Hi Bill,

Thanks for linking that YouTube demo by Leigh Wilbraham. It made me chuckle. I think this was a joke by Yamaha Engineers to showcase how their flagship arranger Genos2 can be made to emulate the sounds and styles of the Yamaha PS-30 Portasound released in 1981.

It would be a waste of time to install this expansion pack.

However, it brings back nostalgic memories. I was so delighted when I first purchased the Casio PT-8, followed by the Casiotone MT-70 and Casiotone CT-202. I had hours and hours of fun.

People would laugh at these toys today. They set the stage for modern arrangers.

Those were the days!
