"Cycle" mode in addition to "Gate" and "Toggle" for buttons

Many of the V collection synths have 3-way or 4-way switches. For example: [ sine | square | saw ] or [ low pass | high pass | bandpass ]. Currently these cannot be assigned to toggle switches. You must assign them to faders or rotary knobs, which is a waste of one of these controllers. Most hardware controllers are extremely resource contrained - this is a real waste of fader/knob real estate. The Arturia Keylab MkII in particular, has many user assignable buttons/switches, but only 18 knobs/faders. Most of the V Collection synths have well over 18 controls.

Let me pitch an idea (N.P.I): cycle mode for switches. The idea is that every time you press a button, the state cycles between 3, 4 or 5 values (perhaps as many as the user wishes to add). These would be user assignable. This way you could use a button to toggle between sine/square/saw without wasting an entire knob/fader. Otherwise you need to grab your mouse to change one of these parameters, which defeats the purpose of owning a hardware midi controller.

This feature would also address the issue of not being able to send incremental/decremental program changes,

I would like to second (third?) this suggestion. I'm just getting to know the V collection and starting to map controls, and while overall I'm very impressed with each synth's features, CPU load, and sounds, the ability of buttons to cycle is one aspect where my Reason synths work better (CPU load being the main area where they do not).

Question, how do you get buttons to "Toggle" controls? Right now, they only switch things if you hold them down and revert things back once you release, and I haven't found a way to get them to toggle in the manuals.

Thanks!
