The send busses each have an amount fed into the EFX processors.  This
amount is global for the entire XX-7 synthesizer.  It can either be set from
a global setting (in Global) or controlled by one of the 32 channels of your
choice.  if you elect the last option is is pretty easy to use a dummy patch
on that channels as an effects patch giving you the benefit of being able to
control the eight total send levels (one per each of two effects, times four
busses) in real-time using QuickEdit knobs.  With some clever use of the
limited busses you can get some useful real-time control over the effects.

BTW I'm not debate the sanity of the E-mu scheme.
