Really,tired of hearing about quantization issues of the MV. It HAS NO QUANTIZING ISSUES, only "users who havn`t learned the machine" issues. The MV has a very sofisticated quantise section. It has percentage quantising ,which means whatever timing you select, you can dial in a percentage of that "SWING" as well as how accurate the quantising is. (You can set it that it is slighlty less accurate so that is has a more real feel.
Where I think most people get confused is that there are two places the quantise is set.
1. is when recording
2. is on the track itself on playback.
So, if you record with a shuffle but on playback, that tracks quantisation is set to straight. then it plays straight.So you have to make sure you either have both set on the same settings or just have one of them set to have no quantisation.
Seems complicated at first but it`s actually cool . Cause no matter how you recorded a beat, on playback you just adjust the parameters to suit the vibe you want.
Really guys ,the mistake that everyone makes is that they compare the MV with what they know about the MPC. It`s a differant aproach. MPCs are more straight forward. Not everone understands or likes the sofistication of the MV.
Don`t see why one has to kick anothers ass. Both are good for differant reasons. Personally I think the MV is a way smarter choice.
Please somebody tell RZA that the MPC kicks the MV`s ass. He doesn`t seem to think so.
