Sorry, typo:

"since events are NOT firing off all on the same tick"

Ign.Virg. also asked:

"when I notice later, that a kick or something is a hair off, I'm hoping quantize can help me correct. So, it sounds like I should go in and specify that particular note to target with quantize, within the particular pattern, correct?"

Yes. You can specify any note in your pattern and quantize it *any* distance (=number of ticks/clocks) you want. Remember, bias and resolution are where you tell the sequencer "move this note this many ticks."
