I’m pleased to announce the alpha test version of the Jazz Scat voices expansion pack for YEM-compatible Yamaha arranger workstations. Up to now, Tyros5 users have not been able to load and use the original Jazz Scat voices expansion pack. The new approach to expansion pack development and use is embodied in the Yamaha Expansion Manager, or “YEM” for short. With the Tyros5, Yamaha took a different direction and format for expansion packs. The original Jazz Scat voices expansion pack for the Yamaha PSR-S950 arranger workstation remains a popular part of the site. Click the Voice and Style Expansion Pack tab on the next screen. Install the Pack Installation file into your instrument via USB As a special bonus, download TWO FREE VSE packs right now to mix and match. Pick your favorite contents from the Expansion Pack Project files, and create an original Pack Installation file (.ppi) by selecting “Save as Pack Install File”. You want to make sure you are using YEM version 2.3 or later. Import the Expansion Pack Project files (the.ppf files) into Yamaha Expansion Manager. Method Two - Mix and Match Voices and Styles. Press the ENTER button, and press INSTALL. Use the Cursor buttons to select the Expansion Pack you want to install. Use the TAB buttons and Cursor buttons to select Pack Installation, and press ENTER. Connect your USB flash storage device to the USB TO DEVICE terminal on your keyboard, and then press the FUNCTION button to call up the display. Copy the Expansion Installation file (which is the.ppi file) into the root folder of your USB storage device. This option will load the entire contents of an individual pack directly into your arranger workstation following these easy steps. We will start with the “Direct Load” option using the.ppi file.

There are two easy ways to expand your instrument: Method One - Install One Whole Pack When you download your expansion pack from, it will contain 3 files – A.ppi file, a.ppf file and a Read Me file with brief instructions. YEM is available on both Windows and Mac operating systems. Once you select your choices in YEM, you can load that set into your new PSR-S arranger workstation.

Yamaha Expansion Manager (or YEM) allows you to select different voices and styles from the various packs in your library to create a custom “playlist” of favorite voices and styles. Yamaha MusicSoft is proud to announce the addition of Voice and Style Expansion packs for the new Yamaha PSR-S 70 series of Arranger Workstations! The best news is that you can load your own custom mix of voices and styles from different packs using. Expansion Packs for the PSR A2000, PSR S750 and PSR S950 have the same format. Expansion Packs for Genos, Tyros 5, Tyros 4, PSR S970, PSR S770 and PSR S670 is a new common format.
