the time correct button on the mpc.

Ah, sorry. You can use this button to set the resolution of your note repeat, the quantize resolution and the swing procent.

i used to quantize the kicks to 16th notes with no swing then i would not quantize the snares and hats at all unless i wanted to do a note repeat on them.

you just gotta get used to what each quantize setting sounds like and find the closest one to your track for the sound you wana get, music theory kinda stuff i try not to use note reapeat now.
