I also use my set up on parallel processing, I have found a solution using
the Advance Mus. Tech. "Missing Link".
It allows you to send the "mother signal" out from 2 couples of stereo 
sends
and receive from 2 couples of stereo returns.
Consider that the master out passes through a couple of tubes (there are
several combinations), so that the digital processing gains warmness and
harmonics lost during the digital conversion.
I found it really useful.
I also know of something like that (with no tubes) from Digital Music Co.
but I have been told of quality losses in the signal.
