A switch is engaged when it is active or at least one referring activator is engaged.
jOrgan offers several specialized switches:
- Activator
- Engage referenced switches.
- Combination
- Activate/deactivate referenced switches.
- Captor
- Capture referenced combinations.
- Coupler
- Relay key presses/releases.
- Connection switch

- Incrementer
- Increment/decrement referenced regulators or memory elements.
- Keyer
- Generate a key press/release.
- Panic switch
- Release all pressed keys of referenced Keyboards.
- Reengage switch
- Reenage all referenced Ranks. (No Reengage Switch page exists.)
- Stop
- Engage ranks.
- Switch filter
- Filter messages of ranks.
- Synchronizer
- Synchronize switches.
A switch is engaged either when it is active, either directly or indirectly by referring activators.
You can use jOrgan's customize wizard to easily adjust switches to your required wikipedia:Midi settings.

To control a switch via note on (144) / note off (128) wikipedia:Midi messages you could use the following values:
|
Name |
|
|---|---|
|
Activate |
equal 144, equal 64, |
|
Deactivate |
equal 128, equal 64, |
Note that the third byte of messages is ignored, hence the trailing comma. You can read these messages as:
"Every time a note on (144) with pitch 64 is received, activate this switch."
"Every time a note off (128) with pitch 64 is received, deactivate this switch."
