Erase Functions

Erase Mistakes While Recording
While the iDM02 is recording, you can erase any individual drum event or
series of events in real time to fix up errors. Erasure occurs only on those
beats that coincide with the current quantization and swing values; turn
quantization off to erase a drum wherever it occurs.
1. The iDM02 should be in Compose mode and recording.
2. Press and hold ERASE.
3. While holding down ERASE, press the pad corresponding to the sound to
be erased just before the first event to be erased, and release just after
the last event to be erased. To erase a single event, tap the pad on that
single event.
Erase an Entire Pattern
If you erase both Main and Fill Patterns associated with a numbered Pattern,
or you erase a Main or Fill Pattern and the other is empty, the Drum Set
assignment (but not its Drum Set parameters), name, and length will revert to
the default settings (i.e., the Drum Set with the same number as the Pattern,
EMPTY PATTERN as the name, and a length of 8 beats). However, as long
as either a Main or Fill Pattern contains previously-programmed data, the
numbered Pattern will remember the Drum Set assignment, name, and length.
1. The iDM02 must be in Pattern mode and stopped to allow erasing a
Pattern.
2. Enter the two-digit Pattern number to be erased with the number or
INC/DEC buttons.
3. Press and hold the ERASE button. The display says PATTERN ERASE?
4. While continuing to hold the ERASE button, press PLAY. The display
says PATTERN ERASED, followed by FILL ERASE? .
5. While continuing to hold the ERASE button, press PLAY again. The
display will read FILL ERASED.
Note: To retain the Drum Set assignment, length, and name when you erase a
Pattern, hold ERASE and tap each drum pad. This erases the drum events,
but retains all other Pattern parameters.
Erase All Events Played by a Particular Drum Pad
This erases all events in a Pattern played by a specific pad. The Drum Set's
parameters are not altered.
1. The iDM02 should be in Pattern mode and stopped, in either Perform or
Compose mode.
2. Press and hold ERASE.
3. While holding down ERASE, tap a pad to erase all events played by that
pad. The display shows the drum pad number whose events were
erased. You can continue to erase more drum sounds while ERASE is
held down.
