► 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 al-
ways 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
Using your controller you can erase events for all Sounds in the Group at the playback position.
► While the Pattern is playing, hold ERASE + GROUP + the desired pad 9–16 to progres-
sively delete events for all Sounds in that Group as they are reached by the playhead.
11.4.6 Cut, Copy, and Paste Events/Notes
You can also cut, copy and paste selected events to another location in the same Pattern or to
a different Pattern and for the same Sound or another one (possibly in another Group).
To cut, copy, and paste the selected events/notes in the software, do the following:
1. To cut or copy the selected events, press [Ctrl] + [X] or [Ctrl] + [C] ([Cmd] + [X] or [Cmd]
+ [C] on macOS), respectively. You can also right-click ([Ctrl]-click on macOS) in the
background of the Event area and select Cut or Copy from the context menu.
The selected events are placed in the clipboard, ready to be pasted. If you selected the
Cut command, they are additionally removed from their original location.
2. If you want to paste the events in another Pattern, open the Pattern Manager, double-
click the Pattern in which you want to paste the events (see section ↑11.7.1, The Pattern
Manager and Pattern Mode for more information on the Pattern Manager).
3. Click anywhere in the Event area of the newly selected Pattern.
4. To paste the events, press [Ctrl] + [V] ([Cmd] + [V] on macOS). You can also right-click
([Ctrl]-click on macOS) the desired location in the background of the Event area and se-
lect Paste from the context menu.
