I've touted FX3 for a long time. It is a FANTASTIC plugin that should have gotten much more development and improvement. The biggest would be to have a way to send however many tracks you want to it (within reason) and be able to manipulate each "performer" (track) within the one plugin. Room simulation and impulses have nothing on this program.
