Erasing pattern data from a part
To erase the pattern data for the selected part, you can use
one of the following two methods in addition to turning each
of the sixteen step keys off.
Erasing data during playback or recording
(Erase)
1. Press the Part key to select the part from which you wish to
erase data.
2. During playback or recording, hold down the Shift key and
press the Rec key. As long as you continue holding these
keys, trigger data will be automatically be erased from the
selected part.
If you execute Erase on a synth part, only the trigger
data will be erased, and the note number and gate time
data of each step will remain.
Erasing all data from a part (Clear Part)
This operation simultaneous erases a rhythm or phrase pat-
tern (trigger, note number, gate time) and motion sequence
data.
1. If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Press the Part key to select the part whose data you wish to
erase.
3. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 9 (Clear Part).
(Key 9 will blink.)
4. Once again press step key 9 to clear the data.
To cancel without clearing the data, press the Stop/Cancel key.
When you execute Clear Part for a synth part, all steps
of the phrase pattern will be set to a pitch of “C4” and a
gate time of “1.00”.
Erasing motion sequence data
from the part, effect, or delay
(Clear Motion)
This operation simultaneously erases the part, effect, or delay
motion sequence data.
1. If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 8 (Clear Mo-
tion). (Key 8 will blink.)
3. Press the key of the part (drum, synth, accent) whose mo-
tion sequence you wish to erase, or the motion sequence
key of the effect/delay section (you may select more than
one). The selected key(s) will blink.
4. Press step key 8 once again to clear the motion sequence
data.
To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.
The entire motion sequence of the selected part, effect,
or delay will be erased at once. (If you select delay, both
time and depth data will be erased.)
