I think it's a misunderstanding that lead to a feature change. I wrote this in the JJ OS shortcut topic but if you ask NYM maybe he could answer

Bug fixes & Addition:MPC1000 OS2XL Ver3.04 11-OCT-2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<<Change>>
1. [GRID]
Behavior of the STEP button was changed.
When the type of a track is DRUM, a vertical marker is moved to the next event or back event on a horizontal marker, by a SHIFT+ <BAR> button.
Prior to os2xl v3.04 SHIFT + <BAR> = move to the next event (line+column)
Now with 3.04 SHIFT + <BAR> = move to the next event on the same line
Nym's explanations :
^ i requested that one. it's tricky to explain but extremely useful.
the best way to explain is to go into MIDI grid, record a performance, then go back to the start.
then, hit shift+bar >
note that the cursor moves to the next note
continue to hit shift+bar>
note that the cursor moves to the next note again (and so on).
the best part about this is for editing specific notes timings then quickly moving to the next instead of whirlin the data wheel.
now, in DRUM edit, the old behavior was to move the cursor horizontally, but not vertically.
so if you recorded pad A01 and pad A16 and tried to "move to next note"
vertically, you'd still be on A01 but horizontally you'd be at the time of A16.
this is good for editing NV data
but it's also especially powerful for various macros.
