Just purchased a Genos 2 and had so many expansion packs included in the package for download from the Yamaha site I had a devil of job until I watched this video. Thank you so much for your clear and precise instructions Leigh. I have got the eighties synth loaded and will load the others as I go along.

I really like your calm voice in explaining the step by step intructions. Your very clear instructions are invaluable. Thank you!

Fantastic! After struggling and struggling to install my new expansion pack on my new Genos, I came across this video and it gave me all the information I needed. Your step by step explanations and instructions were perfect. I didn’t find anywhere near as much detail in the manuals or on line and the installation just didn’t work before I discovered this video. Thank you so much.

Hello Leigh, while struggling with YEM and trying to get information on how to install ppf files on my new SX900, I by chance found your video and that was my lucky day!! A thousand thanks for your fantastic video that is precise, concise and very easy to understand and follow. Exactly what I needed. I have subscribed. :)

I also want to THANK YOU.. I most of the morning getting nowhere talking to yamaha. I had 6 packs from Tyros. You made it so direct and concise.

Dear Leigh - I have a PSR S970 and have had many issues with YEM and USB & Exp Packs. Now having followed the above tutorial I now know what Ive been doing wrong and its now working so just wanted to say a huge 'Thank you' for making your tutorial step by step with excellent explanations which is just what I needed - Pity there aren't more of these quality '970' tutorials (In English) for us beginners !

A clear and simple explanation. I struggled with downloading and installing and even bought a USB cable but realised after this video I don't actually need it. Thanks for the explanation.

Wow!! This is without doubt the best tutorial I have come across. You explain everything thoroughly and in a way that is very easy to grasp. I am glad I have found you. I have Subscribed, and will definitely be coming back for more!!

Hi Leigh. Thank you for that. Explained clearly in normal language. New pack now installed. Brilliant. Thanks again. Dave

Thank you for making this tutorial. I found it extremely useful. I have come from Korg to Genos, so it's a bit of a learning curve for me! Your instructions are easy to follow.

Really great tutorial Leigh, thank you. I now know why it didn't work when I tried - I was doing it without instructions and missed two steps!!

Hi Leigh, Just like to say this is an excellent tutorial. if all tuturials were like this it would be easy to complete your tasks. Thanks a lot you deserve a subscribe Cheers Les.

Many thanks for this easy to follow tutorial, very clear and straightforward process.

Well done Leigh. We still have a Tyros5 in our keyboard stash although rarely used. We spend most of our time using VST's from within Logic these days.

Thank you for making this so clear.. which Yamaha' guide does NOT... It is completely unfathomable, that Genos has a cabled connection to computer (Genos to Device) and they don't use that'. I wasted over an hour trying to get their WIFI connection to work.. But I do LOVE the keyboard, so I have to put up with this stuff..

Thank you for making this tutorial understandeble for us "grown ups" Keep up the good work

Your video helped me a great deal. thanks. Keep your tutorials coming.

This video helps to understanding easily, how to install expansion packs. Thankyou so much...

One of the best tutorials I have even seen. Well done ..

Super klasse dieses Video. Dank Ihrer Mühe die Sie sich gemacht haben konnte ich die Prozedur einwandfrei durchführen. Bestes Video in diesem Punkt !

You have made what appeared to be a daunting procedure very easy. I used it for a Yamaha SX900. Many thanks.

Perfect introduction to the YEM for Genos users.

The best video to ever exist. I have been trying for 5 hours now and this one finally works. Thanks sooooooooooooooooooooooo much leigh!

Thank you Wilbraham for your clear tutorial

Hi Leigh, fantastic tutorial video once again. It may be worth explaining using expansion manager over WI-FI and the pitfalls of not saving it correctly. Yes, it happened to me 🤦‍♂️Took me half a day to correct my mistake.

Nice clean step by step info THANK YOU

finally got it thanks

Thank you , Outstanding tutorial . Regards, TotallyKenny

Fantastic! Thank you Leigh

Thank you! It's working ❤❤❤ subscribed 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍

thanks for good useful video , god bless i need to find the other ones.

Thanks - your tutorial is very clear and I have finally been able to load the Genos Superior Pack and actually play the new styles! I'm just appalled at the Expansion Manager. It could easily be improved to guide the user through the process. It feels like a piece of test software. I first tried to create an installation file on my USB stick using the quick install format. For some reason, my Genos (firmware 2.0) gave an error message that indicated that it needed the installation to be in the normal format. After re-creating the new slower installation file, the pack loaded from the USB stick without a problem. It did take several seconds to load. The whole process has taken about 3 hours and a lot of walking up/down stairs between the instrument and my PC.

Excellent tutorial, thank you

goed uitgelegd dank je wel

Thanks Leigh very useful 👍

sorted thanks..quick and easy.

Best tutorial, thanks.

Hi, thanks for such a good tutorial. Where’s the best place to purchase expansion packs as the Yamaha site is limited? I have a PSR SX 700. Thanks

Thanks for this video

Well teached bro. Tnkz

Great video! Can you tell me please if you have to create a new PackInstaller for each pack you have, or do you only have to do this once? I'm assuming once PackInstaller is created, any further packs you put into the Manger can be found under the originally created Installer but I could be wrong. Thanks

Hello Leigh. Thanks for this video. I had a PSR S970 and had problems with the YEM , which I think was the cause of multiple crashes on the machine . If I have a pack installed and everything is OK ,and I decide to buy say, two more packs at a later stage do I have to delete the first pack and make a new 'three in one ' install file ? I also wonder how can you audition a style/voice when you're making up a new pack . Sorry to ask you all this but at the time I tried in vain to get help and I ended up ditching the keyboard. Now I'm tempted to get the new PSR SX900 so any help would be appreciated . Many thanks in advance , Kieron.

Very helpful. I’m curious where is the video for finding the voices

Very helpful

Excellent tutorial sir. I recently purchased from the Yamaha Software company the Salsa Voice Expansion style Software. I'm still waiting for it in the mail. Do I do the instructions as in your tutorial when I install it? Would have to use a blank USB , to my computer to install it?

Leigh your video first class, I've just loaded Magic Dance on my Genos But only right hand sounds play The dance styles don't load, Can you help on this.

Hello, I was wondering how I can load my pack that is a .ppi file on to my Yamaha expansion manager?

briliant video well done for posting cleared up a lot of problems puting packs on my genos but can i ask does this work the same way with styles and registrations as well greeting Edward

I would be interested to know how to download the Tyros 5 styles from the download page and install onto Genos as I haven't figured that out yet

Just one thing I would like to know. I have downloaded some packs for the Genos from the Yamaha MusicSoft site. They have downloaded as ZIp files. I assume I have to unzip them first, which is not a problem, but I notice that there are multiple files inside (not just one item as shows in your video) How do I install these please............I am assuming I just highlight them all?

Thank's a lot! Where can I find the next video?

Hey Leigh. Just wondering if you have heard anything about the status of converting cpf files into the YEM 2.10 for Genos2. So far, I have plenty of voices that I'd like to be able to use in Genos2 like the SA2 Pan Flute, etc with no results whatsoever. Waiting on Yamaha's conversion or any other solution you may know around?? Great content in your channel by the way. Congrats on your 10K+ subscribers!!!

Thank you for this video. How come these things are not in the manual?

Thanks alot

Hi, can you also save from Cubase and load it on there? If yes. How should I save in Cubase to get into it

Hi Leigh, can you export a pack of genos to another keyboard eg, tyros 5, using expansion manager

Very clear explanation. Just one question. Is it possible to import genos 1 packs to the genos 2?

Great video but - I have the problem that the file saved from the Genos to the usb is an empty file - 0 Kb's. When I export I do not get any error messages, it tells me that the fil .N27 is saved on the usb. My usb is not blank but neither is yours? It is saved in the rrot of the USB but empty :-( Any ideas?

Hello I was wondering if youv could help. I have a Yamaha Genos. I was able to add 2 expansion packs to the keyboard by following this very helpful video. After that I have tried adding more packs and I can't get YEM to create a pack, it starts but then it just stops like 5 seconds after it starts no matter which packs I try. It's really puzzling and I was wondering if you could give me any advice please. Thank you very much. From Canada.

Hi, please could you tell me how to load more Expansion pack to Genos, because I already have one installed and when I tried to load a new pack, the existing expansion pack has been deleted. Thank you

Where to find part 2

Hi Leigh, like everyone else that have watched this video, crystal clear. Thanks very much, although, having loaded and inserted the usb into Genos containing expansion pack, I've got the message, 'can't execute quick installation, install with a full installer (.ppi/.cpi). Does this mean turn off, and turn on again holding down the start/stop button? would appreciate your help.

We kindly ask for your help, and we respectfully suggest that the yamaha Extension Manager be made simple and easy for our visually impaired people.

Can someone please tell me how I install sf2 files on my psr s910? Or packs on it or connect it via LAN to my pc or whatever... Nothing works..

Hello Liegh how can get on my computer the website that you use for the Expansion manager that you use on your video of your computer? Iam having trouble looking for that same site that you have on your video. I already did the first part by adding the USB into the Expansion on Genos. Now I want to start the the procedure on your video and I cannot find that site what you use on your video. I need help please reply as soon as you can. Thankyou and have a Happy Thanksgiving

Hello, how can i connect my keyboard to my computer? I have to connect my keyboard to the computer first, don't I?

Thanks Leigh...very nice video... I use PSR S950.. It has a pack already installed in it.. Can I upload more than one packs in it at a time, if not, how can we secure the already installed pack before installing a new one..

Forgot one thing Leigh. When I try to import a pack from Yamaha, I unzip the pack to see the file with the .cpf extension. When I click Import Pack, it doesn't recognize the the extension. So, I can't import the into the Expansion Mgr. I tried to Install the Installation Pack from the Genos1 and that didn't work, even with the Genos 2 information.n27 file. Don
