It figures as the great grand daddy of them all, the Linn 9000 can do
this.  You can select the "repeat" function and when you hold down say
the snare pad, the more force you put in the louder the snare roll.
Most excellent.

The Linn, if I can remember correctly, has a spiral pattern of resistive
material under each pad.  I suppose the harder you push down the lower
the resistance.
