Hey There,
Just read your Post looking for something different.
At least for Top 2 I can give an answer.
If You want to Control Attributes with the Rotary Encoders you can do it with a very simple Command.
E.g. If you want to control the attribute Focus:
You can define Commands for "Encoder left Turn" and "Encoder right Turn"
Code
Attribute "Focus" at + 1 // Assigned to "Encoder right Turn" will increase the Value of "Focus" by 1
Attribute "Focus" at - 1 // Assigned to "Encoder left Turn" will decrease the Value of "Focus" by 1
It´s important to set blanks between the + and the Value. By this MA interprets your Value as relative Value. If the blank is missing th result will always be: Attribute "Focus" = 1 or -1 depending on input.
You can also Combine those Assignments with the MA-Key. By holding down the MA-Key and turning the Same Encoder you can trigger a diffrent Command.
Cheers
