anways, i called Forat in LA and he said he knows what i am talking about. on an MPC you can swing notes both early and late. and i think there is different levels of this. i don't remember on my mpc-3000.
ok, narrowing down further on my original question. in the Shift section of the CS, when a person is looking at the Bar:Beat:Tick section....Forat said what i am try to do has to do with the sequencer's timing resolution (ppq). and it takes a little math to figure out how to delay a track to the values i am trying to do.
ok, i just found it online. i knew i wasn't smokin crack!! i'm a little surprised that this has never been discussed before. what the heck are you guys doing out there with your command stations? :)
here is what i am saying to a tee...

bingo. figure this out and you have shuffle for days.

What about to cut and paste that track?
You can define where (which track, which bar - you may have to alter the
length of a bar) to paste.
