Hi bobn1944
At 79 I changed my Tyros 4 to an SX900 October 2020, ...
... My main problem is changing files from the T4 to SX900, but I press on. UVN files have me at a disadvantage at present as I can't get the reg manager to accept them, so there has to be another way. ...
Hi meyrick,
.
UVN and .
UVD files are Tyros3/4
Custom Voice files (no
Registration files). Therefore the
Registration Manager (YRM) cannot do anything with it.
However, you can import .UVN / .UVD files into the
Expansion Manager (YEM) and then install these Voices on the SX900:
- Use at least YEM V2.7.0 (better the current version 2.8.1).
- Create a new, empty Pack with "My Packs > Create Pack" (or use an existing, own Pack).
- You can now import UVN or UVD Voices into this Pack (via "Import Content" or by dragging with the mouse into the lower right area of the YEM window).
By the way, you can even import Tyros4 Custom Voice
Library files (.
UVI) directly into the YEM
as a Pack (via "My Packs > Import Pack" or dragging with the mouse into the upper part of the "My Packs" window. However, all .UVN or .UVD files used (linked) in the relevant Library are located on the computer in the same folder as the library file (.UVI).
Note: What has been described will work best with .UVN/.UVD Voices, which only use their
own samples. Problems could arise with .UVN/.UVD Voices that only use Tyros4 preset samples. The latter can be recognized by the very small file size (only a few kilobytes).
There are also .UVN/.UVD Voices that contain their own samples, but also use Tyros4 preset samples. Again, there could be a problem (namely that the Voices do not sound as expected after installation).
In case of doubt, I recommend simply trying it out, i.e. simply importing all possible .UVN/.UVD Voices into the YEM, then installing the Pack on the SX900 and testing the Voices there. You can then delete Voices that are not working or that are not required from the YEM. Important: Don't forget to save the Pack(s) you have created yourself on your
computer (as a .
ppf Pack file via "My Packs > Export Pack").
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
