Mouse in Select Mode
► To delete events in a Pattern, double-click them, alternatively, right-click (macOS: [Ctrl]-
click) and select Delete from the menu. This also works when multiple events are select-
ed.
If some events are selected, you can also press [Del] or [Backspace] on your computer key-
board to delete them. See section ↑11.4.3, Selecting Events/Notes to know how to select
events.
Mouse in Pencil Mode
► To delete an event, simply click it. Click and hold an event and move the cursor to quickly
delete series of events.
Deleting Events/Notes on the Controller
Your controller provides you with several tools to delete events from the current Pattern.
Quick Deleting Events or Notes
The quickest and easiest way to delete events is the following:
► Press EVENTS + ERASE + the desired pad to delete from the Pattern all events for that
Sound (if pads are in Pad Mode) or all notes at that pitch for the focused Sound (if pads
are in Keyboard mode).
For more information on Pad modes, please refer to section ↑6.1.1, The Pad View in the Software.
As soon as you hold EVENTS + ERASE, some pads light up to indicate where there is some-
thing to delete:
▪ If your pads are in Pad Mode, the lit pads show you the Sounds for which the Pattern con-
tains events.
▪ If your pads are in Keyboard mode, the lit pads show you the pitches (of the focused
Sound) for which the Pattern contains events.
In other terms you don’t need to press any unlit pad, since there are no events to delete there.
While holding EVENTS + ERASE you can press several pads to delete their events.
