MIDI Footswitch used with XWP1

Alright I have a question that might be stupid but it's stumping me and figure someone on here might be able to help. I have a Casio XWP1, it's about two years old now, and I was wanting to hook up a midi foot controller to it to be able to switch between patches/tones. What are all the things that need to be enabled on the keyboard for it to recognize the controller and do I need to move my tones into the performance function for it to be able to switch between them. I've been looking specifically at the behringer fcb1010 if anyone already uses one and could even help with the controller set-up.

Here's the manual for the FCB1010 http://www.behringer.com/assets/fcb1010_p0089_m_en.pdf

 

Pages 6 thru 10 are pretty straightforward about setting up the switches to control banks and programs.

 

Otherwise pretty much all you'd have to do is hook the pedalboard's MIDI OUT to the XW's MIDI IN and it should work with all the Preset Tone Banks out of the box.

 

One thing to keep in mind is that the XW-P1 uses the Controller 0 method of bank selection.

OK, I just posted this for the PX-5S, but for the XW, I want to use an iRig Blueboard to change performance presets.  It uses two prog or ctrl values of 0-127 for its 4 buttons.  I'm not obviously great at figuring out midi (say i'm a midiot  :P ) but how do you figure out which value to use?  Does the x,21 refer to prog and x,31 refer to ctrl values?
