Using a switch is definitely the better idea. If possible, do it like
that.

Otherwise, what I wrote stands: If you manually edit the resource file
of the control volume, it gets overwritten when you eg. add a node or
remove a node. So, as a highly unrecommended hack, you could (but you
really should _not_) add all three nodes and then manually edit the res
file.
