The slaving of morphs to bend channels is actually the functionality in MLP that I've been least impressed with. For one, you have to do the maths yourself. When I want my morph to be fully expressed at 90 degrees, I have to tell MLP to use a factor of 0.011111. Not really a big deal, but it's less intuitive and can be a bit of a mental stumble block. Another huge annoyance is that the channel you want to slave to is not read back in correctly from the configuration file, which means I have to steer through three nested pulldown menus to fix it each time I tweak and re-load my JCMs.
From my experience, here are two things I'd really like to see in an advanced morph loader with ERC (i.e. morph slaving) support:
The ability to save a configuration and replay it later, so that when I make changes to the morph, I can still load it with one click and have it slaved to the correct channel with the correct factor.
The ability to save the deltas plus the ERC setup in a separate file. Ideally, that would be a pose file that could be loaded into Poser, but one would have to check if that actually works in practice. But since Poser, Daz Studio and I typically have at least three different opinions of what a proper CR2 should look like, I typically copy-and-paste any changes I make from whatever either software writes out into my clean "master file". So having just the bits I'm actually interested in in a file by themselves would be immensely useful.
