If you are really brave go to 4 rows and you have a 2020 C4

Ok, I thought about what you said and yes, encoders with push buttons could be as effective as 4 buttons if we can get 4 lines on the display. Definitely more versatile.
As far as 4 rows, I'm sure that would be better, but I think size wise it will be difficult to implement in my setup. Perhaps, I can do a 8x3 and an 8x4 later if people really want that extra row. But if you look a most hardware plugins, a 3x8 would more than allow you to map all parameters onto one screen. Yes, plugins which are more complicated, you'd have to have multiple screens.
With that, I give you Version #6
as for the screens: They are 96 x 64 pixels. 13/16" wide x 17/32" tall.
65,536 (Maximum) colors. Viewing angles 160 degrees. Brightness min 80, avg. 100 cd/m2. Contrast 1000:1. Lifetime 10,000 hrs.
But hold your horses as I think I just found another smaller display (wider but less tall) with full RGB colors. (similar to the size of the one on design #4.
I'm finding out about as we speak.
Next up is sourcing the encoders. and hope that they fit in this design.
