Thanks for the replies. It sounds like it's an easy task to use the Summit as an effects processor for another synth.
I had seen the inputs on the back panel but given my experience with the Pro2 I thought it best to ask rather than assume. Whilst the Pro2 has external inputs it's not an easy process in my experience as you have to hold a note and then turn the oscillators off for it to receive and process the incoming from the audio in sockets. The incoming audio also goes through the filters so you can do a few things with it, but it's not ideal for me as an effects processor.
(edited to try and make more sense!!!)
As someone who has had a few synths that allow external inputs through the FX, I just thought I'd chime in enough to say that I consider it experimental fun but in no way a replacement for dedicated pedals or rack FX equipment. The overall experience and resulting sound is not the same IMHO.
By all means do it, I've done this recently with the Virus and System 8... but I wouldn't buy a particular synth that has that capability instead of a good set of pedals if that makes sense.
