Midi fighter with broken MPD16 pads?

I have a broken MPD16 laying around, could I use the sensors and pads with the Midi Fighter? The chip on the MPD is borked, the pads are fine…

Why in the world would you want that?

Just looking for a way to make them useful. Kind of a shame they go to waste. The midi fighter is just a circuit you add tactile controls to, correct? Maybe I should find a cheaper option…
