man, im 100% positive. dilla didnt use the swing quantize. besides, he used the 3000, and it doesnt even have the swing features that mpcs have today.

MPC's were bough out by numark. So if you get anything later then a 2000xl, your not using that same warm old mpc that they used back then..

does it have time correction? he might of been using that, so his snares come late or kicks come early.........thats crazy the 3000 doesnt have swing i never knew that

it does have swing, but its different then what our mpc has.

and bonita, trust me. Im 100% positive that the swing your hearing is all human. Like, there is 0 doubt in my mind.

hahahahha, alright grimeshine......im trusting you one this.....

you can replicate it in a computer sequencer with grid snapping turned off, so you can be accurate to the milliseconds on where you want each sample. just keep rearranging until it has that sound.
but as for doing it on an MPC, i think dilla was just hearing something much different than the rest of us, and he tapped into it.
if it was a programmed function, i think lots more people than you would be interested in using it.

mello the last beat you did for our teamn battle had some ill ass drums, those to me are what you can pretty much call slumped out...

and the ultra-sensitive computer sequencing was how i did it.
extremely geeky, but effective.
i do admire dilla's drum style but only from afar. don't wanna bite it completely, but i can learn from it.
and i'm really glad yall liked my first battle beat here.

ill probably never understand this no quantizing thing... but im not really sample based either...
