Not weird at all. You are not thinking in terms of the CMI's architecture.

A sample is known as a "sub-voice". It can be either mono or stereo.

Sub-voices must be contained in a "voice" to be played (other then
auditioning direct from disk). A "voice" provides keymaps etc. A "voice"
can be either mono or stereo, but not both. This means you can not load
a stereo sub-voice into a mono voice and vv.

If you wish to sample in stereo, you must make a stereo voice (vc
*********.vc s). From then on, any sub-voice you create within that
voice will be stereo.

Yeah, I'm starting to understand this now. I've realised I can press 
<F5> and load a Stereo sample if this is the first sample loaded 
into the system, then other stereo samples can be loaded in place 
otherwise I create a new Voice/Instrument to load a Mono sample or 
even another Stereo sample... I'm getting there ;-)
