I'd say its a bad idea to rely on some minimum or maximum trigger
  length... I've seen sub-millisecond triggers... and some much longer.
  
  If you get into triggers more than a few milliseconds long, they are likely to
  affect the sound of the modules they are controlling.
  
  If its a problem for a particular user, they could do the RC trick
  (which does NOT work if the trigger is already generated by an unbuffered
  RC) ... or add an active one-shot for their particular issue.
  
  Can't make everyone happy :^P   (except me)

  with stretching the pulse is that you want to detect a trigger only 
  once.  So, having detected it with a stretched pulse, you now need to 
  ignore it until it goes away.  My initial thought was that you could 
  assign the AtomPro pins appropriately such that you could use one of 
  the hardware level interrupts.  I'm assuming these are edge and not 
  level.  However, if they are level, then you have the same issue.  In 
  thinking about this, I'm starting to come to the conclusion that you 
  can detect triggers via timer interrupts.  
  
  I general run my timer interrupt at 1 mS.  Most of my triggers are at 
  least this wide (Is this a true statement in general?).  Assuming 
  triggers are at least 2 mS, it should be pretty simple to sample the 
  digital input and look for a state change in a timer interrupt 
  routine.  This state change could then set a global variable that a 
  trigger had occurred.  The software could poll the variable and decide 
  what to do with it whenever.  If you need immediate action, you can 
  always do this inside of the timer interrupt routine.
  
  I think I can code this up in a pretty minimal overhead mechanism.  I 
  should have thought of it earlier as I already have interrupt routines 
  for input averaging the analog inputs.
  
  This is probably a simpler solution that would work and maintain code 
  compatibility and minimal hardware.
