nope - it's in the bugbase as a BIG NEED - Sharing the 8 channels with the MIAWs is a real pain I know, 1000 graphic channels (not counting film loops & MIAWs) & only a measly 8 for sound ... >Add properties for sound synthesis, for example functions that make reverb, >echo, distortion, flanging, chorus or whatever one could imagine. This would be added as a new Xtra type - MACR would just install some APIs & then let someone else do the work.
