I may have confused it.
I have a TRS cable connecting the channel inserts to the patch bay. Then I use 1 TRS jack to input the cable of the patch bay. I set the patch bay so all the jacks are independent through stereo jacks that close across the Tip and Ring when no plug is present (forgot the terminology). You then get 32 channels from a 16 channel patch bay or 48 channels from a 24 channel patch bay. Then you plug the Y connector between the patch bay and the compressor or whatever.
Just to confuse it more I have other patch bays in the rack with TS mono jacks that are connected to the compressors and other processors with one jack in and one out, therefore you can plug a short Y lead between the 2 patch bays and patch any processor to any channel. The real plus side is that by using a mono straight patch lead you can daisy chain compressors or have a compressor after an EQ etc, if you want too.
