I am suspecting something like that too.

Woah, wait. What? But... Am I missing something, I can't see any of said 
params in the "properties" window, maybe it's another Qtractor 
idiosyncratic limitations (I learned to love them) :p

Well, I'm using the one in the KXStudio repos, I guess it's up to 
date... Wait

Hum, can't find any version number in the GUI either :/

Oh, and mind you, when I jalv.gtk3 http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net I 
can't see any other control than "OSC Port (17475,000000)" so that's 
what made me think it's not just Qtractor... All those years... So am I 
using "the wrong one"? I guess I am. Is there a way to do some sort of 
version, at least feature checking?

Thanks for your answer that pumped me full of hope anyway :)
