The Xbase09 HH is indeed a really good reproduction of the original. AFAIK it uses the same structure (heavily compressed samples + analog VCA). I guess, Juergen read out the data from the original ROMs.
Anyway back in 1997 when I got the Xbase, I did some tests to compare the HH with the original. I fed 2 channels of the mixer which HHs, one from the XBase and one from the 909. Then I set the same off-beat open-HH-pattern and adjusted the XBase for the same tuning on the HH as my 909.
When playing both HH together it gave a pretty cool flanging effect, showing that there are very minimal differences between both channels.
When switching between both channels, both HH did sound identical...
