If I'm not mistaken, and remember correctly, it sounds like setting the loop-length to one segment, and traversing the loop-start along in real-time. I always did it manually, but with a triggered function curve mapped to loop-start (via function editor) you can probably automate it.

AON (Jeczalik) does that (and some other on-the-fly voice manipulation) in the song "Legs". Listen out for it.

This kind of thing is great musical fun, especially with kids and people who have never played with samplers before. Any fairlight is certainly a great ambassador to the world of sampling.
