[Daniel] Question about erasing locks.

2003-11-06 by Roonan

Playing with the MM I found a lot of times I messed up a good pattern 
by recording locks wich didn't exactly do what I wanted. No problem, 
just record it again but hey, how do I clear the locks without losing 
the melody? As far as I know there is no easy way to erase parameter 
locks. On the MD it is done by tapping a trigger twice.
On the MM this is not a good solution since your melody and note 
length information will be lost when you do this. It's also time 
consuming when trying this on an 4 measure pattern.

Maybe it's a good idea to make the erase track a double action.
So function + erase once is delete only the locks.
Pressing it twice is delete locks and trigs.
Pressing again is undo and everything is restored.
Perhaps it's not the best way to do this since it will change the way 
it works in comparison with the MD.
In that case maybe Elektron can come up with another way to erase 
only locks? My guess is a lot of people would like this function.

Ronald.
