An group channel that can process each input independently? (Cubase 9)

I've been out of the music writing game for a quite a while and came back recently and I'll confess that I've seemingly forgotten much in that time.

I have an instance of Ohmicide in an FX Group channel which is set up for some nice distortion which I'd like to route several different instruments to.

But rather than combining the inputs, I want to find a way process each input independently rather than combined (as, naturally, they combine, interfere with each other and overload the input).

Is the only way to copy and paste that Ohmicide instance to each channel insert manually? I'd like to be able to make changes to one Ohmicide and have it affect all the inputs.

i.e.; for each audio input to Ohmicide, run Ohmicide independently on each input sample.

I know this doesn't really fit in to how a traditional mix bus is supposed to work, but I'm wondering if what I want exists but I'm either not remembering the terminology or the method for doing it 'properly'.

There are two ways to use a group channel(bus).

a) Bus takes sends from other tracks, making Ohmicide common to all, getting a share from each.
Each track then sends a portion to bus, and it'soutput somewhere else like hardware outs, or other bus.
Ohmicide then usually is set 100% wet, and mix is desided by amount of send from everywhere.

b) Bus takes inputs from somewhere, like other the tracks which has a fader saying level to this bus.

c) a combination of the above two.

d) And other tracks can assign input from this Ohmicide group channel out as well as it is assigned to hardware outs, like stereobus or something.

Yes, put another way is the plugin you want Ohmicide to process can reside in the Ohmicide-inserted bus or you can use a send to it as an FX bus. {Or both.} Play around with that and hear the difference in effect.
