Just to elaborate, there are several ways to go about this. If your outboard FX unit has S/PDIF then you could connect to your Ultralite this way. This would be easiest. An alternative would be to use the analog outs. For example, you could send analog outs 3-4 to your FX (if it accepts stereo input signals) and feed the FX back into the Ultralite via analog ins 5-6. Within DP you would of course need to setup some auxes/busses to send/return from your outboard unit. This can be a little tricky to setup the first time, but a quick look at the DP and/or Ultralite manuals should shed some light on the subject.
