i found the mfc-10 had too much latency to use with the repeater (for 
recording phrased loops) - i use the little digitech 3 button footswitch 
for that, but mfc-10 can be used for loop manipulations that don't need to 
be strictly in time.

the mfc-10 is a weird beast to program and the manual is most unhelpful, 
so i will try and offer some tips here...

first, you need to set the repeater to the desired midi channel and grab 
the manual so you can see which PC and CC numbers are used for each 
function

the mfc-10 uses an alphanumeric system to define which midi command is 
sent out on which channel

program changes are sent out between C0 and CF - the C denotes program 
change. 0 is midi channel 1, 1 is midi channel 2, 2 is midi channel 3... F 
is midi channel 16 

so as an example, if the repeater is set to midi channel 1 and you want 
your button to select track 1, then you would set up the mfc-10 like 
this...

C0
7
0
127
toggle off

triggering reverse would be this..

C0
84
0
127
toggle on

if you want to use CC numbers instead of program change numbers, then use 
b0-bF instead of C0-CF

hope that helps - unfortunately, i don't use my mfc-10 with my repeater 
any more, as i bought a novation remote zero sl for more hands-on control 
of my repeater and my looperlative, so i can't send you a sysex dump of my 
settings...
