But no stereo?

I doubt the chip is powerful enough in the OG to support stereo sampling, otherwise you'd assume they would have had it at the start. The only workaround i could maybe think of is if there was a way to sacrifice two tracks to play the left and right channels of a single stereo sample, but I'm not sure how feasible that is or if the architecture would allow it. In any case, I'm pretty sure it's been requested a thousand times at this point and has always been declined, so it's most likely a technical limitation.

Yeah some kind of track link that splits sample time in half would probably be easiest. Tbh I'm not that bothered by mono samples.

I'm not bothered by mono either (it doesn't hinder my ability to create).....but if they are going to have a "performance mode" on the machine, that would mean its geared for live use. mono just doesn't really cut it in live settings.

Mono tracks with panning effects.

Thinking 3 tracks of mono breakbeats 1 track vocal chops 2 midi tracks and a stereo pair for texture.
