Sounds like you want a sampler. :)

Tonight I was running the MD and a 909 synced together. I compared the
sounds. The MD sounds crisp and clear, the 909 has a much more muffled
sound. Next time I'll add some EQ to the 909 to make it brighten
up. Those hihats are nice, but they are just samples, and can be found
in every sample library on earth...

The MD is for me a new instrument with new sonical capabilities, not
something made to emulate the sounds from old drummachines (Despite
the E12 kit...). That said, most of the time I have a hard time
finding suitable hihats.

I don't remember if support@... is the right address to send
suggestions to, but it won't hurt at least. :)
