculative.

Rather than wait around and think too much about too little information, I'm playing instead.  :)  :)

2. There are a lot of people that are "scared" to open a ticket to Yamaha and ask them things, and I don't know why.
3. My email has a list of requests, not only that "stupid" question, but I asked them in the name of all which had no confidence in that account. And now I assure them it is not a fake account.

It's already been said that neither the video and definitely not the channel are fake.
If you "google" Genos and look at yamaha's (usa) official page, you will see videos from the same YouTube channel.
That simple.Anyway....
Do you like the update or not?
Will you still keep an older version because you don't trust the team that created your Genos or not?
Do some of  you, still feel disappointed  because they have added new functions on the SX900 that your Genos doesn't have?
Do you become to understand the benefits of the new operating system that the Genos has compare to the Tyros line?

I think it's great Yamaha has upgraded the Operating System so they could add new features and more memory to first the sequencer and now the expansion memory.  I hope this is the case with the sx900 also.

The newest arranger keyboards are definitely a "bigger bang for the buck" than the previous models.

The update coming on Winter time so there is still time for Yamaha to accomplish work on "TERCA" unless is already done.

1. Note shift to all individuals tones +/-12 separate for R1,R2,R3
2.Tuning scale individual for R1,R2,R3
3.Base note-which we already have
4. Possibility to memorized in Reg.Memory all

This is what a lot of musicians dream since a long time ago....

Thanks Yamaha

I tried SX-900 and as I tough we miss next things to have perfect ability for "USER HARMONY" :

1. Note shift to all individuals tones +/-12 separate for R1,R2,R3
2. Possibility to memorized in Reg.Memory all (including SUB scale)

With that job for "PERFECT USER HARMONY" will be finished.

There is still time until winter.

Are you 100% sure about that, EileenL?
Initially I also thougt so, but when read svpworld comment, I started to have doubts about that. For example, how would they get memory increased from 1,8 to 3 GB without physical hardware modification?

As Genos owner I do hope it will be software update, but until I see it demostrated .... well, keping my figres crossed  :-\

Please read the entire topic before posting those affirmations ...  There already have been spoken before, several times...

... For example, how would they get memory increased from 1,8 to 3 GB without physical hardware modification?

The IC (Integrated Circuits) already exist there. The memory IS there, but for some reasons it was not allocated to user needs.
They now will allocate that memory to user need. So simple! (Korg did that too ;) )
So, please, no more questions about that!

As Genos owner I do hope it will be software update...

As a Genos user, I believe (and a lot of us here) ... Do it yourself and, meantime, let's focus on other things ;)

Vali

This is a Software update, not a new Hardware unit.

There's many ways Yam could have expanded memory allocated to the Expansion Packs:
- Genos has an internal storage of 64Gb (eMMC) and on this single hardware memory unit, they created at least 2 partitions (or 'logical unit') : one for Expansion Wave files, and one for the System (and Factory Wave files I guess … ) , they could have resized the Partition dedicated to the Expansions Waveforms, and reduced the System Partition because they optimized their system (which is Linux based, remember… there's a lot that can be done to trim a linux distribution size …)
- Do a real-time Decompression of Waves stored in the Expansion Partition. Not easy as it could slow down the switch from one wave to another, but still doable since decompression is typically much less demanding in term of processing power than compression (which should be done ahead of time, in YEM for example). Anyway, there's always a tradeoff between the time taken to read a compressed file + decompression itself vs the time to read a larger uncompressed file … If the Genos main processor is powerful enough and the (de)compression algorithm is really optimized, the time spend on decompression could be negligible and even negated by the smaller file size !
- Do some 'housekeeping' and apply the compression on the System partition (the Linux distribution) in order to trim its size, and reallocated the gained space to the Expansion Partition. (this is in fact a 'blend' of the two previous points)

Of course, this is only speculations from me, but as an I.T. pro, it makes sense to me :)

There's a lot that can be done on the O.S. level of the Genos to really unleash the Hardware power inside !

On a personal note, I really hope they fixed the annoying (and awkward) 'multiple DSPs on one Part' bug and usability qwirks …

Wait and see, but the fact that they announced a V2.0 is really promising !

That information does not say 8GB..
But 8Gb (bit as in small b)
Which equals 1GB
The information also says there is 2 of them, which makes for a total of 2GB
From which in os 1.4 and before about 1.8 GB was available to the user..

Quote
The Spansion S34ML08G2 8-Gb NAND device is Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) 1.0 compliant. The S34ML08G2 device is a dual-die stack of two S34ML04G2 die.

I can see hoe non techheads have a hard time what the quoted information from PJ’s site actually means..

So basically we are back again where we started.
There is 2GB physicall memmory in the Genos..
Meaning that to get 3GB of memmory, it requires (lossless compression)

We also know that Yamaha’s packs allready came in a lossless compression format
So this would probably mean that in Genos 2.0 yamaha’s own packs will be 50% bigger in size..
Which as Eilleen indicated makes this something that is good for people that use big 3rd party expansion packs,
 like the CMS grand piano packs, or the incredible KApro packs

Hi folks,

here is some clarification about the size of the physical Wave Flash memory inside the Genos:

There is 2 GB "NAND Flash" for the Wave data of the Factory Voices (the two ICs 607 and 610, 1 GB each) at the Master Tone Generator SWP70 (IC 400).

And there is 4 GB "NAND Flash" for the Wave data of Expansion Voices (the four ICs 601, 603, 605 and 606, 1 GB each) at the Slave Tone Generator SWP70 (IC 600).

Unfortunately, I do not know why yamaha does not make the full 4 GB available for Expansion Wave data with the Genos Update 2.0 (but only 3 GB) ...


Best regards,
Chris

➪ Everyone kept saying "That won't work!" - Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it.
➪ Never put the manual too far away: There's more in it than you think! ;-)

They are probably saving it for the next GENOS 2 keyboard.

Thanks Bachus for clarifying ... I quite read it in a fast way and I said a wrong thing about it.... sorry for that! :) I saw "8" and I did not take care about bit and not byte ;)

Best regards,
Vali

Folks, the discussion of expansion memory is getting on the nerves of other Forum members.

So, I'm starting a thread in the Yamaha General,section of the Forum. I also posted internal design info on my site http://sandsoftwaresound.net/

The discussion here really should focus on new features in V2.0 of interest to the broader member community.

Thanks -- pj

Maybe they are allready using this for other things?

Interesting information. I allways asumed both these where 2GB in size..

On the montage there is 8GB available.. which holds both the factory as well as the user sounds..
They have the same structure, but the seccond engine is used for FMX only..
The restrictions on the modx are only software..

Which brings me to my next question?
Why does Yamaha limit things by software at all?


But again, great info, seems we dont have to rely on compression if this is true..
To me this was new info, may i ask for a resource?
