Set a keyframe on the bones. By default, regardless of how the switch is
set, either method of manipulating the chain will modify it. The blend
parameter is only for when both are being simultaneously
constrained/animated, and XSI needs to know which takes precedence. At
least that's how I've always seen it work.
