Trying to troubleshoot an issue maybe someone knows something that could help me. I'm having a problem with one VST (the one I use the most :S) where the text parameter values look good in Live's VST configuration window but are all messed up on the Push 2 display (they come out as semi random numbers). In the attached image Push 2 should be displaying "Env1 Amp" but just displays "1". It displays "1" like 5 times in a row making it impossible to know which value I'm on.

Is there a config file on my computer that tells Push 2 what to display for each parameter value for each VST plugin? Tried Ubermap and PrEditor but it won't work due to a completely separate issue (Push 2 has a bug that makes updating the display to reflect the correct value when mapping floating point value ranges to text inconsistent). I feel there is a fair chance that it's just some random file I need to edit to get it to work.

I have no answer, but they just released Preditor 2. Maybe that issue is fixed? I don't know. Sorry. Good luck.

PrEditor 2 is really great but this looks like a bug in the Push 2

How does this same parameter values show up on an automation lane?
I feel like this is most probably due to the plugin's implementation itself; something about the way it declares its range value names to the host.

Yeah it shows up perfectly on the automation lane/vst configuration as well on Push 1's display

Oh, then definitely report the issue at support@ableton.com !

I think I figured it out!

It looks like Push2 converts the parameter text values containing numbers into just the numbers. So in the case of "Env 1 Attack" Push2 strips away everything but the number 1. I edited Arturia Matrix 12's xlm file which names each value and changes all the numbers to letters, so "Env A Attack" and now it works! I think it's an odd Push2 behaviour so I will ocntact support but I'm good now.

Programming a Mod Matrix without looking at a computer screen is really inspiring.
