This is confusing to explain, so here's an example. Let's say I:
1: lay out a straight 16th note pattern in the MIDI editor
2: set the clip's groove amount and global groove. Since it is all programmed as straight 16th notes, you can hear the "swing".
3: I now record a new clip using my padKontrol, playing along with the proper "swing" of the song.
4: I now need to quantize a few notes I messed up...but I can't use quantize since my recording (on the "straight" MIDI editor grid) appears "pre-grooved".
Had I recorded "straight" (played with no groove at all), I would be able to use quantize to fix notes instantly--but playing the part straight on a song with groove is hard. Since my recording already had a groove to it, I have to force my recorded notes into a "straight" pattern before using quantize. Is there a way to quantize to a non-straight grid?
There must be something I'm missing about the behavior of these settings
