Ahoy all! Quick question on what I might be able to do with switch params inside Gen~… Specifically something like an argument that would return a float representing the number of seconds the switch has been held down?
There’s something like this in the PD integration, but I haven’t been able to find anything like it for Oopsy? In another post, Mr. GrrrWaaa explained things like:
E.g. [param cv1_int_foo @min 0 @max 4] will only ever send 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Also, [param cv2_bool_foo @min 2 @max 5] will only ever be 2 or 5, etc.
Is there more here than just offs and ons?

Yep, i need this info too! And another question about param modifiers for Encoder on Daisy Patch.
“Is there more here than just offs and ons?” – yes – if you don’t use “int” or “bool” in the param name, you will get full unquantized floating point resolution. Apologies if I’m misunderstanding the question.
For “the number of seconds the switch has been held down”, there’s a few different ways to approach it – depending on whether this is something you want to know continuously, or only after the button is released, etc. Here’s a patch that shows both of those – you could turn the core of this into an abstraction for re-use:

I very glad to see mr. Grrrwaaa here! 
May be you can answer my question about param modifiers for encoder in daisy patch?
Int, bool etc works with main four knobs (cv1-cv4), but when i create more then four params, as you know, i can use encoder and oled screen for them. But all modufiers, such as bool, int not working with it. Only floating numbers. I wanna use encoder for switches, for change some int numbers (for samples, pitches or waves ,for example), but i cant
