(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.
Haven't used an MV in a while, can you turn quantization off completely both
1) while recording and
2) on the track you've recorded to?

That was the only prob I experienced (Aside from the perpetually unavailable expansion that I game-planned for when purchasing). Might get another one soon...
