For anyone who hasn't noticed such as other newbs like myself you can move notes.

Only it's not as intuitive as just changing the values in STEP EDIT for a given event, which would be ideal.

You can do it in SEQ EDIT

[MODE][PAD13]=SEQ EDIT
[F1]=Events
Edit: MOVE
Time: <the time of the note to move>:<the time of the note to move +1 tick, add this otherwise it doesn't find the event>
Notes: <the pad number you want to move>
From:/To:<should default to the current track and sequence>
Mode: REPLACE or MERGE depending on whether anything is at the destination already I suppose
Start:<destination time>
[DO IT]

And of course it's actualy a lot more flexible than this. You can also COPY and TRANSPOSE as well as MOVE and do this for variable time ranges, do it across sequences and tracks and for all events or any number of pads.

yeah, that's the one i've been using. but there's a slight problem there too,
there's no "undo". if you move the track forward let's say 3ms, you cant
never move it back, cus the time wont go to minus. usually i copy the
sequence before i start to move em, that's my "undo".

??

in the same screen if you have the mode set to REPLACE you can set the time to be later to shift the track backward.

example: you move the track forward 3ms and want to move it back you set the time (on the left side of the screen) to 001.01.03.

now the the track is shifted back. you might have to reedit some stuff if you have notes within those first couple ticks, but it works for the most part.

the undo is only 1 level deep, if you want to move a track, just do the copy and replace and move it. You don't need negatives man, you just need the position your shit was originally.
