No, most technical descriptions I have found on the net do such effects 
differently (mixing chroma planes in some graphic-software... but this 
essentially is what a channel-mixer does)...

e.g. if you check aviator-fx (homepage?) they seem to have this done by 
extracting chroma-planes (either in rgb, yuv or cmy(k)) and mixing 
these... which is essentially the same than using a channel-mixer...

The technicolor-2-stripe (that term isn't correct, I know ;-) effect can 
be composed as follows:

R = 1.0*R + 0.0*G + 0.0*G
G = B = 0.0*R + 0.5*G +0.5*B


this was bichromatic-process using only a red (slightly orange???...) 
and a cyan primary-color-filter recording on BW-film. So true green gets 
grey...

technicolor-3-stripe used three filters (red/green/blue) recording on 
three stripes of BW-film. This lead to overly saturated colors, as there 
was nearly no cross-color-response (as on modern film-materials). But 
well, just increasing the saturation just doesn't look right...
