Topic: SENSATIONAL! Link for New Yamaha Packs: PACK BRAZILIAN 3

[overover]

Hi Pietro,

when Expansion content ist installed on the keyboard (using the "Pack Install" function and the .cpi or .ppi file created before with the "Save as Pack Install File" function of the YEM), the following happens:

The Wave samples of the Expansion Voices are automatically saved in the internal Expansion Wave memory (which has a size of 1024 MB on the SX900). This memory is basically of the same type as the Wave memory in which the samples of the Preset Voices are stored (so-called "NAND Flash Memory", a type of memory from which the data can be read out very quickly). The only difference is that the Preset sample data CANNOT be changed by the User. The installed Expansion Voices can be used in the same way as Preset Voices, but they are not accessed via the Preset button in the Voice Selection display, but via the Expansion button (as already mentioned by Eileen before).

All other contents of the individual Packs (except for the Wave samples) are automatically copied into the corresponding subfolders of the Expansion folder during the Pack Installation. (The Expansion folder is actually in the User drive. But you can only access it via the Expansion button in the file selection displays, NOT via the User button.)

While the Pack Installation, a .vce file is also automatially created for each Expansion Voice. This file is automatically copied into the respective Pack subfolder in the Expansion folder. These .vce files will later be shown in the Voice Selection display when you press the Expansion button there and select a Pack folder. So they are used to call up the Expansion Voices. The Voice Set data required to (automatically) generate these .vce files come from the .uvf files contained in each Pack file (.ppf/.cpf). These .uvf files (which are programmed in "XML") are not visible to the user. In the case of unprotected packs (.ppf), however, they are directly available as individual files in the YEM User folder ("C: \ Users \ <YourUsername> \ AppData \ Local \ Yamaha \ Expansion Manager \ Packs \").

I hope my hints help to bring some "light into the dark" ...


Best regards,
Chris

Wow!
great explanation ... Thanks Chris, Eileen

so in the case of a .ppf pack I can load it in YEM and manage all the Styles, Voice and Drumkit, save everything, or  just a group of these, exporting them to a new .ppf file and then
import them into another pack. In this case (.cpf) I can't do it. So I can't create a single Brasilian expansion pack, whit all Styles, voices end Brasilian drum kit...
(as I managed to do with mexican banda and mariachi / norteno ... which were all in .ppf)

I see a little light at the end of the tunnel

Yes, that's all correct. Pietro!

Hi Niceonetidy,

could you please describe the problem in more detail?

If I understand you correctly, you have imported the Packs into the YEM, and all contents are displayed there (both under "My Packs" and also when you click on your "Install Target" (e.g. Genos)).

It is now important that you select all the Packs that are to be installed on the Genos. Did you use the Wi-Fi connection to install the Packs on the instrument ("Send to Instrument" button) or did you use a USB stick ("Save as Pack Install" button) and then the "Pack Install" function on the instrument ?

And what exactly do you mean by ...

i  an see the brazil packs in Yam manager, but they are blank when loaded?

When you have installed the Packs on the Genos as described above, press "User > Expansion" and the folder of the desired Pack in the VOICE Selection display. You should now see all the VOICES in this Pack.

To see the STYLES, open the STYLE Selection display, press "User > Expansion" again and the desired Pack folder.

Please tell me where exactly your problem is now!


Best regards,
Chris
