Is there only the basic swing quantize on the MPC Live 2? There’s not a groove quantize a la ableton or something else? Kind of a bummer if not right? Is anyone requesting or find a need for this?

Me, no need for it. I tap out what I want, later nudge bits and pieces where I want them.
It's part of what creating is about imo.

This. Swing is great, but I prefer to play the notes and later quantize them by only 10-20 percent, maybe once, maybe five times. But nudging is better, although not necessarily quicker. :worthy:

Plat then soft quantize/swing is my method unless I get a perfect take.

Me...I like to Quantize my Kicks Hats, and Snares. Then Unquantize my ghost Notes, and swing them slightly
