Hi, I'm new to the 2500. Samples I load via USB come through (brand new) headphones as mono. Any ideas, friends?

What headphones, what does the plug actually look like?

Are you using an adapter and if so what does it actually look like?

Are you samples mono in the computer to begin with?

Mono as in "I am only hearing the signal on one ear"?

Or as in "I am hearing the signal on both ears, but the stereo information is lost and everything comes out of the middle"?

Thanks for your reply. Mono as in only coming in through one ear.

it could be your original samples.
it could be your headphones are broke.
it could be your headphone jack is broke.
it could be you have your samples set to only play out one ear via panning.
have you tried sampling direct into the machine? if that works, then the issue is your samples from your computer.
have you tried a different pair of headphones? if that works, then the issue is your headphones.
if none of that works, then check your software settings again, but at that point it looks like your headphone jack.

try different things.
