i don't think you get what i mean. i'm talking about if you recorded the outputs from both those decks, and laid them over the top of one another, and looked at them zoomed in so you could see the individual samples. they may sound in sync, but if you are hearing phasing, then they are not perfectly in sync, and this is what happens on the mpc. as ryssen pointed out, the mpc is not sample accurate when it triggers samples, so if you trigger layer the same sample over itself, they may be triggered a few milliseconds apart, which causes the phasing sound.
