Using the Song Sequencer

Deleting Pitch Bender Events

You can use the procedures in this section to delete all pitch bender events from a track or from a specific range in a track.

To delete individual pitch bender events, perform the operation under “To delete an individual event” (page E-92).

After deleting the pitch bender events in one track from Track 01 through Track 16, you can overdub new pitch bender (PITCH BEND wheel (S-1)) operations for that track. To do so, use the procedure under “To record to Tracks 01 through 16” (page E-73), and select “OVDB” (Overdub) for the “RecType” setting in step 6-(5).

Since “OVDB” cannot be selected for “RecType” when recording to the system track, you will not be able to overdub pitch bender operations after deleting pitch bender events from the system track. You can use the procedure under “To insert an event” (page E-94) to insert pitch bender events.
