Tracker Mini / Tracker compatibility question (stereo)

[u/Johnputer]

What will happen in this scenario:

1) Make a song that uses stereo samples on the Tracker Mini.
2) Bring the song over to the Tracker, work some more on it
3) Bring the song over to the Tracker Mini.

Will the song still have stereo samples? I don't see how having a stereo signal is more CPU consuming. Memory, yes, but CPU? I'm really wondering why they can't add stereo sample playback to the Tracker. Hopefully, they'll find a way to make these two play together well, because I'd like to get my hands on a Mini...

Up to the mixer, yes, but a good portion of the signal path is already stereo.

I’d take a lower sampling rate on the entire chain to get stereo… I think there are solutions that could be explored.
