Deleting notes
To delete a note from a step, press the step pad (lights red) and then press the unwanted keyboard
pad (also lights red). The keyboard pad will resume the native colour of the other (unplayed) notes.
Inserting notes
You can add a synth note to a step by holding down the step pad and pressing the desired note. Note
that Record Mode does not need to be enabled. Now when you run the pattern, you will find that the
note has been added. You can add multiple notes to the same step if you wish.
Clear and Duplicate
Clearing Steps
You can delete all assigned synth notes from a step in one go using the Clear button
17
. This has the
advantage that you don’t have to search through several octaves to find all the notes assigned to the step.
Press and hold Clear; the button shows bright red to confirm Clear Mode. Now press the step pad; it will
turn red and all notes at this step for the currently selected synth track will be deleted. The step pad will
revert to its dim “unassigned” illumination when this has been done. Release the Clear button.
The Clear button has an additional function in both Patterns View (see page page 85) and Projects
View; (see page 96). Also note that you cannot clear steps when in Pattern Settings View.
Duplicating Steps
The Duplicate button
18
performs “copy-and-paste” actions on steps.
Use Duplicate to copy all the synth notes on a step, together with their various attributes, to a
different step in the pattern.
To copy a synth note from one step to another, press and hold Duplicate: it shows bright green. Press
the pad in the Pattern display corresponding to the step to be copied (the ‘source’ step); it will turn
green and the note(s) assigned to it will turn red (providing they are in the currently selected octave).
Now press the pad corresponding to the step where the data is to be copied to (the ‘destination’
step); this will give a single red blink. All the note information in the source step will now have
been duplicated in the destination. Any pre-existing note information in the destination step will
be overwritten. If you want to copy the note data to several steps, you can continue to hold the
Duplicate button down, and simply repeat the “paste” part of the operation to the other steps.
