I used my MPC-1000 with JJ OS. I have a 60 Mk I, but no room for it at the moment.
Yeah, I ran all the drums all at once, it was just the BS factory disk, I would like to try it with a drum kit of my own or a chopped break, but I haven't used the emax in that way much and I don't know on what zip they reside. I will sample some drums in soon and try again.
The midi file by itself may not replicate the scenario, since if it is voice stealing, the length of samples and release times will play into how it sounds when messed up.
