[sdiy] Sk-1 Trigger in mod help?

[Plutonique9]

Hey people,
I've been having a terrible time trying to modify my Sk-1 so that the 
sequencer will track to an external trigger.
I was trying to use a 4016 gate, with either side of the "one key 
play" button contacts connected up to the input/output of the gate 
chip, it took me a while also to figure out that the gate chip would 
only work with a s-trigger, in the end it was giving me to much 
trouble with interference (ie. false crazy triggering when my hand 
was close in proximity to my mod PCB board), and the triggering was 
also only about 75 percent reliable.

I know that i am going about this the hard way, theres got to be a 
simpler trigger in mod for the Sk-1, I've read about many people 
performing it, but no one has documented it at all, Reed Ghazala 
metions it in his Sk-1 article, but gives no details about performing 
the mod, and from the sounds of it, it ddn't sound like he was 
screwing around with analog gates.

Can anyone on this list help me out with this at all?

Thankyou for your time
