R44 Update Observations on Abacus Instrument
1. No trial periods are now available (But see later)
2. More Factory Pre-sets (13) in Arabic tuning
3. Split points when touched show the additional split points added with Selector Plus, even if Selector Plus is not activated. (Presumably for Scala/Louvre users)
4. Selector Panel Advanced: Selector Plus volume combination check boxes still shown, without Selector Plus being activated
5. Mixer Panel: New FL2 Pre-set added
6. Effects Panel: New FL2 Reverb Added
7. Settings screen: Language: Nederland’s has now appeared in drop down box
8. Drum Edit Screen: New drum sounds & drum kits for FL2 (FL2 must be activated for use)
9. Activation Screen: 4 New Options Shown
A. Klaus Wunderlich Pack
B. Franz Lambert Pack 2
C. Sound Factory
D. Styles 2011
In addition when any none activated option is highlighted, a new button appears for Test Activations, however this still brings up the Activation Screen. (Although undocumented, this test option has been available (In a different form) since OAS 7 was launched, but has now been bought to the fore)
10. Software Installation Screen: Load from Floppy & CD buttons have now been replaced with a single Software Installation Button, and when pressed it scans all storage devices (Including any USB connected devices) for the Install File. (Thus you no longer have to manually point to USB if you wish to upgrade via this option)
11 Log File Screen: R44 shows double note triggering in OAA has been improved (As I do not have the OAA, I cannot confirm this)
12. Demos: Mp3 demos of the new FL2 pack are now available in Quickload screen
Additional Information:
Styles 2011 require the OAA and Drums 2007 to also be activated.
FL2 Requires FL1, OAA, OX7 and Drums 2007 to be activated, in addition for best results on smaller instruments; the Selector Plus should also be activated.
Sound Factory is Stand Alone (Not recommended for those with Low Power CPU and Limited Ram)
Klaus Wunderlich Unknown at present; however in the latest Wersi Direct Newsletter a 4th option is mentioned as near completion.
Loading went without problems, (Upgrade) and after playing around with it a good while I have not yet found any bugs. (Haven’t activated any of the new options for testing as yet though, hopefully will have time to do so next week)

Is there a charge for this upgrade bill or?....good luck with it. It's great that you didn't have to buy another KB to get all this.

Hi DNJ
The upgrade is free, however the options cost. (Just like the premium voice packs on the Tyros range)
The main difference between the way Music Store do it, and Yamaha do it, is that you can get a temporary activation code from Music Store or a Wersi Service Partner, so you can actually try them out, and then decide if you wish to purchase them or not, whereas with Yamaha you only have mp3 files to listen to, (With no indication of what recording equipment was used, and usually played by a professional demonstrator) and if you purchase them (On the strength of the demo) and find you cannot make them sound like the demo on your board, (For whatever reason) your stuck with them, as well as having a lighter wallet.
