Hey Tom,

Since no one's rushing to answer your question definitively, I can't 
imagine that it wouldn't work, given the adaptor. I should mention, 
however, that I haven't tried it. I have heard, however, that certain 
older Roland pads did not appear to be compatible with the PMC1 for 
some reason, but you are unlikely to have that problem. Hopefully, 
someone with firsthand experience will agree with me.
