FX via usb, Dante or Waves

Good day, I use external FX via usb, dante or waves quite allot, but unfortunately i always need to sacrifice normal input channels and auxes, and discard the dedicated effect send busses, wouldn’t it be great to have access to the inputs and outputs of these FX Send and returns which is already available instead of wasting them?

With the IO patch page perhaps looking more like this;
Under IO>Outputs> FX Sends(Currently it says Rack FX and contains the 8 FX returns, should this not be FX SENDS since its under the output tab?)
An NEW Tab under inputs for the FX RETURNS channels would make allot of sense
e.g. Inputs>FX Returns.

Greetings, please correct me if I am wrong or missing something.

Fantastic!
I’d like to see this improvement.

Yes, please!
I‘d be happy if I could route the FX busses to outputs!
I image that would be simpler than rerouting the FX returns.

(altough it’s possible to use those busses with external hw effects, you just need to insert some fx that you can bypass, mbc for example)
