What sound file formats are supported in the sampler?
aiff, mp3 and wav
What Soundfont formats are supported in the sampler?
dls and sf2
Can I modify the sampler soundbanks?
Not from within Keynality, however for sf2 soundfonts you can use the excellent polyphone editor.
I keep triggering system gestures when I use four fingers, how can that be stopped?
Go to settings ➔ General ➔ Multitasking and turn off "Gestures"
Why is the Export button greyed out?
You do not have iCloud or you have disabled iCloud for Keynality. Go to Settings ➔ Apple ID ➔ iCloud to turn it back on
When I press export or perform an import, nothing seems to happen?
You have turned off notifications. Press the System Settings button on the about page and enable notifications to turn it back on. Your presets are being exported and imported in the background.
How do I import a preset?
Email the preset to the iPad or put the preset on the iCloud drive. From the Mail app just press the file icon and select "Import with Keynality". On the iCloud drive press the icon, select share... then select "Import with Keynality". Import occurs in the background and you will get a notification when finished.
