Chapter 4: Editing Sequences
Page 62
Overview
There are three ways to edit a sequence. The first is to erase unnecessary note data using the
ERASE key. The second is to display and edit each note or event. The third is to specify the bar
or note range and edit the data together.
Erasing Data with the ERASE Key
To erase data with the ERASE key, you play back a sequence and erase a random note, or
display the note or event and erase them individually.
Erasing a Note in Real Time
It is possible to erase random note data while you are playing back a sequence in Overdub mode.
1
Select the track with the data you want to erase on the Main Screen.
2
Either press PLAY or PLAY START while holding OVER DUB or press OVERDUB during
playback to switch to Overdub mode.
3
Locate the data you want to erase, and while holding ERASE, press the drum pad as-
signed to the sound.
Besides erasing the drum track, you can erase notes by continuously pressing the note on the
MIDI keyboard while holding ERASE.
Using the ERASE Window to Erase Data
When a sequence is not playing, press ERASE to display the ERASE window. You can select and
erase specific notes or data sections.
