(1) Take a look at the diagrams in the manual: (a) Output --> Tip-Ring-
Sleeve [TRS] Return/Send sub outs, and (b) Output/Effects Send Routing.

(2) Notice on (b) the diagram shows two comingled send systems--output 
and effects.  Think of them as separate systems first before trying to 
figure out how the comingled system functions.

(3) You have in effect 4 send busses. These are a function of synth 
settings (global and preset), NOT a function of the sequencer. (Also 
remember: channels [midi/synth functionality] are NOT tracks 
[sequencer functionality].

OUTPUT SENDS FUNCTIONALITY:
(1) Notice the Jack Detect switches. If there are no plugs in the sub 
outs, the output sends are routed to the main outs.

(2) The sub outs do not go through the effects processor. They are dry 
signals.

EFFECTS SENDS FUNCTIONALITY:
(1) With the synth part of your e-mu [global and preset settings], you 
can route audio signal to FXA and FXB via 4 sends.

(2) With each of the FX modules [A and B] you can set the % levels of 
each send.  

Hope this helps.
