I'm disregarding the parts of your reply that have nothing to do with my questions. So, there is a secret "signal flow" that cannot be replicated with the same functions as plug-ins... fine.
I would encourage MB users to try to determine what this secret is... not for the purpose of reverse-engineering, but just for understanding. I'm not likely to drop 80 bucks for this, just to figure it out.
It wouldn't be that hard to do. You just need to test it as though it were hardware... and no, you wouldn't need an AP test set, etc. I'll bet you could get to the bottom of it with tones, sweeps, meters and a spectrum analyzer.
