So far you have described what you want to do as "to loop in real-time, using an external input like a MIDI controller". So I guess one important step for you is to address the parameters of the PSP42 by external midi. Now, there are certain midi controllers for external control given by the manual, but I never got these parameters to move when I tried sending the given midi controller msgs into the plug-in. Instead I turned to host applications that will let you assign a midi controller to plug-in parameters. Ableton Live is the easiest one, you simply activate "midi learn mode", click on the graphical representation of the parameter and move your physical controller to send a midi msg into Live - done! Also Numerology will also give you access to all parameters of the plug-ins, by defining the midi cc assignments in certain "control modules". Now, exactly which parameters in the PSP42 you need to control is all depending on how you want to loop. There are a bunch of features that come in handy: Freeze Loop, Half Speed (also doubling the loop length), Feedback (better assign it to an expression pedal, knob or fader), Length (also affecting pitch). I'm just picking from my memory here so those functions may be named a bit differently by the manual.
