swing affects what ever you ask it to- have twenty tracks- you will have to set the swing on all twenty- you can swing one midi note in a track or all midi notes- tis all in the manual- or if you set the swing before sequencing it will affect every track until you trun it back off...

so before sequencing- on affects all

after sequencing- on affects only the tracks you want

Swing only affects the track it is applied to. At any time you can do note shifts and adjustments in step/edit. I don't apply swing until the first set of drum patterns are completed. Once i've got the foundation of the groove set I go back into step/edit and do note shifts. The dopest thing about the MPC-60II is that you can set your EDIT mode to either NEXT STEP or NEXT EVENT in which I'll almost always go back and turn swing to OFF (hi-res) and retain NEXT EVENT you can still scroll forward or backward at increments of 96 in the main screen and jump from note to note in the EDIT screen shifting as necessary. I almost always mess with the timing of my snares - delaying them on the 3rd beat or bringing them in a tad early. I also mess with the first beat of the 2nd measure, sometimes bringing the kick drum in a little earlier on the previous measure. The editing features on the MPC-60II are endless. Thanks for listening......PEACE for the 200pound.

to answer your shift question though I'm sure you might know by now..

this allows to yo move how the note is triggered later or earlier, so instead of swinging it, you can move a snr along a few milli secs to the right to give a delayed snr etc.
swing is kinda shuffling random feature mostly used on hi hats to give a real drummer feel.
