Yes, I'm sure that will do it. But except for the "lack of fat kick" I'm
very happy with my recent set-up using the filter bank after the
loopers.  I guess a midi controllable audio patch bay would be a great
solution? Rewiring the whole rig from FCB1010 foot controller programs!?
Hmmm.... Have to put some thinking into this. Thanks for the
inspiration, Jon!

Oh YES! When I bought my Akai MFC 42 dynamic filter I realised that
"this is what I have been trying to emulate in software for years".
Running the Ohmforce plug-ins under Logic comes pretty close but this is
the real thing! And it is an instrument - not a "music production
workstation". The beat synced filtering sounds beautifully inexact in
such a musical way. 

Kindest...
