Installing Expansion Packs lets you add a variety of optional contents to the “Expansion” folder in the User drive. This
section covers the operations which may be necessary to add new contents to the instrument.
The file which contains the bundled Expansion Packs (“***.ppi” or “***.cpi”) to be installed to the instrument is
referred to as “Pack Installation file.” Only one Pack Installation file can be installed to the instrument. If you want to
install multiple Expansion Packs, bundle the packs together on your computer by using the “Yamaha Expansion
Manager” software. For information on how to use the software, refer to the accompanying manual.
1 Connect the USB flash drive in which the desired Pack Installation file (“***.ppi,”
“***.cpi,” “***.pqi” or “***.cqi”) is saved to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.
2 Call up the operation display via [MENU] [Expansion].
3 Touch [Pack Installation] to call up the File Selection display.
4 Select the desired Pack Installation file.
5 Follow the onscreen instructions.
This installs the selected Pack data to the “Expansion” folder in the User drive.
Installing Expansion Pack Data from a USB Flash Drive
You will need to restart the instrument after installation has been completed. Make sure to save all data currently being edited beforehand, other-
wise it will be lost.
• If an Expansion Pack already exists, you can overwrite it with the new one in step 4 below. You do not need to delete the existing data in advance.
• Pack Quick Installation files “***.pqi” or “***.cqi” allow you to add data as fast as your Voice Wave capacity allows. Before using “***.pqi” or “***.cqi” files, you need to
save them to the instrument.
If you want to delete the Expansion Pack data from the instrument, format the User drive (page 124). Note that doing so will delete all other data in the User drive.
Song, Style or Registration Memory containing Expansion Voices or Styles
Song, Style or Registration Memory containing any Expansion Voices or Styles will not sound properly or cannot be
called up, if the Expansion Pack data does not exist in the instrument.
We recommend that you write down the name of the Expansion Pack when you create the data (Song, Style or Regis-
tration Memory) using Expansion Voices or Styles, so that you can easily find and install the Expansion Pack when
necessary.
