[Help] How can I address timbres?

How about moving the relevant volume slider up with a free finger? Save the Combi with that timbre volume set low, or drag the slider down after selecting the Combi but before starting the piece.

I use a volume pedal and do this all the time.

Or instead of a volume slider, use the switch above to mute/unmute the timbre. Just make sure your control surface is set to timbre/track mode.

Several good methods already mentioned. One other idea...create two combi's (or more) and using a footswitch to advance thru them. I frequently have several combi's in one song. Put them in order in 'set list' and voila!

This guy in the linked video did't have enough hands to play his instrument so he used his feet and toes. I have seen others get their legs up high enough to even steer while driving. So i imagine if two hands aren't enough, kicking a leg up to shoulder level and putting the toes to work on sliders and switches is not any less possible than "Toe Jam" on a guitar.

And then there is the option to have a mouth-wand that you hold in your mouth, and then use neck movements to get the mouth-wand over the switches and sliders to work them.

One solution could be for you to duplicate the program you need to have a precise max volume, adjust the overall volume, save it under a different name, then modify your combi replacing the timbre with the edited one. Then you will exactly the correct volume once you set it at max.

And with the play/mute buttons it works if I reach on the perfect time so that's why I've asked if there is a way to address the timbre to the SW buttons it's easier access to me, that's all.

yes,
use AMS mixer with gate option assigned to a switch for the timbre.
set it to velocity or some other parameter so it opens / closes with the s/w
or if you done want to edit the timbre itself, you can use an ifx slot and route the timbre through it. use the stereo/mono gate on it , set the threshold as desired and set the sw1 or sw2 for wet/dry mix, 100% wet will likely be muted/attenuated.
another way is to use karma setup , so scene switching mutes / enablers a track.
