No, that's not the one, but thank you for sharing the link. In the specific video I am referring to, they play many of the Genos styles, including the intros and endings and to my ears it sounds EXACTLY like the style demos I've heard of the Genos itself.

In any case, I find it hard to believe that the Genos sounds better than this in real life - but not having one I am not going to argue. And I've listened to a few Genos demos... What I CAN say is that in these demos I hear a VAST/MAJOR improvement over my standard S770 onboard sounds.

In my opinion a PSR 970/975 plus 60 USD software is going to give one the absolutely best value for money that can be had with any currently available arranger. In South Africa for instance the S975 cost a sixth of the price of a brand new Genos. So in this instance this upgrade makes a LOT of sense.

If I can only find a version of YEM that would work on Windows XP, I'll install some of those on my S770 and post the recordings over here for all to compare. Unfortunately I find myself in a position now where I HAVE to use 15 year old technology and I love tinkering with sounds and styles.

Yes, I'd be quite interested in such a pack made for the S-770 that would content Genos styles and drum sounds first and formost. And then whatever more it could get in a small memory as 770 has...

I installed this on my PSR S970. To me it sounds wonderful. It is a little over 616 mb in size.

Is it OK to post the link. I don't want to break any rules. I don't play the arranger any ware near as well as you guys. I got this after hearing on other forums that it worked for others. I had to pay $70.00. I think it does sound great. I did notice a number of styles are missing a voice from one of the 4 variations. I don't know if this is something I did wrong or not. I emailed them about it. It was no problem to go to the voices that were installed and pick one. Let me know if it is OK to post the link and I will.

Jingleman, I am in Lehigh Acres, FL. Maybe you can come and tell me what you think. I need to change my location in my profile.

I don't know if anyone tried to PM me on this, but I noticed in my profile that it had my old email address. I have updated it but waiting on the forum to send me the confirming email to activate it.

Solomon: you can private message me with the link if your concerned. Third party add on’s are pretty much a buyer beware option. As far as I know...posting the link is only sharing information. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.

We post all sorts of links over here. There is absolutely no reason for you not to post the link. Please go ahead. Nigel is not childish in the least.

There are quite a few looking forward to purchasing this Pack for themselves and we are keen to hear first hand recordings from actual users over here.

If my PSR S770 had more memory, I would have been the first one to post those recordings for all to evaluate for themselves. If only I could I would have immediately upgraded to the S975 so that I could also install this package.

I am seriously considering putting my Audya up for sale here in South Africa so that I could do just that...
