### 1/5 — Error -2 always screw this up

*2026-06-01*

I’m not sure why this happens, but this happens. Error -2 keeps on happening even when I’m downloading one style instead of many packs of thing or a Category. Even Google Gemini couldn’t help me a said that the error -2 is stubborn just like I can’t stop it from happening. I Told Gemini about this, and it been a week since that thing still happens. Even Gemini questions why this still happen, when i attempt to make it stop. I have to Tell Gemini and Opera AI about this, but had no clue why this happened. They just tell me to use Yamaha Expansion Manager to download a Category (which require a USB stick (any USB stick), a Category, a computer, and PSR-SX720 (more likely used on PSR-SX920 or Genos2), (maybe a YouTube video about it). I’m not showing hate about Yamaha’s Career or the brand, but the single error -2

### 5/5 — Tolle Idee :-)

*2025-11-09, version 1.0.2*

Also für alle die den Yamaha EXPANSION Manager nicht mögen, ist das eine Chance, mehr aus ihrem Arranger Keyboard herauszuholen. (Genos2, PSR-SX920 etc.)

### 1/5 — Wish it would recommend styles I already have

*2025-01-09*

It recommends styles you can add but not ones you already have.

### 3/5 — Gute Idee Aber!!!!

*2024-10-17, version 1.0*

Hallo Yamaha. 
zunächst einmal vielen Dank für die neue App. Sie ist zeitgemäß und wirklich interessant. Aber um ehrlich zu sein, sind viele der Sounds und Styles ziemlich veraltet. Wenn ich zum Beispiel die türkischen Styles betrachte, ist es wirklich enttäuschend, dass ihr so etwas zur Verfügung stellt – das ist absolut nicht mehr zeitgemäß! Die Klänge und Styles wirken fast 20 Jahre alt, es fehlt nur noch die Edi Zurna, dann wäre das Bild komplett.

Warum stellt ihr nicht die modernen Sounds und Styles vom A5000 Türkisch zur Verfügung? 
Gruss iSi
