I think even some GM modules (Roland?) let you send some of the chorus
output into the reverb.  This is what I meant... instead of the effects
being in series (which can also be useful, depending on the effects) 
the first effect is sent to the output *and* has a send level into the
next effect.

One example of where series effects (with no way of routing the signal
from one effect to another) is not good enough is delay and reverb: You
hear the signal with reverb, but then the delay repeats are dry - this
sounds silly!

...except you might have a mono sample, but the pan of each voice might
be random or track the keyboard, so unless you are applying effects to
each voice individually (something the Native Instruments Kontakt
sampler allows) inserts need stereo busses.
