LD isn't live looping specific any more than it's
guitar specific ;-)

not sure, the RC-50 has a pathetic midi implementation,
but may *just* do what you want.
Check out the manual, there's a very limited couple of midi
commands available at any one time (with the RC-50 menu system
being used to select them ). 
It may be that you could set to select a loop, start *and* stop it.
(sorry, I only had the RC-50 for a couple of days on loan, otherwise
  a complete answer would be forthcoming)
