If its absolutely necessary, just bring along an Oxygen 8 or other
inexpensive controller that supports pressure sensitivity, and trigger
the pads from there. In fact, with the Oxygen, you'll even have 8
extra knobs you can use, too. As far as I can remember, MachineDrum
still responds to pressure sensitivity (mapped to volume) this way. I
have done this using my Nord Lead 3 in the past.

I think that once you start using the MachineDrum you will realize
that it is not really necessary for it to have pressure sensitive pads
since the control you have over each track is amazing.  Not to mention,
you could always map the LFO of a track to its amplitude or any of its
other parameters to vary the sound over time...
