If this has already been answered in detail then please direct me to the correct thread.
Otherwise, I'm just looking for a quick answer to which type of external footswitch I'd need to tap for the next preset and hold it down for the previous one?
Because all of this 'momentary/latching/TS/TRS' talk is a little confusing, if I'm honest. xD

Tanks!
 
You need a momentary switch to make that work. Assign it as a Stand-In switch. Then you can define it however you want.

The FM3 unfortunately does not support a dual switch into a single jack via a TRS cable. (Sorry, Fake News:D)

If you are only wanting to add 1 switch, a single, 'momentary', 'normally open', switch with a standard TS cable will work fine as a 'stand-in' switch.

I've been stomping on one of these for 15+ years without issue, but you need to be handy with a solder gun and wiring for this option
Grainger metal switch

This is a cheap option that is ready to go.. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PedalSquare--m-audio-sp-1-sustain-pedal

A minor detail, a normally open or normally closed momentary switch will work. The polarity of the switch can be changed in the Setup>I/O menu.
