Switches
Type This determines whether the switch controls a parameter for a plugin in VIP (VST
Param) or sends a MIDI CC message to your DAW.
Parameter or CC When Type is set to VST Param, this is the parameter for a plugin in VIP that is
controlled by the switch. When Type is set to MIDI CC, this is the MIDI CC number for
(upper-left field)
a parameter in your DAW that the switch controls.
Min / Max These determine the lowest (Min) and highest (Max) values. The available range is 0%–
100%.
Mode This determines whether the switch's operation is Toggle, Momentary, or Step:
Important: These Mode operations will be reversed if Invert is set to On.
Steps When Mode is set to Step, this determines the total number of steps. The available
range is 2–200.
Invert This determines whether the switch's polarity is normal (Off) or inverted (On).

•
Toggle: Each time you press the switch, it will turn on or off and remain in that
state until you press it again.
•
Momentary: The switch will be on for as long as you are holding it down. It will
turn off when you release it.
•
Step: The full range of the switch's parameter (minimum value to maximum
value) will be divided into a number of "steps." Each time you press the switch,
the value will increase by one step. Once it's at the maximum value, press the
switch once more to reset it to the minimum value.
For example, if the parameter's range is 0% to 100% and the range is divided
into 20 steps, pressing the switch each time will increase the value by 5% (Step
1/20). When the value is at 100% (Step 20/20), pressing the switch once will
return it to 0% (Step 0/20).
