I believe it is brake on/off. But the pressure builds gradually. Depress your brakes and on the bottom left of your sash you can see the left/right brake indicators move. And only way you have left or right is by moving the rudder. There is some sort of mechanism that allows pressure to rise or drop to reach brake depending on rudder input.
