[sdiy] midi and DIN sync in the one connector

I'm retrofitting my old Roland CR-8000 drum machine with a midi-to- 
trigger board.
To minimise cosmetic disfiguration, I thought I might make the DIN  
sync jack do double duty for midi.
That way I could run a simple preset pattern and spice it up with some  
extra notes/fills here and there.
Does anyone know if there is likely to be any problems doing this,  
say, caused by stray capacitance or crosstalk? The ground wire would  
have to be shared.

cheers
Adam
