Ah. You've hit upon one of the biggest limitations of the whole Paris architecture right there.
Paris started life as a discrete 16 track system, with its own DSP based effects. It was expandable to 32, 48, 64 etc by adding additional EDS cards. (Thereby adding "submixes"). VST/DX support came along later, but only on the channel inserts. (Stereo instances could be strapped across two adjacent tracks within each 16 track "submix"). Unfortunately, it is not possible to have a native reverb as a send effect on each submix, let alone across the master bus. Only the EDS DSP reverbs are possible within each 16 track submix, but not across submixes.
A hardware reverb could be used, as the send busses could be routed to an external device, and back in, provided you have additional outputs in your MEC(S).
In practice I have found the available EDS effects to be more than adequate for my purposes. (In particular Mike's Hall and Plate reverbs... they sound gorgeous..)
I have produced some great sounding albums using PARIS alone, but these have consisted of real bands, with real instruments.
I'm not sure that PARIS is for you, however. By the sound of it, you may become frustrated by the workarounds necessary.
I'm sure there will be others that chime in about their experiences, good and bad.
Cheers,
Kim.
