Donny, glad to hear you got things figured out. I’m about ready to head into YEM land...so your tips may be helpful.
Continued good luck with Genos,

Ok so I figured out that the new v3 playlist will only work properly if the bonus styles are loaded into the expansion area and not moved anywhere else (saved into user styles and so on ). So you can only have one expansion pack in the Genos at one time and if you want to have more you apparently can through the expansion software combine packs and make your own. This would be great and seems to work well with other packs except that the new version 2 styles pack is locked and you can’t combine it with other packs as far as I can ascertain.
‘Any help appreciated.

Hi Robbo.
You can add a lot of packs into Genos Expansion folder, at the moment I have 21 packs installed, and it still does not fill up the memory, not even before the update.
V2 expanded to 3GB+, so still room for twice as much as I have now.
When import new packs into YEM, every pack will show in the 'window'. Then you can 'tick' the ones you want to transfer so it shows a green V at each pack you want to install.
Because of thet the Expansion memory being formattet every time you transfer files, you must tick all packs you want to have installed EVERY time you add a new pack, or else only the one choosed will be installed.
This bothered me a lot at the start as well, that it was not as simple as just add the new pack. I had to learn it the hard way. 😁

The playlist that follow the stylepack is created to work after the installation as long as we do as said in manual.
Neither the styles or sound must be moved or changed names to after it's entered into playlist, if so, the 'route' to the 'goal' is not correct, and when press a songtitle, it will not find what it is looking for.

Edit: I can see some video posted now, and there are probably more to find if serach at YT.

Haven’t ventured there yet. Wish I could retire now so I could have more time to play.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, yes I watched the vids re how to combine packs but the V2 pack has a lock on it so you can’t combine with other packs. I wonder, do I need to export the the pack as another name and then import it back into expansion manager to be able to combine it? Will try stay tuned!

First up, I gather you do have vers 2.6 of the software?

When I bring up my expansion packs for my sx900 some of them have locks on the sounds ie the little drum icons don’t have locks, but the little keyboard icons do.

On the top left hand of the screen, under install target, there’s a little icon that says, PSR-SX900. When I press on that, I get a pop up, loading instruments data, then I get ticks on all those little keyboard items.

Is that the locks your referring to?
If not is it possible one of your other paks is causing the problem ie you need to put in a code.

Mmmmm, well finally for unknown reasons the v2 playlist and styles all work beautifully, but the bonus styles v3 won’t load properly un, think this is a bit buggy but will persevere as I like what I’m listening to so far, but expect there will be an update coming sooner rather than later. Could just be why the Australian site haven’t even listed the bonus v2 styles ect on the downloads page yet. Is it a regional thing? Mmmm not sure
