Trimming Patterns

If you edit a pattern by changing its length, you can remove the notes and controllers that are no longer part of the pattern.

Procedure

Right-click in the column header section of the drum sounds list, and select Trim Pattern to Start/End.

All events outside the pattern start and end borders are removed.
