I did what I could in 10 minutes... probably shouldn't have used the 202... would have freed up more time to get a proper track together

No stress bro it’s good to see entries come in regardless:)

MK2 arrived yesterday..
firmware 2.0
It seems that MONO mode was dropped out completely?
Thus MK2 works always in STEREO mode?
Thus 16 voices polyphony limit?

In PITCH/SPEED, hold shift, if you pan hard left or hard right, it plays the sample in mono

Ah, OK. Now i get it.
The option is not available in sampling mode, but on sample editing. OK.

I finally got off my butt and confirmed once and for all that yes the mk2 is 32 note polyphony if you load mono samples. Blog post with links to videos and test project are included here for anybody who is interested

This is the last update to the guide for firmware 2.01, I just wanted to try and close out on a few remaining things (mostly the midi section) before moving over to updating the guide for the recent firmware 3.0 release.
