Hi Matthias

I think any good sampler with a seq (internale or dedicated device) should
do the work.

the seq should sync the sampler AND the looper to the same bar lenght. In
this way you could play your loops
over perfectly synchronized sampled grooves.

Knowing how a good seq can be rock solid about time (and having sadly
experienced sample drifting due to bad sync) I don't think this approach is
quite accurate. 
all the latest sampler seem to have good sequencing capabilities inside. go
for it...
