The Mid/Side section allows for splitting an incoming stereo single into two mono signals for separate processing and re-merging them. Up to three stereo signals can be run through a one-switch Mono Check function to check mono compatibility. Additionally there are basic three-channel merger and splitter sections.

Anansi RE includes several example preset Combinators compatible with Reason and Reason Intro and Reason Lite, plus several further examples using a number of additionally available Rack Extensions contemporary to the original release. To avoid introducing phase issues, as with any parallel processing use the same device chains for both mid and side send/return.
