The tonal qualities should be able to be emulated with filters, and eq.
The aliasing sound when detuning can be done with samplerate reduction.
Lowering the bit rate has never helped me.
Exact pinpoint emulation would be tough, but getting close is very possible.
Close enough to fool the listener for sure.

I have a Zoom sampletrak, and it's also got a lot of lo-fi personality.
Emulating it is tough, but eq actually seems to be the gateway here.
Adding the aliasing artifacts helps with emulating detuned sounds.

I wasn't able to get close to the sound of my sampler until I added eq into the equation.

With that said I usually load up voxengo boogex with mpc60 impulse's, and use that.
It can do nice things to drums.
