this is what i understand now: we have 4 stereo busses inside, each  
has a FX-send percentage (or as you said: "there are 4 stereo busses  
to which each layer can chose to send (at full volume). Then, each of  
the busses has a percentage which goes to each effect.")

from a user perspective it means: on a p1k the four stereo busses  
exist but are "only" useful to assign FX at different levels for each  
layer/channel. on a p2k it is the same, however those four busses ALSO  
have an actual physical output.

right?

what i dont understand: when there are 4 stereo busses internally, and  
only 3 stereo outputs on the p2k, then what happens to the signal of  
the fourth stereo bus when it leaves the FX (or bypassed it)?


ty, i like my macbook, :p
