That is easily done, starting from the example with the track names. But you will need to think of how you want to navigate plugins and their parameter names/values across many 'pages', since you have just a tiny amount of characters that you can display. Seriously, *4* characters for a parameter name or value isn't gonna cut it. It seems designed more for stuff like SND1 <--> SND8, RCV1 <---> RCV8, FX1 <-->FX8, PAR1 <--> PAR8 for changing function names, not much more. So that leaves you with even *less* than 8 parameters that you can display simultaneously, if you'd want more extensive info (i.e. display only last touched plugin name + slot number + parameter number + name + value). That's your *UI design* problem (not so much a technical one, imho). You'll need to answer questions like what buttons are still available? What layout makes most sense? Etc.
