You might try coming out of the alt/3-4 outputs into the Vortex then return
in stereo to the board. I use my Mackie 12 vlz like this with good results.
IMO, the Vortex need to be 100% wet.

A footpedal is wonderful for sweeping parameters. I made one out of a cheap
volume pedal by converting the output to a stereo jack. I get the full 1-64
sweep but a real expresion pedal may be better.

Finally a footpedal is essential to realize the Vortexs morphing
capabilities. That is where it lives!
