You cannot get the same sounds routed to both A and B outs. You can go to the EFFECTS screen and route one or more parts to out B, only then you will hear something.

go out of A audio out? i was left and right out of A..so i tried as was suggested left and right out of B and no sound...i have to set this up interally? how? the issue is going direct into the BR1600 recorder are 1/4" jacks and i dont think they are balanced? will this make a difference in the sound if i go out of the A outs?

Just use the A Left and Right outs, there is really no point in your doing otherwise, regardless of what someone might have told you.

Keep it simple til you get up-to-speed, Sam.

Is it possible for you to engage in a conversation without implying that someone is crazy, deaf, or otherwise defective?

The "B" outputs are not designed to function as your normal everyday stereo outputs. (You can assign patches to go through "B" in stereo, but there is little point in your doing so at this stage of the game) They are more designed to be mono outputs for one or more channels.

By default, everything comes out of the L/R "A" stereo channels. If you want something to come out of a mono output, you need to specifically configure it to do so. This is usually handled as a part of assigning outputs for sequenced material.

This is a common design feature of many synthesizers, samplers and workstations. Roland workstations have usually worked this way, as have most Akai, Emu, Korg & Yamaha models. Even the new $8000 OASYS operates in precisely this fashion. There is nothing sinister, unusual or conspiritorial about it.

Please resist the temptation to label everything you don't understand as somehow "too hard", "too confusing" or generally stupid, simply because it doesn't make immediate sense to you. It just makes you seem out-of-touch, easily frustrated, confused and generally not the kind of person people want to help or deal with otherwise.

And again, you really ought to keep things as simple as possible until you get more up-to-speed on this stuff.

If you want to read up on assigning the output of patches or tones (which is quite a bit simpler on the FantomX than almost anything else out there), please again, consult your manual (do you ever read it?) ... page 73.
