no sir, when I hover over SLIPS root control, it displays “C”.
when I send it CV and make it audibly go to A# and hover over the root control it says “C”
thanks for the suggestion and kind words 
i’m currently starting to toy around with a full rewrite of one of my modules from the NullPath plugin, but i’ll certainly make a note to take a look at Slips to try to work out updating param display values based on cv inputs. 
the screen capture is when I right click on any module, it gives that same info, always plugin, version, author, etc… It’s a VCV thing.
but that’s not at all what cubist is talking about. they are referring to the tooltips that pop up when hovering over a control/param/input/output on the module’s panel.
Oops, you are 1000% correct.
Thank you very much, will try them out. Happy New Year
