I've just tested my bd909 module with a 1ms pulse and a 50ms pulse, 
using shorter pulse it's tighter and has more punch, at 50ms or 
longer it's a longer splat sound, definately different. You'd need 
to try it for yourself to see if that is what you're looking for. 
There's probably a cap change that could help. I think the worst 
offender for pulse length is the sd808, with longer pulses it hardly 
triggers at all and sounds very different. Best way really is to use 
a midi to trigger unit to fire the concussor modules, as these 
generally have pretty short pulse lengths.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Allan
