Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 137)

▶ While the Pattern is playing, hold ERASE + the desired pad to progressively delete the events
for that Sound (if pads are in Pad Mode) or the notes at that pitch for the focused Sound (if
pads are in Keyboard mode) as they are reached by the playhead.
→ As long as you hold the pad, the corresponding events are deleted as the playhead moves on.
You can use this to selectively erase notes at a particular place in the Pattern.
This might take some time getting used to, especially when the tempo is very fast, but you can
always use undo/redo ( SHIFT + Pad 1 , SHIFT + Pad 2 ) to get back to where you were before.
Deleting Events for the Entire Group at Playback Position
You can erase events for all Sounds in the Group at the playback position.
▶ While the Pattern is playing, hold ERASE + the desired Group button A – H to progressively
delete events for all Sounds in that Group as they are reached by the playhead.
Deleting Events or Notes via the Transport Functions
If the sequencer is not currently playing, you can erase events on either side of the playhead by
manually moving the playhead:
▶ While playback is off, hold ERASE and turn the 4-D encoder to jump to the previous/next step
and delete all events found on the way for the selected Sound(s).
Please note the following:
• If multiple Sounds are selected, all of them will be affected.
• The jumps are based on the step size that is on the Step Grid setting. The command has the
same effect whether your pads are in Pad Mode or in Keyboard mode.
