Can you elaborate on what makes the quant/swing functions more 
musical?  I hear people talk about this all the time, yet I think
they are talking more about the timing than the actual math used to 
move notes.

I used to use an MPC3000 and imported 16th note swing settings into 
cubase and didnt see anything magical going on as far as note 
placement.  

How is 16th note quant, or 54% swing on an MPC any different than 
other devices/software?
