Why does a mono track assigned with reverb on these machines, and panned left for example, bleed onto other tracks panned right? And is there a way to rectify this problem?
 
I'm not familiar with the VF-160. Are the "other tracks" adjacent to the one with reverb? If so, maybe they're Fader Paired to the one with reverb.. so making a setting on one sets the paired track the same. That's all I can think of... a shot in the dark.

If the routing is like a more conventional analog mixer or even a software DAW where the reverb is on a parallel effects bus, where the reverb is in the left-right stereo field is independent of where the channel is panned.

I checked for this, and went so far as to use tracks that could not be paired even if one wanted to, and still reverb bleeding persisted. At least the bleeding is approximately half the intensity on the unintended tract than that on the intended tract, and by balancing the reverb gain on the various tracts, I do end up with a reasonable spread. It just seems like a crazy way to achieve it. Thanks...

Yeah, maybe something like that is going. Because it does seem to be immune to panning, essentially.
