How to invert midi control polarity?

I have a MIDI foot controller with an 'expression pedal-like' foot dial. I map it to scene selection dial. The thing is, it moves the selector up when the pedal goes towards the 'UP (inclined)' position and down when the pedal goes towards the 'DOWN (horizontal)' position. I'd like it to be the other way around. How do I flip this control around?

    Could you maybe switch the polarity on the footswitch itself (they normally have a small switch somewhere on them)

    Hi mcbpete,

    I thought of it first time but it's an old Roland FC200 which apparently does not allow to do so.
