Fredo, not quite. Yes you are correct in your image - Audio channel → surround panner - but from here on is where things differ. I want to ignore the 6.0 FX channel - it is of no use to me in this particular context. I want instead to “separate” the 6.0 buss into 3 x stereo channels with stereo FX (not a single 6-channel FX). Maybe think of it as a multicore with a 6-channel loom at one end separating into 3 x stereo pairs (or whatever combination of singles and pairs you like) at the other end into multiple (e.g. 3) separate devices. Protools does this in the I/O setup (buss window), DP in the buss Matrix, Reaper somewhere similar to DP if you know any of these apps. And this example is just the start. With one joystick you can morph through combinations (or discrete as appropriate) of multiple parallel FX. It is the combinations and the moving between them where things get really funky - all with one finger.
