Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Thank yoo Nicholas.

I think I'm stupid that I do not understand you (mean
not only you you all helping me). 

There are two things I do not understand.
1- When programming a preset on FCB, there are 5 PC
commands, and 2 CC commands. to configure CC command,
I press 6th switch in programming mode, and edit it,
asks a number (when number light blinked). What is
this number? CC# ? if yes what is CC value?
After saving these settings, configuring Vf-1, select
a patch, forexmp patch1, I want to on/off delay
effect, with preset on fcb, I select assign1 delay
on/off, targetmin off targetmax on, then comes source
type, what should I choose? is it the number I chose
when configuring fcb preset, given the control number.
if yes, the vf-1 asks for expedal, control1, control2,
midi1,midi2,...,midi95. what are these, which is the
cc#05 for ex. is that control1 or control2, or midi5?
I do not understand the terminology differs in both
equipment. What are these midi1....midi95? Are they PC
commands or CC commands, if yes, what are Control1 and
Control2 on source type section of vf-1? Do I have to
select cc numbers like 45, 78 and etc, why not 01 02
04?

I will not write the other issues, this is the most
important one and making me mad...
