Basically all of the OSC stuff only works under NSM currently (because NSM is used for client discovery/naming). Eventually it should be possible to use the new JACK metadata API to exchange this info instead, and then it will be able to work without NSM. > A week ago, I had also tried using two instances of ZynAddSubFx, but it > behaved "twitchy".

That's been on my TODO list for a long time--it's not that it's difficult--just that it requires a little GUI to set the channel/CC number. Isn't that what you really wanted in the first place? I'd happily accept a patch for that.
