What i'm wondering is: Can I map buttons on my main Itch Hardware (in this case an NS6) to do functions other than the one's they are designed for?

specifically: i have no need for a sync button, can i reset the two sync buttons on my NS6 to control the hotkeys of my choice?

I understand I could get an extra unit and map it according to the instructions on the article above, but I want to avoid an extra box and just want to change the functions of the buttons that I am currently not using.
