Hello folks
Is there a way to erase all tracks of a sequence (all track data)? But not the assignments, names, programs etc. that happens with the clear sequence...

Missing that coming from the mpc 1000.

cheers

On the Live....Hit the Erase Button, then ALL. For each track of course. It should keep all your settings but erase Note/Automation data

it's for jamming mainly, where you add tracks and tracks and the structure is built over time. then you have a template but also all the sequencing midi data. then i would like to keep the programs all in place, but erase all that midi data.

that's an amazing trick. thanks a lot! Exactly what i want, keeping all the track programs but erase the midi data. it's also helpful when you want to copy a sequence to another one and want to play the same "instruments" but with different "rhytms and melodies".

I wish there was a faster trick to that: like erase button: erase all tracks.

thanks :worthy:

for each track - if one has many - it takes forever

Lol 40 beatz I want to see a (real speed) video where someone erase 16 tracks in the same sequence on a MPC , one by one ... Great fingerdrumming skills if it takes less than one minute !!

Delete Bars and copy events function are my best friends on my MPC LIVE , to keep my tracks assigned between several sequences

Not sure if the Image is showing...;but it took me 1 minute 9 seconds to erase 16 tracks of events :lol: :lol:

ERASE-ALL-TRACKS-CHALLENGE is on! :smoker:

Who has got the best workaround? Delete one track after other is ok but nifty and slow , the bar delete trick is great. Any other trick?

cheerio
