The Region Button Meter can act as a Region Button and a Region Meter. When a control is dropped onto the Region Button Meter a dialogue box will appear which allows you to select which parameter to control. For example, the region button meter can display values as colours like a region meter and act as a toggle switch like a region button.

These turn points can be removed by left clicking on a handle whilst holding the shift key. Turn points may also be added by left clicking on a handle whilst holding the ctrl key, these will appear at a clockwise position from the selected handle.

The colour for each binary value of the Region Button Meter can be customized from the properties pane along with the on / off opacity value.
