Erasing the sequence data of a part

To erase sequence data from the selected part, you can use the sixteen step keys to turn each trigger on/off independently, or use one of the following two operations.

To erase all of a part’s performance dataCLEAR PART ............................................................................

This operation erases the rhythm or phrase pattern (trigger, note number, gate time) and motion sequence data at once.

1.If the ESX-1 is playing, press the STOP/CANCEL key to stop play- back.

2.Hold down the SHIFT key and press step key 6 (CLEAR PART). (Key 6 will blink.)

3.Press the part key whose data you want to erase. You may select more than one part at this time. The selected part keys will blink. You can press a part key to hear its sound. (Keyboard parts will sound at C4.)

4.Press step key 6 once again to execute the Clear operation. If you decide to cancel, press the STOP/CANCEL key.

When you execute this Clear Part operation on a keyboard part, all steps of the phrase pattern will be set to a pitch of C4 and a gate time of “0.75”.

Executing the Clear Part operation will not clear the sound settings.
