Thank you for the offer ! At this stage, for me to accept it would be to promise way too much. But your post is a timely reminder that just because I think the Radio may lack the power to do much more doesn't mean that it can't... It is worth looking over the possibilities already available, I'm sure life has moved on in the open source world since the Radio firmware was made. I'll look at the pCP offering. And I think @ralphy might have been thinking in that direction. As I don't have a Boom, can you point me at a manual that describes the treble/bass settings available ? In the meantime, I'll practice my "Rock Smile". A new term to me, opinions seem to differ. :) But I think in reality it may no more or less than what used to be called a "Contour" control. Or do I mean "Tilt" ? But perhaps a small project for the hardware... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
