Can someone help me with my sx700? I try to install any pack on the keyboard and I get an installation error, I even tried the yamaha packs and it still doesn't install, I changed all types of USB, the pack installation error still comes out
Hi Osbermusic,
You wrote that you installed the current firmware V1.11 on your SX700. Please make sure that you also have the current YEM version 2.9.0 installed on your computer.
If you are still using an older YEM version, be sure to install V2.9.0. Under Windows, the old YEM version should be uninstalled beforehand under "Apps and Features". (The already imported packs are retained.)
Delete the current SX700 Install Target from the YEM. Export the Instrument Info file (.n27) again from the SX700 to a USB stick and re-import the file into the YEM. Delete all previous .ppi and .cpi files from the used USB stick before saving a new Pack Install File there. The reason is that the YEM sometimes has problems overwriting an existing .ppi/.cpi file properly.
If it still doesn't work, I recommend deleting all packs from the YEM, then importing only one Yamaha pack and testing whether the .cpi file created from it can now be installed on the keyboard.
By the way, to completely reset the YEM, e.g. after a new installation of the YEM, I recommend deleting or renaming the YEM user folder. The next time the YEM is started, a new, initialized folder will be created automatically. If you do not know where the YEM User folder is located, please get in touch here again and indicate whether you are using Windows or Mac OS.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
