MPC One TC function question

Hi everyone

I was hoping to get some direction here for anyone who is familiar with the MPC One and the TC or Quantize function.

I am just starting out and I get the function of the TC (Quantize) function. It serves well for guys like me who aren't so quick on the draw with rhythm and finger drumming perfectly to a rhythm.

I have my track set- I start to record, but when I let the track continue to play past the 4 bars that I have it set to, the bass and drum rhythm I just played sounds all jumbled and out of order. It doesn't keep any sense of rhythm and it kind of takes the arrangement I drummed and kind of turned it into something else.

Anyone hear/see this before? I made sure TC is turned on. It's set to 1/16th.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can turn me in the right direction.

It sounds like how you are playing is very out of time, are you playing to a metronome?

Is it possible you're drum pattern is a "triplet" ? a number of genres require the use of that option.

Boom-bap style hip hop: 1/16th (triplet)
Drum n bass: 1/8th or 1/16th (triplet)
EDM/Mainroom/House: 1/8th (triplet)

give that a try see what happens.

Here are some examples of how rhythm distorted by not using the tripplet / timing correctly. In my sample the 1-16t is the goal with 1-8 and 1-8t being the deviations.
