Chapter 4: Editing Sequences

There are three ways to edit a sequence.  The first is to erase unneces-
sary 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.

To erase data with the ERASE key, you can play back a sequence and
erase a random note, or display the note or event and erase them indi-
vidually.

It is possible to erase a 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 the PLAY or PLAY START key while holding the

OVER DUB key or press the OVERDUB key during playback to
switch to Overdub mode.

3. Locate the data you want to erase, and while holding the ERASE

key, press the DRUMS PAD assigned to the sound.

Besides erasing the drum track you can erase notes by continuously
pressing the note on the MIDI keyboard while holding this key.

When a sequence is not playing, press the ERASE key to display the
ERASE page.  You can select and erase specific notes or data sections.

• Track:

This specifies the track you want to erase.  If you set this to 0, it will
mean that all tracks are selected.
