The manual seems to indicate it's a switch:

4th Pedal settings: Adjust the behavior of the fourth pedal feature.
- 4th Pedal icon: Indicates whether the fourth pedal feature is on (pedal white) or off (pedal grayed out). You can turn the fourth pedal on or off using the 4th Pedal On/Off switch located in the Anatomy section of the Piano page. Refer to Anatomy section for more information. The other 4th Pedal settings have an effect only if the fourth pedal is active.
- 4th Pedal CC: Shows the MIDI CC number assigned to the fourth pedal. You can choose another MIDI CC number by clicking the display and selecting the desired number from the drop-down menu. Alternatively you can click the 4th Pedal MIDI Learn button (MIDI socket icon) next to the CC field and move the desired control element on your MIDI controller to quickly assign it to the fourth pedal.
- 4th Pedal Strength: Adjusts the virtual distance between the hammers and the strings, thus the amount of loudness reduction induced by the pedal.

Thank you.

Effectively, as the parameter ‘4th Pedal Strength’ specifies a static value to adjust the virtual distance between the hammers and the strings, it seems that it’s a switch.

A continuous would allow a dynamic value.
