Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Forgive me for such amateur questions, but I tend never use timing for my drums, but I'm experimenting here after reading another post.

1. When applying timing correct, if I increase the swing from 50% to 60% but leave the amount field at '0", is swing still applied? Or is the shift timing exclusive of the swing?

2. I'm sure this has been asked a milliong times over, but just to confirm, once I implement timing correct on a particular pad, if I start recording a new track, those settings would have no effect on the new track, correct. I'm thinking most likely not, since you do have to process the timing correct by selecting "do it", but I'd just like to be sure.

Thanks.

1 - the shift timing and swing are independent, so if you leave the amount field at zero, the swing is still applied

2 - you have to turn the swing back to 50% if you want it not to effect a new track. Pressing 'do it' affects the track after it's already been laid down, but if you leave the swing at, say, 60% and lay down a new track, the quantize will shift things to that setting

hope that helps

Thanks a lot.
