A small subset actually - you need LP, HP, BP and Notch basically? These would replace the LP filter that is the Damping circuit (basically, the damping parameter controls the cutoff of this filter).

i think the difference in the sound of the various filter emulations is considerable, especially the LP ones, it might give quite different qualities to the delay rather than just a generic "LP"

The other effect I'd like is the ability to add delays per VCA, so that each mixer/insertfx can be delayed before or after the filter and fed back round into the mixer again for feedback. With very fine control over the timing etc. A bit like a more controllable comb filter I suppose.

+1, this will be a big + for the sound designing.

Yes, reverb would be great. You can allays put an external reverb on it but to have reverb in an fx channel as part of a preset gives more sound possibilities.

Especially with the Feedback paths and the AP Filters.
I have sort of a single voice version of Solaris in Modular, as I cannot make the patch any bigger, it takes up the entire project window as it is, in Scope Modular IV.
But I have been trying all sorts of tricks in Solaris and in Modular IV to try and come up with new and fresh ideas.
Since I don't have an editor, re buidling the basic design in Modular is the next best thing.

Love to see a basic verb as the Scope 5.1 Room Reverb, but a stereo version w/o the Early reflections since a short delay could easily do that already.

If you can add filters to the delay please make them resonant!

If you could put the chorus and phaser inside the feedback loop of the delay you would have a very nice effect. With the right set of filters this would be able to sound like an old analogue.

If you put a simple limiter on the end of the feedback path you can generate long lasting feedback loops that degrade like tape.
