For example, midi controller's modulation wheel = CC01 to VST's Channel Pressure.
And are there any way in Ableton to show all parameters that is accepted by VST like FL does in its Browser?

For example in FL, I just need to hit 'Browse Parameters' in VST window and right click "Channel Pressure" or "Aftertouch" and move my midi controller's wheel.

By doing this, I can controll vibrato on PG-8X vst intruments from midi controller's wheel, though PG-8X accepts aftertouch(channel pressure msg) for vibrato. It eliminates the hassle of reading midi controllers' manual to change CC value everytime I use specific plugins and controllers.

When a vst is added to a track in Ableton Live, there is a tiny down-arrow icon (the "Unfold" icon) in the upper right corner of the vst device in the track. If you click that icon, the vst device expands to show the various vst controls and a "Configure" button in the upper right corner. Clicking the Configure button reveals every parameter in the vst that can be assigned to something if they aren't already shown.

See page 251 of the Ableton Live manual for more details.

I know how to add add parameters to panel. I can add if I move them from GUI. The problem is that doesn't work most of the time when it's not offered through GUI or too much to show by default.
