What are you trying to do?  

(1) You can set the foot switches to different CCs.
Think of the footswitches as Continuous Controllers that have two states: on and off. You can program them to do different things based on these states.

(2) You can use midi controllers (CC = 0 -> 31, Mpr, or PWh)to change the base tempo. For example, you can use one CC to step the tempo up and a different CC to step the tempo down. 

If you set "UP" to PWh, the center = your base tempo, up = tempo up, and down = tempo down. If you set "DOWN" to PWh, the center = your base tempo, up = tempo down, and down = tempo up.

You can do the same thing if you set UP and DOWN to the same CC. For example, I used a slider on a usb keyboard set to transmit CC = 25. The mid point of the slider = the base tempo. Moving it down makes the tempo go down; moving it above midpoint makes the tempo go up from the original base tempo.

When I set UP to CC = 25 and DOWN to CC = 26, moving the slider set to transmit CC = 25 from 0 to 127 increases the tempo from the base tempo. Conversely, moving the slider set to transmit CC = 26 from 0 to 127 decreases the tempo from the base tempo.

Just don't ask me how to set the range of the tempo increase and decrease.

I never did anything with tempo controller before, but a quick test confirms that it works. Thanks for asking. I have thought about trying the tempo controller thing out, but never had a reason to do so. I hope this helps.
