    5/34 in the patch screens, instead of seeing the slots selected in cascade setup procedure, the 32 cascade connections will be seen (yellow colour). So any audio channel inside pm5d can be patched to any cascade channel for sending to and from dme64n. Patch the dme like an external geq, effect unit ...
