I just downloaded the 80s Volume II, unzipped the file, and then copied both the 80sPOPr2.X6A and the 80sPR2.X4A files to my USB stick.
I am sure I am overlooking something simple, I have USER 1 and USER 3 customized to where I don’t want to overwrite them. I want to load to USER 2 only or do individual voices....my problem is I cant find the 80s Vol 2 voices listed under the 80sPOPr2.X6A or 80sPR2.X4A. I have downloaded both my available downloads thinking it was a glitch but the PDF file is showing the correct voices but not on the two X6A and X4A files.
Any ideas or correct steps to load this correctly?
Thanks for your support and patience!
Update....I have the MOXF8 and MOXF6, I tried loading the USB drive on my MOXF6 that has an empty 512 Flash board and when I load Voice and open USER 1 from the file 80sPOP.X6A it starts with Everlasting Glory. So I am concluding that I got a wrong download file instead of the 80s Volume 2. I left a voicemail with the 800 to try and resolve tomorrow. |

The Shop description indicates the Bank of new VOICES in this library LOADS to USER BANK 3. That means you must choose USER BANK 3 as the Source VOICE BANK in the ALL File, and direct it to USER BANK 2 in your machine. Is that what you have done? Are you entering File Mode from VOICE Mode? That could affect whether you see the VOICES listed. Per your EDIT: Is Everlasting Glory the VOICE found by Factory default in the USER BANK 1 number (1) position? If so, that USER BANK would appear to be LOADING as expected. To reiterate: The Shop description indicates the Bank of new VOICES in this library LOADS to USER BANK 3. That means you must choose USER BANK 3 as the Source VOICE BANK in the ALL File, and direct it to USER BANK 2 in your machine. |

I am entering File mode from Voice Mode. I selected 1BankVoice and then selected the new 80s X6A file and selected the Source User 3 Bank to User 2 bank. When I select ALL then it does not allow me to choose a User Bank destination and it loads all three User banks and they are not the voices from 80s Vol 2.
I have also selected Voice only then went into the X6A file and that allows me to look at the voice names and they are from the Preset MOXF voices.

Are you saying that you ARE able to see the VOICES in the ALL file in USER BANK 3 prior to LOADING(when you select Type=Voice), and they are NOT the new VOICES? (Yes, you must select 1BankVoice as the Type to LOAD 1 Bank...not ALL) |

Yes sir that is correct. As I scroll thru the 80sPOP.X6A in ‘single” VOICE load, it looks as if I have accidentally overwritten the file with my previous User 1-3 Bank voices. Sorry for the ignorance, very frustrating when I figure its my own fault here....LOL I am going to start completely over with the USB stick. thanks for your quick replies. |

I’m not sure, but the MOX (.X4A) version might have what you’re looking for. See both pages of this thread:
If you download and install my free moX-TEXT Windows application, you can easily see what’s in the .X4A file:

Now I am following you!! User Bank 3 on the new download file is actually 80s volume 1 that I already have....I understand now that User 1 and 2 are just the default banks if I load ALL completely.
Thanks again for your help |

Unless you (accidentally) are accessing your 80’s I ALL File instead of your 80’s II All File...double check that. Otherwise, is is possible that the ALL File download you were provided was inadvertently supplied as 80’s I instead of 80’s II! (In which case I am sure the Shop will get you straightened out) |

You guys are awesome!! I put the X4A file back on my USB stick and loaded 1VoiceBank and selected USER 3 as Source and selected User 2 as destination and IT WORKED !!!!!!!!!!
I have always searched thru this forum to get ideas and help in general but this is the first time I have actually posted needing help on something this simple. Thank you both for your quick response and your patience answering questions daily for all of us.
Thank you Thank you Thank you |

The PDF for Volume II that’s attached to a post in the first link I gave above shows that there are also Performances A01~A08 in User 2. You might want to check for them. They could be loaded individually to any available Performance locations, but you’d have to edit them to redirect any Parts that pointed to Voices located in Bank 3 to where they’re now located in Bank 2. |

Yes thanks for the info, I found the Performances and loaded only the ones I needed and did have to change the locations from User 3 to User 2 where I put them. Now I am loading the MOXF6 as well, so happy to have the MOXF6 as my top board and the MOXF8 as the bottom. In my opinion, Yamaha has the most realistic preset voices, amazing guru’s that create exact replicas that can be added as libraries and then this site with the expertise and kindness to help someone like me tap into some of the depth of these amazing instruments. Thanks again guys for all your help. |
