A question, or rather a observation that I would like to see confirmed by other users :

Apparently if the files for a registration bank are all in the same folder on the USB, It doesn't matter where the USB is plugged in (above, behind or under), the files will be found.

In other words : I put a USB in one of the USB ports.
It will become USB 1 and the path will be I:/...
On this USB I make a registration with a Style.sty, Midi.mid and Pad.pad file that are all in the same folder on this USB.
So the registration will refer to the items as I:/Folder/Style.sty  I:/Folder/Midi.mid   and   I:/Folder/Pad.pad

Removing this USB and putting another USB in the keyboard will make this USB 1 (I:/).
As second USB I put the USB with my registration that was made when it was I:/, but has become now J:/ (was placed as second USB).
I load the registration from that USB, that was refering to the paths as I:/..., result: the registration does find the files to load, even if they where refering to I:/ paths in the registration.



I found out that my explication was not correct.

Correct. The first USB plugged in is USB1, regardless of the port. The 2nd is USB2, etc.

Note that the Genos, and presumably G2, will search all ports, so the drive letter doesn't much matter.
