And listening to music on headphones was always awkward because of that. Perhaps the author meant that they use a special cable to blend the two outputs a bit (e.g. 70/30% like some software MOD players do). Or perhaps the tracker plays the same sample on two voices? Looking at the demo video, it does look like they have a splitter plugged into one of the audio outputs. Edit: I seem to remember that later Amiga models automatically mix to mono if only one connector was in use. They must be doing this because of the hard panning. It makes sense for a DJ, too, because at times you might be wearing headphones only on one ear.
