If I create a sequence or track with pad mute automation recorded, is there a way to then just delete the muted notes and clear the mute automation?
Seems like it should be an easy thing, but I can't think of a way. Thanks

Thanks. It looks like you can delete events one at a time in list edit. I'm looking for a way to delete all muted notes en masse.
Possible?

I’m not sure if you can delete all at once but it doesn’t take very long to delete each even individually

I'm not sure if this works for muted pads, but when I frequently accidently record mutes. I go to the step sequencer, then show the mutes for that track and you can press shift and 'clear' everything.

I think pressing the ERASE button + pad while listening to the sequence (including pad mute) is also an intuitive way to delete notes.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I think that I'm looking for a feature that just doesn't exist..
My idea was to start with a 4 or 8 bar sequence, then double the length to 99 bars or so, then build a song by muting and un-muting pads. That's easy enough, but I wanted to then clean things up by removing the muted notes and automation, which is where it gets a little tedious.
I think I'd be better off exploding the track/exporting loops and using a clip program in a new sequence to build a song.
I've had my MPC live for a few years, and I am still looking for a way to complete a song (in stand-alone) that works for me intuitively, without dumping everything into a DAW.
