Hi Jesusute,
If you think you did everything right with the installation on the keyboard, but then you cannot find the installed Expansion Voices, it is probably because you are in the "wrong" Mode:
The File Selection displays on the keyboard are always
filtered by file type, i.e. in the
Style Selection displays you only see Styles, in the
Registration Selection displays only Registration Bank files, etc.
In order to see and load the Expansion Voices, you have to open the Voice Selection display for a certain Keyboard Part (e.g. Right 1), then navigate to "User > Expansion" and select the desired Pack folder there.
Otherwise, the correct way to install the Packs is:
- Export your Instrument Info file (.n27) from the SX700 to a USB stick.
- If not already done so update the Yamaha Expansion Manager (YEM) to version 2.8.1.
- Import the .n27 file into the YEM.
- Import the desired Packs (using "My Packs > Import Pack").
- Click on your Install Target (PSR-SX700).
- Make sure that all the Packs to be installed are SELECTED. This means, the big Pack symbols (in the upper section of the YEM window) have a light-green tick and when you click on a Pack symbol,
all the content items are selected in the lower section of the YEM window.
- The Expansion Memory of the SX700 is only about
400MB. At the top of the YEM window you can see (if the Install Target "PSR-SX700" is clicked) the memory consumption of the currently selected content. Make sure that for "Voice Wave Size" the value to the left of the slash is smaller than the maximum value to the right of the slash. The fact that the maximum value has been exceeded can also be seen from the fact that the color of the bar below changes from green to red. If this is the case, you have to de-select some Packs or at least some content items inside a Pack. (In the latter case, the "big" tick of the Pack symbol would change from light-green to dark-green.)
- Click on "Save Pack Install File" to save your Pack Installation file to the connected USB stick. (It is best to save it to the root directory of the stick, not into a folder.)
Note: If at least one
protected (.
cpf) Pack is involved, select the File Type ".
cpi" in the dropdown list. If
only unprotected (.
ppf) Packs are involved, select the File Type ".
ppi".
- Connect the USB stick to the SX700.
- Go to "Menu > Expansion > Pack Installation".
- Select the Pack Installation file on the USB stick and follow the display instructions.
- Finished!
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
