Something wrong with the MOD tab. See screen capture (attached). Appears to give Hz, then asian characters, then a number... All changing so fast that no-one has a hope of reading anything...

 

Windows 11 25H2
Bitwig 6 Beta 13 and also Reaper 7.61
VST3
Reecer 1.0.1

Thanks for reporting this with the video - we know exactly what's happening here!

What was happening:
The LFO display was showing garbled text (Asian characters) on Windows because of how JUCE handles strings internally. JUCE uses UTF-16 on Windows,
and we were using toRawUTF8() inside a formatted string which caused encoding corruption. The rapid flickering was caused by the display rebuilding
the string every frame (30 FPS) with slightly different floating-point values.

How we fixed it:
- Replaced String::formatted() with toRawUTF8() with safe string concatenation
- Changed from: String::formatted("%.1fHz %s", rate, waveName.toRawUTF8())
- Changed to: String(rate, 1) + "Hz " + waveName + " D:" + String(depth, 2)
- Atomic values are now loaded once per frame to prevent race conditions

Fix included in: Today's build (Feb 10, 2026)

The LFO display should now show clean, stable text like:
1.0Hz Sine D:0.50

Please grab the latest installer and confirm the fix works on your system!
