I searched and couldn’t find an answer-is it possible to scroll through banks via midi?

I’ve searched and can’t really find an answer for this. 
 

What I am looking to do is to emulate what FS4/5 can do when they are set up as “Bank Up/Bank Down” on my HX Stomp. I plan to use the controller jack on the HX for EXP2 and Tap Tempo/Tuner on FS4. I can get it to scroll presets through midi, but I would prefer to be able to display banks, since for me, it would be quicker.

Here's all the MIDI info in one simple web page.

Thank you, I looked at that page, but I didn’t see where it talked about scrolling banks via midi. I will admit, I’m not the most midi-savvy individual , so perhaps I missed it.

if your scrolling is done using a footswitch you can access that footswitch via CC commands that directly fire off the footswitches.  If you've configured FS4/5 to scroll banks, then you simply send the appropriate CC command for FS4 (CC# 52) and FS5 (CC# 53) to get the same effect.  Or am I misunderstanding something here?

There isn't a direct MIDI message to control Bank Up/Down functions. The only way you can do it by assigning those functions to FS4 and FS5 and emulating those footswitches via MIDI.

I don’t think in my case that would work, as I’m using the FS4/FS5 jack for tap tempo/tuner and EXP2.

Darn, that’s what I was starting to think was going to be the reality.
