Ive just bought a hardware reverb unit wich i want to use within my scope system.
But when i add an external send bus, i can only see a mono output for that bus! On such a highly advanced mixer there has to be a way to use outboard fx with stereo ins!!
Is it possible in any way? Some routing magic?
Id really like to use my reverb unit in stereo

monitor aux (stereo) can be used as efx-send..
all the best,

Ah.. yes its true. Id wish it was another way, but at least it will work since im not using the monitor outs for anything else..
Case closed

stereo sends are not usually required. if it's reverb you are using, the reverb will create the stereo field. traditionally, hardware mixers do not have stereo auxs. it's mainly software mixers that have this feature....

Garyb. When I patch in a reverb I usually make two connections from the one pad into L & R. Are you saying that it's fine to mono and then get a stereo image out?

Gary is right, sends are normally mono-in, and you can connect the send to both inputs
Stereo-in would be interesting if you'd like to get reverberation that fits to the 'physical' position of the sound source in the imaginary room, or if the source is extremely wide-stereo with different left-right sounds.
Early reflexion times for example are different depending from the distance that a sound source has to the walls, and so does the reverb tail.
This type of 'reality reproduction' can be important when f.e. recording an orchestra, or movie sound, but otherwise I wouldn't be concerned to chase it
i use my Lexicon MPX-1 in mono-in mode, where it is optional real stereo-in, if I'm right

For Stereo in Stereo out, use the Masterverb Pro Source Image (for stereo reflections in a virtual Space). Experiment use two Masterverb Pro's with mirror Source Images left and right for stereo reverb effect.
Sonar users can use FX3 where individual sources can be placed in a virtual space.
