Rhythms
b. Removing notes
To remove a note, press any black key on the right side of the
keyboard. The step will be erased, and the cursor will
advance one step. The note is only removed from the drum
that is displayed on the screen; all other drums are not
affected.
This makes it easy to replace the pattern for a particular drum
without explicitly erasing it beforehand. Simply play the
pattern into the step editor, using a black key as a "rest".
c. Changing note velocities
Again, you must be in the pattern editing screen for that
particular note's program.
Place the cursor over the note you want to edit and press the
control knob normally. You will be able to change the
velocity by turning the control knob.
You can remove the note by turning the velocity down to
zero.
While you're editing velocity, you can play any key to hear
what the note sounds like at that velocity. You will hear all
drums which have notes at the step.
d. Clear?
To keep the program but remove all the notes, choose Clear.
e. Remove?
If this particular drum is unnecessary to your rhythm, remove
it. At the Remove? prompt, press the control knob. This
drum will be removed from the rhythm, and all of the other
drums will be re-lettered accordingly. (For instance, what had
been "Drum B" will become "Drum A," and what had been
"Drum C" will become "Drum B.")

8. Add?

After the last drum, you will be prompted with Add? Press the
control knob to add a drum. It will be given the next available
letter.
