Another option would be one of the Command Station units that we're made by
Emu.  They allow you to set up synced MIDI loops, and mute/umute, fade, 
pan,
filter and transmorgrify them on the fly with a bunch of front-panel 
switches
and knobs (its a tabletop unit).  I don't know for certain if you can
mute/unmute the loops via MIDI, but the MIDI implementation is pretty
comprehensive so I wouldn't be surprised if you could.  In addition, they 
have
solid synth engines with excellent filters and ROM expansion for more 
sounds. 
The only hitch is that Emu no longer makes them and they can only be found 
on
the used market.  E-bay always has several.
