Using a Boss MS3 to switch patches on Future Impact

I don’t have the Boss unit but I’m an FI owner and I use MIDI a lot. Are you pretty experienced with MIDI? Changing patches on the FI is a simple PC command; I’m assuming you got that far. Default on the FI, I think, is that it listens on all MIDI channels but if you got it used maybe it was switched to a different channel...

 

I am in need some help here as I am new to Midi.

I have a new Boss MS-3 with firmware version 1.06. I also have a new Future Impact 1 pedal. I have not been able to get Midi to talk between the two devices? I have watched a few of the You Tube tutorials but have not found the right combination yet I guess? Do I need to purchase a Roland UM-ONE mk2 so that I can see what is going on with the Future Impact on my laptop, etc.

If someone has done this combination in the past and has it working I would really appreciate some detailed instructions.

Thanks for any assistance TB'ers!
