That would be great
Well:

In reason, take each output from ReDrum and pump it through separate EQs. (I always have every channel in ReDrum separated out and pumped into a separate mixer when I use it.)

In Cubase, take Battery, and set it up to use multiple outs. Put any pre-reverbed sounds in stereo channels and any others in mono. Then use the Cubase channel EQs, or plugins, to EQ each channel. To set channels for a cell, select the cell, hold down <ctrl> and click on the output box - bottom right of the interface. Then type in the channel number. (HOW counter-intuitive???)

In Logic, make sure you're using V 5.3 or above. Either load up a battery as above or Load up an ESX24, and set different zones to different outputs. (You can turn a stereo channel into two monos by panning hard left & right in the zone view, and using mono AUX objects to receive the data for left and right sides.) You must create a separate 'aux' type audio object for each channel output, and set the input to 'instrument x->ESX24 x <...>'. Oh, and you MUST create the instrument by selecting 'Multi Channel->ESX24' in the I/O input box on the original Audio Instrument object.

Then simply load in EQs and gates on each Aux object insert point. And the original instrument object.

Easy. Plus, you can use the best EQ for the job - like, Waves Renaisssance for serious fattening up, and Waves standard for precision shifting of individual harmonics ;)

As well as individual compressors, reverbs, distortions, blah, blah, blah.

Easy.
