Erase

Tap the pencil icon on the right edge of the section. The Sequence Edit window will open. 

The Erase function erases all or part of a track in a specific sequence.

• Use the Sequence field to select the sequence you want to erase.
• Use the Track field to select the track you want to erase within the sequence.
• Use the Bar, Beat, and Tick fields to set the time range of the sequence you want to erase. The left fields set the start of the time range, and the right fields set the end of the time range.

To select what types of events you erase, select one of the Erase options:

• All erases all pad events from the designated time range and reset all of its settings.
• Automation erases only automation from the designated time range.
• Note erases only specific pad events from the designated time range. In the diagram of the eight pad banks that appears, press each pad in each bank to select or deselect its notes. This option is available only for MIDI tracks, not audio tracks.
• Except Note erases everything except pad events from the designated time range. This option is available only for MIDI tracks, not audio tracks.
