[Erase]
Erase allows you to selectively delete data either within
a specified range of the pattern(s), or from the entire
track(s). In Data Type ALL mode, Erase will substitute
the required number of rests for the data you delete, so
that you end up with the equivalent number of blank
measures. If you also want to eliminate the measures
themselves, use Delete (see page 178).
Track (ADrums~Acc6, ALL)— Allows you to select
the track you wish to edit. You can also select ALL
here, in which case the operation applies to all tracks
of the selected pattern.
Mode— Allows you to select the mode of the pattern
to be edited: Maj (major), min (minor) or 7 (seventh).
Type— Allows you to select the pattern type to be
edited: Basic or Advanced.
Division— This parameter is used to select the Divi-
sion of the pattern: Original or Variation.
From/To— “From” refers to the position where the
edit operation is to begin. That position can be speci-
fied in a Bar-Beat-CPT format. “To” designates the
position where the edit operation is to end (Bar-Beat-
CPT value).
Bar (1~9999)— This is where you specify the bar
position. By default, the From and To values are set to
the beginning and end of the selected track(s). Note
that the To value always refers to the end of the longest
track.
Beat (1~[number of beats per bar])— This is where
you specify the beat position. The number of select-
able beats obviously depends on the time signature of
the selected pattern.
CPT— This is where you specify the CPT position of
the beginning and end. Unless you do not need to edit
all the selected data within the last bar, you should
keep the default setting. Note that the Micro mode
allows you to edit the data on an event basis, which is
more precise because there you see the events to be
edited, which is not the case here. If you only wish to
edit one event (or message), you should definitely do
so in the Microscope mode (see page 181).
Data Type— Use [i][m] to select the data to be
edited. See the table above for a list of the available
data types.
From Note/Than Note, To Note— See page 149.
Execute— Press this field to confirm your settings and
edit the data.

[Delete]
Unlike to the Erase function, Delete also erases the
measures, so that all measures that lie behind the “To”
position, will be shifted towards the beginning of the
track(s). Since Delete also disposes of the measures,
you cannot choose the data type to be erased.
Track, Mode, Type, Division— See page 178 for
details.
From/To— “From” refers to the position where the
edit operation is to begin. That position is specified as
Bar-Beat-CPT values. “To” designates the position
where the edit operation is to end (Bar-Beat-CPT
value).
Bar, Beat, CPT— See page 178 for details.
Note that the Micro mode allows you to edit the data
on an event basis, which is more precise because there
you see the events to be edited, which is not the case
here. If you only wish to edit one event (or message),
you should definitely do so in the Microscope mode
(see page 181).
Execute— Press this field to confirm your settings and
edit the data.
