Yes, use the 8 switch LCX file as connection diagram (it's in 
downloads, section other files).

Create a control cue like below, and leave it running in e.g. layer D 
(any unused layer). When you press the foot switch cue 50.1 starts 
running in layer A.

// Cuelist 6 (4 steps), modified 01-05-2006 12:40
001:
  hold for 0.05s
  go 001 if input 1 within 512 - max
  go 50.1 in layer A
  go 001


Or if you want a Go next in layer A, you must also test that the 
pedal is released:
// Cuelist 6 (6 steps), modified 01-05-2006 12:45
001:
  hold for 0.05s
  go 001 if input 1 within 512 - max // loop if not pressed
  go next in layer A
002:
  hold for 0.05s
  go 002 if input 1 within 0 - 512 // loop is still pressed
  go 001
