Here's my conclusion about the situation:
- the Yamaha Expansion Manager may or may not convert custom voices that use Tyros-4 (or Tyros-3) internal voices
- according to Yamaha, custom voices that use internal samples of previous Tyros arrangers cannot be used on Tyros-5
- even if the custom voice is using only "User Waves" the converted voice cannot be installed on Tyros-5 if
the wave data is not "compatible" with Tyros-5
- there is no guarantee that the situation would get any better with the promised new (Spring 2014) version of
the Expansion Manager: in the best case it could, but in the worst case not
It is instructive to read what is actually said in the Tyros-5 FAQ about this:
- Q:How can Tyros5 handle Voice edit?
Voice set can be edited on Tyros5. Further Voice editability will be available with the future version of Yamaha Expansion Manager.(Scheduled to release in spring 2014)
This is so vague that it doesn't guarantee anything.
