►
Press SHIFT + pad 9 ( CLEAR ) to erase the selected events. If nothing is selected, all
event/notes in the Pattern will be affected.
Deleting Events or Notes while Playing
If the sequencer is currently playing, you can selectively erase events at the play position:
►
While the Pattern is playing, hold ERASE + the desired pad to progressively delete the
events for that Sound (if pads are in Group mode) or the notes at that pitch for the fo-
cused Sound (if pads are in Keyboard mode) as they are reached by the playhead.
→
As long as you hold the pad, the corresponding events are deleted as the playhead moves
on.
You can use this to selectively erase notes at a particular place in the Pattern.
This might take some time getting used to, especially when the tempo is very fast, but
you can always use undo/redo ( SHIFT + pad 1 , SHIFT + pad 2 ) to get back to where you
were before.
Deleting Events for the Entire Group at Playback Position
Using your controller you can erase events for all Sounds in the Group at the playback position.
►
While the Pattern is playing, hold ERASE + the desired Group button A – H to progressive-
ly delete events for all Sounds in that Group as they are reached by the playhead.
Deleting Events or Notes via the Transport Functions
If the sequencer is not currently playing, you can erase events on either side of the playhead
by manually moving the playhead:
►
While playback is off, hold ERASE and turn the Control encoder or press the Locate but-
tons (in the TRANSPORT section) to jump to the previous/next step and delete all events
found on the way for the selected Sound(s).
Please note the following:
▪
If multiple Sounds are selected, all of them will be affected. See section
