sup mo,
im guessing your talking about "cut" & "paste", to cut simply ,highlight your notes/data,
push "delete" ,then u can have the option for the cut notes/data to be

"delete"

"clip" original notes are deleted and ready for pasting from the clipboard

"libary" original notes are deleted and imported to phase lib,


hope that helps

thats weird,, when in seq edit, i can only select F4 wich is delete. No window turns off where i can select stuff, it just delete the highlighted notes.

Also, in the manual the F4 button in seq edit is CUT,,, and i dont have that funcition in that window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :? i have delete in stead of cut,, can anyone explain this??

the manual is refering to a old OS me thinks,if you want to cut something select more than one note in the seq edit page ,
push f4 (delete) ,
then f5 (libary)
or F6 (clip). thats how my 4k works anywayz!

Good question.. :shock:

Work around is to select an empty space along with the single note and than cut 'n paste the region wich contains only 1 note

Np Mo ,
cut wont work on a single selection on the grid matrix,copy does though, but if ya do what ikke said make sure the empty space ya select with the single note, doesnt overwrite anything when pasting...

Pfff what are we talking about here,,,, a work around for cutting midinotes,, this is ridiculous,, cutting notes is one of the most basic sequencer functions, i cant believe akai hasnt implement this somehow,, i losing my confidence in the machine.
