swing feature

so here's the deal:
i REALLY don't understand how the swing feature works on the mpc 2500. what exactly does this feature do? which notes does it affect and what does it do to them (moves them forward or back or what)? what do the extra settings "shift timing" and "amount" do and do they affect the swing or "swing%"? if someone could very thoroughly explain this to me, i'd greatly appreciate it.

thanks people
