Yes crosstalk only has an effect when there is more than one figure in a scene and they share some FBM or JCM morphs. However, clothing items are also figures!

The workflow for Poser 4 (which is how CT works for P4 and PP at the moment) is something like this:

1:Find the figure you want to make the JCM Control Poses for in the CT Browser.
2:Set the number to the number of these figures you'll need in the scene and hit the "Create ... Now!" button.
3: Now load the character figures into the scene. You can do this with the "Load into Poser" button on CT 'cos it's easier than wading through the Poser library tab!
4: When as many character figures are loaded as you want, apply the new JCM Control Poses to each in turn. It works like this... Let's say I have 3 similar figure characters in the scene:
I want Figure 1 to be controlled from it's own FBM and JCM morphs so I apply "JCM Control Pose for Fig 1" to it,
I want Figure 2 to be controlled from it's own FBM and JCM morphs so I apply "JCM Control Pose for Fig 2" to it,
I want Figure 3 to be controlled from it's own FBM and JCM morphs so I apply "JCM Control Pose for Fig 3" to it.
Now each character is in control of it's own JCM and FBM's... no crosstalk!
5: Now I want each character to wear a clothing item (The same one for argument's sake)... so I find the clothing figure in CT and make the required number of JCM Control Poses for it.
6: now load the clothing items and conform them to the figures. Remember the order of creaton of the clothes... they should be Figures 4, 5 and 6.
7: Now apply the clothes JCM Control Poses like this:
Figure 4 is conformed to Figure 1 so I apply "JCM Control Pose for Fig 1" to it to make Figure 1 control it's JCM and FBM morphs.
Figure 5 is conformed to Figure 2 so I apply "JCM Control Pose for Fig 2" to it to make Figure 2 control it's JCM and FBM morphs.
Figure 6 is conformed to Figure 3 so I apply "JCM Control Pose for Fig 3" to it to make Figure 3 control it's JCM and FBM morphs.
Now the three figures control their clothes JCM and FBM... crosstalk where you want it!!
