You may need to change some module settings to get the best out of the pads and sometimes a resistor across the pad can be helpful (eg with a Pintech Concertcast which produces quite a large signal).  I think the PD6,7,8 are piezo/switch type, so you should be ok.  Dual piezo ones can be more tricky to get both sounds, but it can still be done.
