Does anybody use individual outs on synths?

[James Coplin]

I do use individual outs on all my drum machines and modules. Besides having individual control over panning, I use different compression, reverb, and delay on them depending.

As far a synths go, back when I didn't have very many and tracks in the DAW were at a premium, I did quite a bit. Anymore, I seldom need multitimbral outs  so typically I don't as I will just use another synth or just do two takes.
