Hi Calvin
your intuition already provides the answer.
If a preset uses more than 2 I/Os and you are running your Eventide on a stereo routing, the extra I/Os (#3/4/5/6/7/8) won't be connected. This is because the algorithm is obviously designed for multichannel apps and includes those I/Os and secondly because the unit has routings that need to be applied to use specific presets.
The trick would be:
-open the multichannels preset in Vsigfile
-add a stereo mixer at the end of the algorithm
-connect the different effects to it
-possibly create a menupage with levels (and panning is needed) for the new configurations
-reconnect the FX inputs to only inputs 1 and 2 of the algorithm
-reconnect the added stereo mxer to only outputs 1 & 2 of the algorithm
-erase all extra I/Os in the algorithm
-store it on the computer
-send it to the Eventide
-store it inside the unit.
There may already be presets that do what you want on 2 I/Os.
all the best
