Just wondering if the Amount and Swing parameters are utilized during realtime record 
(as long as Quan: is ON) 
OR if these are just used when "applying" Quantize to a patterns track(s).

I can't imagine this work with Grid record too right?

Also, Does anybody have some intersting or favorite settings for Quantize, Amount and 
Swing that they want to share? (mpc grooves anybody?)

Thanks in advance
