Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I am totally new to Mac and Logic and am running a Yamaha Tyros. I 
cannot find voices other than GM. This wasn't a problem for me on a PC 
with Cakewalk but I am lost here. Can anybody help please as I have 
searched the files and cannot find any help there.
Rob.

In the Tyros, you have loads of voices (instruments) other than the GM.
In Cakewalk they are loaded as ini files.
I want these voices available as I have used a lot on previous work and 
am trying to get away from the PC. I don't want to have to revoice them 
all.
Hope that makes sense!
Rob.

Thanks a lot, I am just going now for the day, so will check that out 
tomorrow and get back to you.

No joy, it looks like I need multi instrument files that I don't have.
Thanks anyway.
Rob.

I use all outboard gear with Logic and set up the patches myself in 
accordance with the actual programs in my keyboards and modules. It's 
a bit time consuming, but once it's done you'll have it all the time. 
I keep my whole studio of keyboards inside the environment in my 
autoload song and just assign em to tracks as I go. Works well for me.

Thanks but gearvision doesn't seem to be working.

Checked and done all that but it is still only showing the 127 GM sounds.

God, I wouldn't know where to start. I have the time as I am retired but this is over my 
head. ( senile old bugger that I am)
