I'm pretty sure that you can only do so physically through the regulator, I hope someone can prove me wrong though. So in this case you would need to change in between matches, although you could hook up a servo to it, but you would have to gear it to allow multiple rotations.

One other way you could do this is use multiple regulators all being tied to the same piston with solenoids regulating each and fire different solenoids in order to send different pressures to the cylinder.

Another way you could do so would be to only turn the compressor on for a specified amount of time, but the problem with this would be the fact of how unreliable it would be in competition.
