I might be mistaking, but isn't the switch for the TMI just for program 
changing? Though ought to work with just about anything... I haven't tested 
on mine I think, but I use a momentary double switch for my Roland SVC-350 
to just about anything in the studio (including killing the decay of the 
SDS-V hihat) without any problems...

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.

Re: [Simmons Drums] TMI accessory wanted

2006-10-21 by hamsterdrum85

I would not have any problem with making the physical parts of the
switch. All I would need to do is make a mold out of silicone rubber
and make the switch out of plastic resin. The only problem is the
force sensitive resistor. Is there a certain number of ohms on these
type of resistors? How do I attach one to the circuit board? Can
anyone help me with the attachment of such part?

Thanks
