What is Mpc style swing? Does that mean you can push the swing beats all the way to the next time slice?

You can get an explanation directly from the MPC 3000 manual [0].

At least the original MPC series couldn't move the note to the next time slice. The maximum setting was 75%. That made the first note of each pair of 1/8 or 1/16 notes three times the length of the second note.
