Topic: Tons of new expansions ?

[soundphase]

We discussed a lot about free old expansions proposed on the yamaha web site

https://shop.usa.yamaha.com/en/downloadables/sound-expansion-library.html

I now think most of expansions for which there is no picture yet are new sound expansions for our Genos.

Is it your opinion ?

Not clear at all the Yamaha Web site ....

I'm so interested with orchestral expansions, that I wanted to buy them .... But now I hesitate a lot as I'm not sure it's adapted for our Genos ....

The Orchestral page does talk about "performances" which are a Montage/MODX feature rather than Genos.

I still don't understand what Yamaha are up to giving these packs away free. I'm grateful for them, though!

Sales of the arrangers have probably been dropping. So it was a choice between lowering the price of the arranger keyboards (which would not go over well with people who had already bought a Genos or sx900) or giving the expansion packs away for free.
