Yes, I hear you. When bringing EDP + laptop to gigs I use to run my  
instrument into one soundcard input 1(RME Multiface). Then I use the  
RME Totalmix software to split it: one signal going into the software  
and one signal going directly out through the RME monitoring output  
and into the EDP. From the EDP comes back only the looped audio which  
goes into input 2. Now, with that fix I can apply software treatments  
to (a) my direct instrument signal and (b) my EDP loops.

This, my experience, makes for a good pilot test of what you want to  
do and I'm happy to tell you it works perfectly, without latency  
between the direct signal and the signal sent to the EDP. But you  
also want to dynamically control the RME Totalmix by external MIDI  
and I'm not sure that is possible. I'm not doing it and I have only  
heard of it in relation to LC Xmu, which is OS X only.
