Instead of removing the Section, which removes it entirely, you can also clear the Section: This will
only remove its content, the Section will stay in your arrangement, but empty. For more information
on clearing Sections, see section ↑16.3.11, Clearing Sections.
Removing Sections on the Controller
To remove a Section using your controller:
1. Press ARRANGER.
2. Press SHIFT + Button 2 to enter Song view.
3. Press and hold SCENE (Section) to enter Section mode.
4. Press Button 7 and 8 to select the desired Section bank.
5. Press the pad corresponding to the Section you want to remove. Alternatively you can se-
lect the Section by pressing the Page buttons.
6. Press Button 6 (REMOVE).
→ The Section is removed from the arrangement. The next Sections shift ahead to fill the
gap.
Alternate Method
1. Press ARRANGER.
2. Press SHIFT + Button 2 to enter Song view.
3. Press and hold SCENE (Section) to enter Section mode.
4. Press Button 7 and 8 to select the desired Section bank.
5. Press ERASE + the pad corresponding to the Section you want to remove.
→ The Section is removed from the arrangement. The next Sections shift ahead to fill the
gap.
If the desired Section bank is already selected (or if there is only one Section bank), this alternate
method can be simplified as follows: Press ERASE + SCENE + pad to remove the corresponding
Section!
