Assignment Priorities

The samples uploaded to the Synthesizer Keyboard are assigned with the 

following prioritization:

• 

The correctly numbered files are each assigned to the corresponding key.

• 

If any filename is used (without the numbered assignment), the uploaded 
sample files in the folder are assigned to unoccupied keys in alphabetical 
order of the file name(s).

• 

If there are any keys that do not have an assigned sample, the unassigned 

(empty) keys are grayed out and will not play a sample.
