Nice, starightforwrd instructions for creating an FX preset template with with patchcords. When I was using presets FX presets, I didn't set it up with patchcords like you suggest, but I like the idea!!!

Related ideas:
I would use the prefix !FX so it would be there up front in the navigator (well, right after a blank/space. 
I would set the ROM instruments on all 4 layers to 0000   :None.

When I get a chance, I am going to try it with patchcords as you suggest. 

(As we have discussed before--too bad the E-Mu returns aren't routed through FX.  Think of all the empty 1 RU modules out there with no sound roms that could be used as FX processors!!!)

Again, thanks for the tip!
