All righty, back on the FX subject again.  I've almost totally given up on bothering to use them.  Essientially what I'm noticing is that the Command Station seems to work FX under "one for all and all for one" type conditions.  That is to say I can run effects under a global master heading, but from what I've been able to work out, I then lose control of being able to designate how much a given track is to be effected by the given master FX(s).  The work around to this that I've noticed seems to be to run FX under a specific channel/track, the only problem with this is that every time I try to do so all other tracks are effected in the same way that the sinlge track I want effected is.

Is there any way to assign a given effect to FXA, a given effect to FXB and then designate on a individual basis how much each track should be sending to FXA and/or FXB?

Respects,

Not quite (although this would make somewhat more sense than what
actually happens).

The effects setup (whether global or in a designated preset) sets the
effects for FXA and FXB, and also sets up four FX sends, each of which
has a send amount (percentage) for FXA and FXB. The individual presets
(more correctly, the layers) can choose which of these four send
channels to use.

Check my FAQ in the files section aaron, there's a whole chapter on the 
EFX sends and how to use them.  BTW, you CAN use the knobs to affect how 
much a track gets sent to an FX, even to crossfade between the two 
effects.  It's one of the Preset Patchcord, not the regular layer 
patchcords.  Aaron Epolitto posted a way to do this, but I can't find it 
in the message archives to repost.  Aaron?

You can do this, but you have to switch the box from "Master FX" to "Use 
Preset on Channel xx".  This turns on the FX control for the preset on 
the channel that you selected.  However, this does mean that the FX will 
no longer be saved in the pattern, but rather with the preset, which may 
or may not be convinient for you.

Once you've done that, you can hook up patchcords like rEalm says in the 
preset patchbay, if they're not already.
