Why not?  this is what QLAB does. I think this is pretty easy, maybe  
I am missing something.
If the panned audio is available as a multichannel sound file, then  
all you need to do is hit GO at the right time.
You could also source a single channel and program fades on the audio  
matrix in QLAB.

I  am not sure why DP would be needed other than to create the  
original files off line.

Not all that clunky. You need a Mac running QLAB connected tot he  
DM1000 via USB and a couple of MIDI commands.

Again, maybe I am missing something.
