well, i wanna play my drum samples manually to make them naturally unquantized, but, i have no idea on how to make so when im playing, every note i hit on my keyboard is a "no-length-note", cause its way too hard to hold the notes and hit the samples in the right time

"no-length-note"s are a special kind of notes, only made by the Beat-Editor, They are special because they has a fixed size (and a different colour). If you 'record' notes that you make by pressing keys on your keyboard, they will not be "no-length-note"s, they will just be short-notes, and they can be resized to any size. it is easier to grab short notes if they are magnified so change the x-scale First, Then mark all notes as selected, and and just grab one of the selected notes and drag to any length. All selected notes will change length accordingly.

When in the MIDI pianoroll (piano-roll) editor, choose 1/96 or 1/192 from the "Q:" drop-down menu. Those will be close enough to freewheeling non-quantized. If they still seem too "on-beat", then double or quadruple the BPM/tempo, and keep playing in at the same rate as you were before. Doubling the BPM/tempo effectively doubles the resolution on any seqencer.

To get to the MIDI piano-roll editor, you have to have some kind of MIDI playable sound loaded and double-click in an empty space on it's row; that will reveal the piano-roll editor in a new window. OR, right-click on any beat in the Pattern Editor (drum style step editor) and you'll see "Open in piano-roll" at the top of the contextual menu.

Good luck and happy composing.
