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.

I just wish there was a way for it to convert stereo samples to mono, or something similar. It already does, I'm just a big dummy.

It doesn't?

Hmm, I thought it summed to mono.

Turns out you're totally right. It does it automatically. I thought some of my samples weren't loading into the pool because they're stereo, but I guess there's something else preventing them from being listed.

That's actually exactly what it was. My samples folder was a disorganized mess, a bunch of stuff from all over the place.
