Deleting MIDI Notes

In addition to deleting selected notes with the Clear command in the Edit menu, individual notes can also be deleted with the Pencil tool.

To delete a group of MIDI notes with the Clear command:

1 Using the Grabber or Selector tool, select the notes to be deleted (see Selecting MIDI Notes).

2 Do one of the following:

Choose Edit > Clear to delete the selected notes. The track’s underlying controller data remains intact.

With any Edit tool, Right-click any selected note and choose Clear.

Press the Backspace (Windows) or Delete (Mac) key.

When deleting MIDI notes within a time range selection, all underlying controller and automation data is also deleted.

To delete a single MIDI note with the Pencil tool:

With the Pencil tool selected, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) the note. The Pencil tool changes to an Eraser when Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) is pressed.
