Yamaha keyboard with midi to Behringer is202 plays GB voices. Concurrently, guitar does so with midi guitar. Now I want a footpedal to change GB voices. Do I connect to my keyboard midi in, or thru, or what?

Now that I have a tad more space...yes. I can access, play, GB voices with both/either, my yamaha keyboard with 5 pin midi in, out and thru ports....the out connected to the Behringer is202 docking station 5 pin midi in. My guitar, i actually put in multi input 1, so the app midi guitar gets it, and can play voices in GB as well and at the same time. In fact, if I want, I can substitute a mic and my voice, clapping and an array of live, analog sounds and the midi guitar will trigger GB voices.


So, so much for testing the set-up. Now it's on to performance mode, where I'll need to be able to change the GB voices live, and the way to do that while playing is a footpedal, and I'm going to try the Behringer FCB1010.


The question becomes, where do I insert that into the midi chain? I could plug it into the yamaha's 5 pin midi in...but I'm not looking to control it. So my guess is I would connect to the yamaha's 5 pin thru port, presuming it passes the foot pedals signal up the line with, instead or along with the actual keyboard signals (not that I would be playing it at the point I want to change voices).


The idea is, I'm playing guitar and need to change GB voice, hit the pedal. Or, I'm playing piano and want to change to organ.


Thanks in advance everyone...
