Although I own and use the mysterious PMC-10, it would be great if the Looperlative had a MIDI learn function that used Patch Changes to execute its functions--so we could use the more available MIDI foot controllers.

Enough (and that is an arguable and subjective quantity, to be sure) of the Looperlative's capabilities *must* be immediately usable/available so the buyer can get a feel for what is possible. If the capabilities in the Looperlative are only really accessible after programming a midi footpedal, that makes it very hard to try-out or evaluate in a store. It this happens, then the best sales tool you have is the Users Manual, which for the potential buyer becomes the only way to know what is possible.
