The 606 only does straight grid programming, ie: no shuffle/swing so keep your pattern locked to a hard 16th. Round robin is a good idea, but the pitch variation is unnecessary. The real 606 doesn't really drift in pitch. The voices are monophonic, ie: the cymbal will cut off its tail with fast 16ths, and the CHH will cut off the tail of the OHH. Programming a CHH over top of an OHH gives a weird accented CHH that has a somewhat longer decay than a normal CHH and is louder. The 606 also sums everything to a single mono output.
Finally, try to get some solidstate into the sound, ie: bring it out of Battery and into the domain of transistors and capacitors and bring it back in at 24 bit resolution. Maybe sample the Tape606 sounds into your triton and record the output (in mono, a lá real 606) coming into your preamp, for example.
hth. | Thank you both guys. I think I got what I wanted to know. Now waiting to get back home and begin programming!  .
