a lot of people think there's "magic" in the TR-909's shuffle.

a long time ago, i used an MC-50mk2 as my #1 sequencer. my bandmate wanted 
it to do shuffle, but officially it doesn't support such a feature. so we 
recorded the MIDI from a TR-909 into it... a few bars with each of the 
909's different shuffle settings. with a little bit of editing, we could 
play anything using the 909's shuffle.

you could do the same thing with a CS, but the editing might be a chore. 
maybe use software and then load the sequence into the CS...?
