Yeah, and that's what I hope is changed when Genos update V2 is onboard.
The first timme I installed packs, I could not see why the already innstalled was gone when add new.
Once you've learned about it, no problem, but the more packs, the longer time to load as the numbers grows.
Hopefully next is that we can add one and one........

I had an S950 in the past and it had 25 Audio styles but they are not the same ones found in the T5 for Genos download (as Genos does not natively have Audio Styles),

Those 25 audio styles are all found in the S970/S975 but with 15 additional ones.

For some reason Yamaha have separated the T5 and PSR S audio styles and deemed the PSR S ones better?? After all they are the ones on sale whereas the T5 ones are free downloads. Be that as it may, the T5 Audio styles are just as good in my opinion as the PSR S ones.... so its a little curious what Yamaha have done there, it's as if they just didn't know what to really do with them and eventually decided to flog a few to make a return then abandoned the rest and with it the idea of them completely which is a shame.

Hi Jonny,
happened to me too the other day, decided to try one of the free paks, installed it, and the 4 onboard Yem paks got wiped. So ticked all of them , loaded them, and everything was there.
Assumed I’d done something wrong, so confirmed if what I did was correct over on psr forum. Unfortunately it was. Has to be one big download. Be interesting to see if they do change it for the Genos, wouldn’t get your hopes up though. Fingers crossed.

Hmmmm .... thought I responded to this question. (gremlins?)
Anyhoo - I often start a song acapella (with harmony), and then kick on the drums. Yamaha doesn't allow the harmonies to appear unless the rhythm is running. (it may, in vocoder mode, but I use chord mode). This setback (for me) also makes it impossible to hold out a long note after the style has stopped. That's another thing I do a lot.

Hi Rikki,

Yes this is something that has bothered me a little as I would much prefer adding the packs as you go along whilst also displaying how much space you have left!! As at the moment you can't tell unless the SX900 fails to load a pack?

The error message I get is "failed to access data" but I am not sure if I've put too many packs in or if there's something wrong somewhere else.

Hi Dave,
I must have missed it, it was 6am when I started reading. Haha
Still in half sleep mode, so this may not be possible ,
but could a registration be used that silenced the style itself, rhythm is still running. There’s 8 registrations to play with.. Unfortunately can’t use a mic to test it.

First download the files from https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_...ml#product-tabs
Then install the Expansion manager in your computer. The rest was easy ... a bit time consuming, but follow the video, and it's simple. I now have 8 banks of Genos audio styles loaded in the SX900. The packs I installed are in the picture of the YEM. SUCCESS!

BTW - I found similar titles (ie: Canadian Rock) that sound much improved with audio instruments added. (duh) Haven't gone through all of them, but so far, only one swing style had a weird ride cymbal thing going on. I'll test them all out later today, and report as I learn.


The good thing is: now that you have the Audio Styles in the User memory of the SX-900 if you wish, you can copy all of them to a Usb-stick and no more worries of losing them when you have to format and install more data on the user memory using the YEM. Happy playing.

Hi Dave,
I turned the style part volume down to zero and saved it as a registration.
The chords change in left hand, no sound.
As soon as I press another registration, back to normal.
Maybe it might work for you with harmoniser, I can’t try it.
