Halion's structure is a bit different than a regular synth. It's bit more like a Kontakt in which you have groups and in Halion you have Layers. You can put multiple sound sources inside single layer, such as synth, sample, granular synth, fm synth and you can put a Bus with some effects at the and of the chain.
You can also split all sound sources in separate layers, this way you can have separate busses with effects for every layer working independently.
So basically yes, you can have per voice effects, If you consider single voice a single sound source.

thank you for your reply.
i watched some vids, to see the workflow.
per voice effects, i mean polyphonic effects, that one single source can have multiple effects that work per voice.
in Falcon 3 they reside in the Keygroup (don't own Falcon 3 by the way). in Phase Plant, that is very obvious, and in MSoundFactory, slightly less, but also obvious (in the Generator section).
per voice controls, i did see that the LFO's can be polyphonic.

I'm trialling HALion 7 now and if I understand what you're asking, it's possible to have multiple busses in HALion within a single "program" or instrument.
In this example of an acoustic guitar instrument, you have several layers and sublayers. Each of the layers is routed to a bus that can have 8 inserts, including sends to Aux. There's an EQ on one layer, which I think is the per voice effect you're talking about; and there's reverb and Aux on the final program bus. That's how I'm understanding HALion routing for now, but I've only just started with it.

@youngpokie i think you are right.
better was requesting a trial, before asking...
the setup is very detailed. i already have seen, via YT vids.
also MPE there is not much info about, but it seems that Note Expressions still work in Halion 7. so it can do MPE...
EDIT: tried it with Halion Sonic that is free; and i see in Note Expressions, a lot of destinations for a preset, so i can route the CC's of MPE controller and it seems also very MPE...

The structure can be as simple and as complex as you want. It's as I tried to explain before. To have separate effects on separate sound sources. You make multiple layers and put a bus into every layer. Like you noticed, You can put insert effects on any bus. So there can be Sub Bus effects and there can be Master Bus effectsI'm trialling HALion 7 now and if I understand what you're asking, it's possible to have multiple busses in HALion within a single "program" or instrument.
