► Press SHIFT + pad 7 (NUDGE <) to nudge the selected events to the left, or SHIFT + pad
8 (NUDGE >) to nudge the selected events to the right. If nothing is selected, all event/
notes in the Pattern will be affected.
Setting  the  Step  Grid  to  “Off”  and  then  using  Nudge  will  shift  events  in  extremely  small  incre-
ments.  This  can  be  used  to  creatively  add  groove  to  Patterns  —  for  example,  shifting  the  snare
drum so that it is ever so slightly late, or “in the pocket” (something a funk drummer does natural-
ly!).
Transpose Events and Notes
You can transpose selected events by semitones or octaves to match their pitch to your require-
ments.
1. To  transpose  the  selected  events  down  in  semitones  press  SHIFT  +  pad  13  (SEMI-
TONE  -);  to  transpose  the  selected  events  up  press  SHIFT  +  pad  14  (SEMITONE  +).  If
nothing is selected, all event/notes in the Pattern will be affected.
2. To transpose the selected events down in octaves press SHIFT + pad 15 (OCTAVE -); to
transpose the selected events up press SHIFT + pad 16 (OCTAVE +). If nothing is select-
ed, all events in the Pattern will be affected.
11.4.5 Deleting Events/Notes
In the software you can delete events in the Event area using your mouse. The procedure de-
pends on the active Mouse Edit mode (Select or Pencil).
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.
