Go to page one of this thread and you will see it.

Hi Eileen,
  I checked page1 of this thread, but not found email address of Yamaha Music Soft.

Hi Sunny, 
there is no email adress at the page, at least as I have found, but scroll down and at the supportpage there is a contact-form.
Sadly it's complicated to use, or useless for those of us that's not have an US adress and zipcode.
We have to wait until the EU site is back. If it ever will happen .... 🤔

I totaly lost the trust in how Yamaha manage this site , all my purchases( payed a lot for them) from the past  are gone on my account .
And i dont get answers on my mails i send to Yamaha .
BIg big shame on them how they handle this  for such a large company

...... all my purchases( payed a lot for them) from the past  are gone on my account .

Same for me and probably others as too. My EU account is gone, and all history and purchases during the years after I bought T4 is gone as well. But my login deltails works at the US site, and most (except from the single style files) is downloadable for free.
Entertainer 2016 and Eurodance 2016 do still miss the Genos compatible files. Strange, because that's the very first two packs they converted and sold for Genos in 2017. 🤔 
Hopefully the EU site will be up and running again in not too long and lost data will be to find. 👍

[EileenL]

Well they did say the European site would take a month or so to get up and running properly. I think most people have managed to get there packs now from the American site.

[LaHawk]

Still don't know why they needed a total revamp of the website, when all they had to do was change the now free prices to $0.00

[Bachus]

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

You absolutely misunderstood me there...   thats not what i meant..
I was talking of the dynamics in a synth voice, where you use the velocity parameter as a form of CC to change  your sound.... a good example is using it to drive the filter resonance, as the harder you hit the key, the further the filter opens (or closes)

[Bachus]

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

Because of what they want to do with it in the future..

I understood they want to move the website to the US..
They are now adapting the US website for european currencies

I also understood from my German friends that Yamaha is cutting down the european department to just service, promotion and sales..  they are going to use 3rd party companies for developing sounds and styles..


This is just a tiny part of a massive opperation.

@Gunnar and @Arno,

The european order-database will be imported into the US one but that will take a little more time. Previous purchases are not 'lost'.

It's their new design/brand refresh - Has to be consistent across all their products.

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.

Yes, those two packs and a couple of others is now updated and contains Genos version as well.
You have to place a new order and download from the new links provided in the 'Library'.

[Karlos]

I downloaded Euro dance 2016 for Genos last night and it works fine, no issues so far.

[g4wfw]

Thanks missed the re-order part and was downloading from my library as advised by Yamaha. I Have now re-ordered and this time have got the correct packs.

[chopoland]

Ask, gentlemen.

Is this legal?

I am only interested in Celtic and EuroDance for Tyros 5

[ckobu]

Everything is legal, go to the web and download the free Pack.

[DerekA]

It's all 100% legal because Yamaha themselves have decided to offer the packs for free.

Nobody can quite work out *why* they decided to do it though, but we're grateful

[chopoland]

Thank you.

Too bad can't edit the names. I would have liked to be able to adapt them to how they are written on the default workstation, by deleting spaces, initial numbers...
