Topic: VCE sounds

[Pityus]

Is it normal that the SX900 instrument does not play all sound files with VCE extension?

[Joe H]

The .VCE file is a MIDI file that contains NO sound but contains only parameter data for the Left, R1, R2 and R3 Preset Voices that tweaks Voices when they loaded.  When we assign a Voice to a style Part or Multi Pad the VCE file does not load.  It only used for the Left and Right Voices.

If you hear no sound from a VCE file from another keyboard, then that means that Preset Voice is not in your keyboard.

I was able to extract the PPF and PPI expansion packs with one program.
There I found style and sound files.
There were some with VCE extension that sounded like a nice new sound, but some remained silent.
So what extension of new audio files should you download for the SX900 instrument?
Where can these be found?

You have to have the sounds on your keyboard... either Preset Voices or expansion pack Voices.  If they are not on your keyboard, then you won't hear them by loading a VCE file.  As I stated above, the VCE file contains no wave forms or sound; it is just a list of parameters shown in YEM as COMMON parameters.  When you load a pack in your keyboard from YEM those COMMON parameters are converted to VCE files.
