Patchbay woes...

[Rom MUSIC BAR]

Of course why not ,  still there is no rules … if it works this way for you :)
It reminds me a Radio head song  i saw on tv show  in 1999 … During the song one of radio head guys  was just playing  by plugging in and out  cables to make/combine noise during the entire song  …
 it was quite experimenting music for the Channel  and sounds kind of weird but it was interesting  …

It works if you have as much gear as you have mixer channels and you have a default setup that you always want to have, but it also hides what's going on behind the rack.  The entire point of a patch bay, in my opinion, is to bring those connections to one place up front and center where you can figure out what's going where just by looking at it.  I treat my rig very similarly to how I treat my modular synth so any default is going to end up highly modified anyway.
