Subject:Electribe ER-1 Syncing with AcidPro

I have a question. I have made about 11 or 12 songs with
acidpro and loop librarys. I would like to go out and do
live shows, but acid is a studio based program, not really
ideal for live PAs. What I was wondering though is this;
Recently I got an Electribe ER-1 and a Korg Prophecy.

Is there any way I could sync up the beat of the Electribe
ER-1 and the beat in Acid pro. I will give an example of
what I want to do...

I would like to play one of my songs made in acid, but near
the end, while the song is still in a good groove, take a
loop of about 4 measures, and have it just play and repeat
so you have a solid groove. Then I want to hit play on the
Electribe ER-1 and have the beats synced up, so I could now
jam out on my drum machine, with the main beat from the
recorded song still playing. This is like a live remix of a
recorded work.

I was also thinking the same thing for the Prophecy (A
monophonic synth... nice capabilities as far as basslines
and arpeggios) I would just use a phat drum loop from
acidpro, have a bassline from the prophecy, and jam out on
the electribe (Drum machine).

I am just wondering if and how to do that. If anyone has
any suggestions, please let me know.
