Footswitch support thru USB.
Need a device with USB HID support (keyboard/joystick); to check this you can connect an USB keyboard or a joystick with an USB OTG adapter cable and try to trigger events. If it works then also a generic HID USB footswitch should work.

Great app. I was looking for an alternative to Funk Drummer for iOs. This works great the samples are great too. Some beats are a it to busy for my use. Programming new beats is great but a little difficult at first. Having a grid like most sequencer would help a lot. Dont understand how to assign the short fill in button. Also, the fills start as soon as you tap the screen. It would be nice if you tap and it starts on the one of the next bar. Not complaining though this is great plus the price
