Controlling GCX with Roland FC-200?

I want to control my G-Major and GCX with a Roland FC-200 controller. It was pretty easy to set the FC-200 to do program changes on the G-Major. Ideally, what I want to do is ADD the on/off commands for each of the loops on the GCX, by each selected patch. I have poured through the manuals for all of the three units and I have to be missing something. Alternatly, It would work if I could figure out how to send the MIDI signals from the G-Major to the GCX, based of patch selected. But, It doesn't look like the G-Major actually has any MIDI control...

The GCX responds to MIDI Control Change messages 80-87 on MIDI Channel 16.
It looks like the Controller Numbers Settings section of the FC-200 manual under Parameters With Settings That Can Be Changed, explains how to program individual buttons to send individual messages, but I am unsure if it is possible with the FC-200 to send a string of all eight Control Change messages that are required for preset style control. I hope that helps.

Thank you for the info John. I will look at the FC 200 manual in further detail and experiment and post my results. Hopefully, I can solve this riddle and share to benifit others trying the same.
