I don't know what build you are using, but that was resolved awhile ago, 
one CD build did that sometimes on mono or stereo samples, I forgot which. 
It wasn't the filter really that was doing it, it was something else.

I'll send you a temporary build that has new features on it, to make sure 
you're issue is resolved.

Most of the time you should translate Patches, that's the most common 
"Instrument Unit" in the Roland. However, sometimes those cheesy wacky 
Roland programmers (Hi Eric) used Performances to put together an 
"Instrument Unit" - drums are a good example. Translator will automatically 
put all that together. Best suggestion is to study the liner notes of the 
CD and see how they are laid out, and go from there.
