Well, it's slightly tricky, we need to either poll the OSC librarys for incoming packets in the GTK idle thread or let it use its own thread and signal the JAMin control stuff, but I cant remeber if that cares what thread it was called from or not. I'l try to find time to add control for one parameter over OSC, that should make it obvious how to do the others, but it will be after the next point release goes out I think. > > The compressors are just SC4's, so if that all you need you could use > > something like AMS + meterbridge (or jack-rack if you dont need the > > crossover) and use MIDI to control that.

Typically crossovers are paired low- and high-pass filters I think. - Steve
