(hand up) Oh, Oh, Oh!  I know the answer to this one...  [I'm the guy who is
responsible for a switch being different from a button.]

   - button - a button has a *Down* (non-zero) and an *Up* (zero) state,
   these occur together when pressed/released, this switch only triggers on the
   *Down*, *Up* is ignored. (Herc)
   - switch - a switch has a *On* (non-zero) and an *Off* (zero) state,
   these occur separately. (Herc)

An example of a switch:
On the front of the Herc Mk2 there is a Headphone monitoring Switch.   When
this switch is moved from Deck A to Deck B, you receive an "On" for Deck B
and an "Off" for Deck A.   When it is moved from Deck B back to Deck A, you
get an "Off" for Deck B and an "On" for Deck A...   So as you can see the
"Off" state is not coupled in the same action as the "On" state.

Where as with a normal Midi Button, you push the button creating an "On" and
when you release you get an "Off".

Cheers,
