6.2.2 Erase/Clear

To erase notes, press and hold both ERASE and the Pad containing the desired sound while
the Pattern is playing. The notes will be erased only during the moment the Pad is held down;
you can use this to selectively erase notes at a particular place in the Pattern. This might
take some time getting used to, especially when the tempo is very fast, but you can always
use Undo/Redo (SHIFT + Pad 1, SHIFT + Pad 2) to get back to where you were before.
SHIFT + Pad 9 (CLEAR) will erase all selected notes and events; if nothing is selected, it will
clear all notes and events.

6.2.3 Copy/Paste

You can also copy and paste notes. To copy all selected notes, press SHIFT + Pad 11 (COPY),
to paste them, press SHIFT + Pad 12 (PASTE). The notes will be pasted according to the
Step Grid, shifted one Grid position to the right. You can also copy notes from one Pattern
to another: to do this, copy the selected notes, select the Pattern you want to copy them to
and then paste them.
%
Setting the Step Grid to "Off" and then using Nudge will shift notes in extremely small
increments. This can be used to creatively add groove to Patterns—for example, shifting
the snare drum so that it is ever so slightly late, or "in the pocket" (something a funk drummer
does naturally!).
While holding SELECT, using Knob 5, you can determine at
which event of the currently selected Sound the selection
of notes and events will start.
While holding SELECT, using Knob 6, you can determine at
which event of the currently selected Sound the selection
of notes and events will stop.
