Is there any need to allow elements to control how much of their signal gets sent to the insert effects?

Currently an element doesn't really know what effects are actually being used or what order Ins A and InsB are routed in.

But there have been ideas submitted to:

1. expand the number of effects a part can have

2. move the actual effect selection to the element level

3. move the routing for an individual effect to the element level.

With the above scheme an element could specify one or two effects to use AND the ordering of those effects: A to B, B to A or parallel. A different element might use different effects or the same effects but with different routing.

Of course that is dependent on having more than two effects available for a part.

In that context it seems it would make sense to also have:

1. element based 'dry level'

2. element based 'InsA send level'

3. element based 'InsB send level'

That would allow each element to control how much signal is sent on each path.

But, in the real world, is that either necessary or useful?

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
