put the snare on two adjacent pads and program your roll into the sequence (two fingers on two pads).

note repeat a snare can give you a roll when you adjust timing.

to drop out music/tracks use track mute (this works when the snare is on a track by itself).

you can go into step edit and erase all other notes that happen when the snare roll is played (somewhat programming a mute)

Think man think.

You can't stop the beat in song mode(at least in the mpc 2000 I don't know for newer models), you could do that in your DAW if you use one(mute automation) or do what Lampdog said.

put a 1 bar sequence in your song mode that has nothign but a snare roll in it.. if you need to make it half a bar, double the bpm, etc...
