Not at this point - at least as far as I know. Although it *is* nice to have that immediate level of access/visual feedback, it's not a deal-breaker. When I'm using Voxengo Voxformer I don't even think about the UI on the touch screen. I just use the plugin controls to launch the UI of the plug to the main DAW screen and control its parameters through the 16 rotary encoders on the right hand side of the Tango. The UI of the plugin on the main monitor "chases" the position of the corresponding encoder on the Tango - so it's like having hardware control of the plugin in it's native UI. The virtual controls move as I move the physical controls - which gives a pretty direct feel to the plugin parameters. Once I'm done, I hit the "Window" button on the touch screen and the plugin UI disappears again - easy.

I'm sure they're working on some solution to update the compressor UI to corespond to settings created by other plugins, but I'm not one of the customers that's complaining about it since I do more scoring and sound design/mixing than music-related track work, so it's not a top-tier feature to me. Likewise, when I do pull up an EQ or compressor to set on a track, I'm usually pretty happy with the factory plugins. I know - call me crazy.
