External FX -> Can be used as Audio Process - Plugin?

[mrbowes]

I've read how you can set up external fx in cubase sx 3 and have them act as plugins to be used with inserts. My questions is: can these external fx also be used via audio processes -> plugins? this way the effect can be permanetly added to the track, so I could use it on multiple tracks instead of doing the insert/real time export deal.

???

That would be reason enough for me to finally upgrade to 3 (well that and part based automation of course (I'm jealous), and proper sidechains, that don't require setting up quad busses and using third party gate plugins, damn-it!!!!).

I would have to say no. Because the audio is not processed in realtime using the audio>plug-ins menu, but rather offline processing is used, and your external gear obviously needs it to be realtime.
