Not only it is for program changing, it is also for stepping back and
forth between sequences and patches, as mentioned in the TMI owner's
manual I downloaded. I had to download the instructions because I
really did not understand how to program the devicesince I bought it
on eBay in September, 2004. Since I already got the Yamaha DTX 2.0's
72 MIDI notes programmed onto the console's 28th dum kit on MIDI
channel 10, and as soon as I can get two more all-black Simmons SDS9
tom pads (no snare pads) to complete my kit, I will start programming
my TMI and I will use the footswitch to go back and forth between the
50 patches on that unit so I will not have to reach down, try to read
the LED display, and push the arrow buttons after playing a song. This
would be the same procedure as from back when I played my Simmons
SDS1000 live on stage (before I was told I cannot play them anymore
due to all of the negative feedback like "can this kid afford real
drums?", "those things look stupid!!!", and "these drums sound like
crud!!!"). Yes, I did have a regular Simmons footswitch for the
SDS1000, but I found out it doesn't work on my TMI because it requires
a dual footswitch.
Thanks for asking.
