Live Performance Hardware Looping Equipment Question - Need Help

[Michael Clark <mcl451@airmail.net>]

Hi,

I want to begin performing some of my music live.

I'm looking for a Very Stable machine/unit/box that I can load/record my
VST32/SX songs into and play live with a drummer and bass player.

Here's the hard part, it seems.  I want to establish one or more loop
points in each song that I can trigger (preferably via midi) so that a
particular piece of the song will seamlessly loop until I give the command
to stop looping and continue playing thru the song.

I've talked to Tascam, Yamaha and Roland.  They say they don't have
anything that will do something that is such a no-brainer for Cubase and
other sofware programs.  I just want to loop certain pre-determined parts
of song - seamlessly - glitch free.  Is that too much to ask?  I hope not.

I don't want to use Cubase because it's not stable for a live performance -
imo.  Too scary for me!

Any ideas?  

Thanks!

M...

Btw, someone has mentioned the Roland CDX-1, but I can't find the manual on
the web.
