With preset level patchcords you can control the >amount< that each 
send (1->4) goes to FXA and FXB. However, there are not patchcords 
destinations for either these or for layer level patchcords for th 
FX parameters.

You can create pre-FX effects using the synth engine and you can 
control these using patch cords, but these take more time to program.

I don't have my E-Mu sysex manual with me, but I do believe there 
are sysex parameters for the FX processor controls. If so, you could 
develop the sysex controls externally on a computer, embed them in a 
midi sequence, and use e-loader to put the seqeunce into your E-mu. 
The E-Mu itself does not have a built-in sysex editor.

This method would give you control, but it wouldn't be "automation" 
in the sense that you could have an envelope or oscilator control 
the parameters.

BUT:

There is an easier solution if all you want to do is just change the 
parameters on the fly through a song (as opposed to 
envelope/oscilator-type automation.

You can create !FX presets that have --none-- for the instrument on 
each level.  (I give mine the prefix !FX, so they come first in the 
preset nagigator.) You can then designate a specific channel as 
your !FX preset channel. By changing !FX presets on that channel, 
you can change the FXA/FXB setting at will.

I believe Aaron wrote aboy this and other have discussed it, though 
I am not sure what keyword to search for in the archives. !FX 
doesn't do it.

This may or may not be what you want, and other may have some 
suggestions, too.  I hope this helps.
