MIDI control of AMP vsts in Mainstage

Hi all.

Waiting for my Brain JR to arrive so I can start my build. What I am looking to achieve is very much what it says in the title.

 I am using Mainstage on a MAC with various amplifier plug ins (mainly from LePou) - and find that having to use the mouse/track pad to change amplifier settings a bit of a pain, so what I plan to do is build an amplifier "head" with enough knobs and buttons to emulate what I see in the plug in.

Setting up the potentiometers is relatively straightforward (from what I have read) - but some plug ins have toggle switches to control amplifier channel (i.e. dirty/clean, hi-gain/lo-gain) - some switches are three way - so clean/dirty/filthy - the question is how would I wire these in....presumably they are digital connections - so could I wire two ground wires to the ground contact on the switch, and one each to the live contacts on the switch - and then use two digital connections - so one ground and one live to digital 1 and digital 2....and if I had different coloured LEDs for each channel would this make the LEDs light up correctly?

 

Thanks in advance
