Selecting Pattern Changes
To select a section of Pattern lane, click and drag a selection rectangle with the Arrow
tool. If Snap is on, the selection will be magnetic to the Snap value positions, just as
when selecting notes.
The selected section is shown as a shaded rectangle.
D By holding down [Shift] and dragging, you can select multiple, discontin-
uous sections of the Pattern lane.
✪ If you select Groups or sections of the pattern lane in the Arrange View,
this section will be selected when you got to Edit View.
Moving and Duplicating Pattern Change sections
You can move and duplicate selected sections of the Pattern lane, just as when mov-
ing controller sections. Just like when inserting pattern changes, it is recommended
that Snap is activated (and in most cases set to “Bar”) when you do this.
You can also move or duplicate sections using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands
on the Edit menu. Again, the same rules apply as when editing controllers.
Deleting Pattern Change sections
You can delete a section of the Pattern Lane in two ways:
D By making a selection (as described above) and pressing [Backspace] or
[Delete] or by selecting Delete from the Edit menu.
D By using the Eraser tool.
If Snap is on, you can single click to immediately erase the shaded area which cor-
responds to the set Snap value (e.g. Bar). You can also make a selection range by
clicking and dragging.
The result is this:
The pattern before the deleted section will remain selected until the end of the section.
! Again, make sure Snap is activated.
! You can´t remove all pattern change data using this method. To remove
all pattern automation, use the Clear Automation function:
Clearing Automation
To remove all pattern changes, proceed as follows:
1. [Ctrl]-click (Mac) or right-click (WIndows) in the Pattern lane.
The context menu appears.
2. Select “Clear Automation”.
This will remove all pattern changes from the track, and the text “Not Automated”
will be shown.
