M/S on Utility device/easiest way to switch between Mid/Side/Stereo?

I'm trying to make an MXXX device with a custom GUI to use within Gig Performer/Cantabile to control basic Master output functions like level, mid/side monitoring/bandpass etc since Voicemeeter leaves much to be desired.

Is there a pre-existing device that offers a simple parameter to switch between mid and side? Volume & Panorama offers a Widening control that does mono (which is likely collapsed stereo instead of the mid signal) but no 'side only' option. Utility doesn't have one either which seems strange considering how many parameters it has

I've resorted to splitting LR into MS and then adding a Volume/Pan device after each output and then assigned bypass on both devices to a multiparameter and then made a Bank to switch between the three values, which seems exceedingly convoluted for a very simple process.

Is there an easier way to do this that I'm missing?

In MUtility the "coder" parameter will give you the different outputs. But they are not labeled in the common way.
For example:
Left+Right -> Mono = "Mid" (or Sum which is technically more correct).
Left+Right -> Stereo = "Side" (or Difference).

thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately LR>Stereo (difference) sums back to mono, I'm essentially looking for a 'mute mid' option. One would think with all the myriad MB stuff/crossovers/stereo devices there would be an easy way to do this

Oh yeah, true that function returns an in phase mono representation of the side. Using this in MXXX will present it out of phase.

I think MStereoScope has that.
