Grains of Wrath not loading all samples and/or using all live voices

[fiddlercrabseason]

1. When sending 16-channel poly signal into 'Live Input', only channels 9-16 are recognized & used for grain generation. (see attached 20250107_GOW_01.jpg) For the time being, I'm send channels 1-16 of audio into GOW via poly channels 9-16.

2. When loading a directory, more often than not only 8 channels will be used for grain generation. (see attached 20250107_GOW_02). Usually this will only load channels 9-16, but I have experienced only channels 1-8 being loaded I can load each channel individually and then get grain generation from all 16 channels. But loading a directory usually only results in half the channels being used.
