Hey great explanation of the what "normal " connection means for a patch bay
And the bold is actually how I run my "two" pieces of outboard gear in Pro Tools, as inserts from the I/O selection on the tracks "inserts", although as direct connections no patch bay, but does the same thing And it is very work flow friendly .........................and gets

The input page
The output page
Here I have selected the M7 reverb in the reverb aux tracks, insert section under "i/o"
