+ Adding an effect send to a sampler channel</h3>
+ <p>The front-end can create an additional effect send on a specific sampler channel
+                     by sending the following command:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+                         </p>
+ <blockquote class="text">
+ <p>CREATE FX_SEND &lt;sampler-channel&gt; &lt;midi-ctrl&gt; [&lt;name&gt;]
+ </p>
+ </blockquote><p>
+ </p>
+ <p>Where &lt;sampler-channel&gt; is the respective sampler channel
+                     number as returned by the <a class='info' href='#ADD CHANNEL'>"ADD CHANNEL"<span> (</span><span class='info'>Adding a new sampler channel</span><span>)</span></a>
+                     or <a class='info' href='#LIST CHANNELS'>"LIST CHANNELS"<span> (</span><span class='info'>Getting all created sampler channel list</span><span>)</span></a> command, that is the
+                     sampler channel on which the effect send should be created on, &lt;midi-ctrl&gt;
+                     is a number between 0..127 defining the MIDI controller which can alter the
+                     effect send level and &lt;name&gt; is an optional argument defining a name
+                     for the effect send entity. The name does not have to be unique.
+ </p>
+ <p>By default, that is as initial routing, the effect send's audio channels
+                     are automatically routed to the last audio channels of the sampler channel's
+                     audio output device, that way you can i.e. first increase the amount of audio
+                     channels on the audio output device for having dedicated effect send output
+                     channels and when "CREATE FX_SEND" is called, those channels will automatically
+                     be picked. You can alter the destination channels however with
+                     <a class='info' href='#SET FX_SEND AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL'>"SET FX_SEND AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL"<span> (</span><span class='info'>Altering effect send's audio routing</span><span>)</span></a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Note: Create effect sends on a sampler channel only when needed, because having effect
+                     sends on a sampler channel will decrease runtime performance, because for implementing channel
+                     effect sends, separate (sampler channel local) audio buffers are needed to render and mix
+                     the voices and route the audio signal afterwards to the master outputs and effect send
+                     outputs (along with their respective effect send levels). A sampler channel without effect
+                     sends however can mix its voices directly into the audio output devices's audio buffers
+                     and is thus faster.

+                     sampler channel. So if the sampler channel is stereo, the effect send does
+                     have two audio channels as well. Also keep in mind that the amount of audio
+                     channels on a sampler channel might be dependant not only to the deployed
+                     sampler engine on the sampler channel, but also dependant to the instrument
+                     currently loaded. However you can (effectively) turn an i.e. stereo effect
+                     send into a mono one by simply altering its audio routing appropriately.
