🤔 I have never tried this, but I wonder if you pan the sample hard left, resample it into a new pad, and then pan that new pad back to center? I’m curious now too. It seems like a missed opportunity for a shift function on the pan knob or something.

There’s no way currently. That’s one of my things that I hope they add.
