Hi radek1989,

first of all, welcome to the PSR Tutorial Forum!


Installing the Expansion Memory Module does not change the file system of the Tyros5. Only during the first Pack Installation the "Expansion" folder is automatically created on the Tyros5 hard disk "HD1" and subfolders with the names of the currently installed packs. (The system does not allow you to manually create a folder named "Expansion" in "HD1")


So if you have ...

- exported the Tyros5 Instrument Info file (.n27) to an USB stick,
- imported the Instrument Info file into the Yamaha Expansion Manager (YEM) as Install Target,
- imported the desired expansion packs (.cpf or .ppf) into YEM (or created your own packs in YEM),
- selected the desired content (or whole packs) in YEM,
- saved the Pack Install File (.cpi or .ppi) to a USB stick
- and then installed this file on the Tyros5 via "Pack Installation" function ...

... you will find the "Expansion" folder on the Tyros5 hard drive. It is located in the tab (drive) "HD1" at the top of the display page 1 (P1), visible in each File Selection display.

Note: Each File Selection display is filtered by file type. If you call the "Expansion" folder through the VOICE category button "Expansion", you will only see the expansion Voices in the relevant subfolders with the names of the installed packs.

To see the Styles contained in the packs, you must first open the Style Selection display (e.g., by pressing the display button "D" in the Main display). There you go to the tab "HD1", then to the "Expansion" folder and finally to the desired subfolder.

To see the Registration Bank files included in the packs, you first open the Registration Bank Selection display (press "J" Button in the Main display or press both "Regist Bank -/+" buttons at the same time, and then go to the "Expansion" folder.

Analogously, you'll go to call Multi Pads or MIDI song files contained in the packs. So you always have to use the correct File Selection display.
