I've done that with two looping devices by muting and un-muting their  
mixer channel, but I don't know any looping device that can do it by  
itself. This was discussed two weeks ago on the Mobius list and  
Matthias Loibner said he uses that trick when looping live audi input  
on a laptop running parallel instances of Moebius. This can of course  
also be done in the Ableton Live software (recording to a muted  
channel while a loop keeps playing on another channel).
