Hi folks,

I just got my first MPC (MPC One) coming from Maschine and really like it.
But theres a problem I have with the TC/Swing options:

When I have a drum track with 8th and 16th events and want to add TC on the whole track, it seems that I only can add swing on the 16th, which means the 8th events don't swing (makes sense). Or I add swing on the 8th, the TC quantizes the 16th events on the 8th grid.
I figured out that I can mark the 8th and 16th events I want to swing separatly but wonder if there's a easier way to do it like can I add swing on he 8th events without quantize the 16th ?
Also is there a way to set swing in real time, without pushing "Do it", live like in Maschine?

How do you proceed when it comes to swing?

Many thanks in advance!
