Dave,

I don't know whether this is what you're after, but the Voice Edit 
Mode contains a page called "Function" (2-6?), which enables an input 
to "control playback of a pad song." The next section (2-7?), 
entitled "Pad Song" sets song selection and playback mode for that 
input. I imagine that what you'd want to do is have foot close on the 
hi hat controller start and stop the dyad. I've never used this 
function, so I can't be more specific.
