Multi-Mode question

Would it be possible to output the crossover results independently? I recently ran across a plugin by accusonus called Regroover that does it (in their own way) up to six layers of spectral(?) separation. Seems to be some interesting possibilities but I'd be much happier keeping things within Melda

I dont understand what you mean by this. Could you just use multiple crossover modules with each solo'ed to the band you want?

I was also looking at doing it all from a single plugin, which is why I was asking about multiple outputs.
Here's my problem/ quandry/ confusion: Every time that I open up MXXX and begin with an empty matrix, a part of me (the engineer that used to use mixers with faders) sees each numbered output as an ACTUAL output designed to send to individual channels in the old-time mixer. I guess I should have probably asked about multiple outputs for any effects but I was also focused on bringing attention to an interesting plugin that we might be able to borrow from here in Meldaland.
Would multiple crossover modules need to be placed on multiple mixer tracks in my DAW? I'm not certain that I have a full picture of your solution...probably because I didn't give many details to my question.
I would like to break a loop up into multiple parts. I was thinking of using the Spectrum crossover. My goal is to divide the parts into what I'll call: Transient, Tone (note), Sibilance and Noise. I want to be able to record each instance to use independently of one another in a single shot without having to make changes for each recording, which is why I was wondering about the routing possibilities. I thought it would speed up the process if I could send each part (Transient, Tone, Sibilance and Noise) to their own mixer track and be done with it in one fell swoop.
Now that I've gone into more detail, I realize that I haven't heard anyone talk about the multi-routing capabilities and so (I believe) it isn't possible (yet?!)
Thanks for helping vector. Sorry I didn't make it easier.

Ah, then ignore my first comment, I misunderstood.
If you want to output the crossover bands to separate output channels, I'd recommend setting MXXX up as a surround effect. Change the channel mode (top right of any melda plugin) from LR to surround. Then set up the crossover as you'd like and add a channel matrix before each final output. Send them to appropriate pairs, so 1&2 for output lane 1, 3&4 for output lane 2, etc.
I've created some useful surround effects with MXXX and it works great! In your case, you're not really using it for surround, but just to utilize the extra channels.
