The fader is not an audio fader and the panner is not an audio panner.
They are sending MIDI commands. Maybe Hexter doesn't honor it.

I don't use the faders at all, not for MIDI tracks and not for audio
tracks because AUX send are pre fader.

I use a simple LADSPA stereo amplifier and CALF stereo tools to handle
stereo signals and pan them:

I can't say anything about Wet/Dry issues in Inserts because I use AUX
sends only.
