Replacing new Electribe Sampler's samples?!

I'm having trouble replacing the initial stereo samples I loaded in the Electribe Sampler, before I released I would run out of sample time. So I made an exact copy of the files in mono and replaced them on the SD card. Unfortunately they still load in stereo... Thus I've still out of sample memory. Does anyone know how to remedy this? I would not like to wipe the entire machine because I have created some nice sequences that I want to keep!

Sorry if these seem obvious questions.....
Do you replace the new samples in the old samples slot?
After replacing them, do you "export all samples" or "export sample" from the menu?
Cheers

Did you re-import the mono samples over the old stereo samples and then export an allsample file?

If you havent I think it's just re-installing the stereo samples from your previous allsample file...

If you do an export sample - I *think* it just exports as a Wav. If you export as allsample i think it exports in the new esx format

Thanks for responding guys!

I've have already replaced the stereo files with the mono files on the SD card. The stereo files don't exist any more. I have also exported all the newly "Mono-ized" samples with "export all sample". The problem is... that the Electribe still sees the has them and has them operating as stereo files after that process. Also it's taking up twice the memory, and I can't figure out how to do something that should be relatively obvious!

Wierd. It seemd to be happening to me as well. If I export all samples and turn the tribe off the samples arent there. If I export all samples then write the samles have savde when I switch the tribe back on.
At this point the loading notice shows at startup.

Just to be clear, you are actually -importing- the samples, right? You keep saying you are replacing the files on the SD card, but this does nothing. Try putting the mono sample on the card, boot up, import the mono sample into the stereo slot through the menus, then Export All Samples.

That's exactly what I had been doing. After a reboot, the samples were no longer there.
If i import the samples through the menu (ie, pick a sample, assign it to a slot such as 501, 502 etc) , then export all samples. I then press the write button and choose any pattern (even if the samples aren't assigned to that pattern).
Next time it reboots there is a message saying "loading". Then I see my samples in the oscilator section where I'd put them. I didn't need to export pattern or anything.
That part isn't clear in the manual, but after I did that it's no problem for me to do it. Just an odd quirk.
If this isn't how it's meant to work I might get in touch with Korg to see what the problem is but I can't see it's a showstopper.
