The ERASE Key

Erasing Notes in Real Time While in Overdub Mode

Erasing Notes or Other Events While Stopped

The ERASE key provides three main functions:
• Erasing notes in real time while in Overdub mode
• Erasing notes or other events while stopped
• Initializing or deleting sequences
If the ERASE key is pressed and held while in Overdub mode, the
top line of the Play/Record screen changes to the following for as
long as ERASE is held:
==== (Hold pads or notes to erase) =====
If during this time you hold a drum pad (if the active track is a
Drum track) or hold a key on the MIDI keyboard (if the active track
is a MIDI track), any notes assigned to that pad or key in the
selected track will be erased.
While not playing, the MPC3000 allows the erasure of specific
events from any region within a sequence, on one or all tracks. This
is done using the ERASE key.
If the ERASE key is pressed while the MPC3000 is not playing, the
Erase screen appears:
================= Erase ================
Seqnc: 1-SEQ01
Track: 1-TRK01
Ticks:001.01.00-003.01.00
Erase:ALL EVENTS
Notes: 0(C.-2)-127(G.8 )
