THE SEQUENCER

Deleting events by single clicking
D Select the Eraser tool and click on the event you want to delete.
When using the Eraser tool to delete events with Snap on, the following applies:
• When single clicking, all events within the set Snap value will be deleted.
The “area of effect” is indicated in a dark gray color.
In this example, the Eraser tool is used to delete notes in the Edit view. Snap is set to
“Bar”, and therefore a single click will remove all the instances of the note C 2 on bar 6.
Deleting events by making a selection rectangle
D Select the Eraser tool, click and hold the mouse button and draw a
selection rectangle.
This way, you can make a selection encompassing several events and delete
them all at once.
If Snap is on when a selection rectangle is drawn, it will be magnetic to the near-
est snap value positions. For example, if Snap is set to “Bar”, dragging a rectan-
gle will select all notes within an exact range of bars.
Drawing a selection rectangle with Snap set to “Bar”. All notes enclosed in the “shaded” area
will be deleted.
! Note that an Event doesn’t have to be fully enclosed to be selected
- the selection rectangle only needs to intersect or touch the Event.
✪ If you hold down [Shift] when making a selection rectangle, direc-
tion is restricted to horizontal or vertical only.
Inserting and Removing Bars
When editing the overall structure of a song, you may need to rearrange the or-
der and length of whole sections (e.g. make the “verse” two bars shorter, add a
few bars to the intro, etc.). On the Edit menu or sequencer context menu you will
find two useful functions for this:
Insert Bars Between Locators
This function inserts an empty area between the locators. All events after the left
locator are moved to the right to “make room” for the inserted area.
Remove Bars Between Locators
This function removes all material between the locators. All events after the right
locator are moved to the left to “fill out” the gap after the removed section.
✪ The “Remove Bars Between Locators” function will automatically
shorten any Groups intersected by the locators. This can be used as
a feature in itself, as described on page 20.
Other Editing Functions in the Arrange View
You can also apply quantizing (see page 31) and use the Change Events func-
tion (see page 32) in the Arrange View. This is useful since it allows you to edit
events on several tracks in one go.
D Note that you can select one or several tracks and have quantizing
or Change Events apply to all events on the selected tracks.
Selecting several tracks is done by [Shift]-clicking in the track list.
