To me erasing all of the patterns just to get rid of one is a bit much. There are several other ways to do it. Perhaps the easiest is to use the method in the manual: 'To Erase an Entire Pattern: Copy an “Empty Sequence” over the pattern. (Save/Copy menu).' Another method is to use e-loader 1.1 to overwrite the pattern.
There is a problem with the easy method (from the Save/Copy menu): The name of the pattern becomes "Untitled" not "Empty Sequence." Of course, if you didn't name the pattern in the first place it was already "Untitled" and you would never know the data in the pattern was erased unless you looked at the note or even data in the pattern editor.
I just tried this with a pattern I saved called "Named Pattern." I just filled a 1 measure track with CC data from the knobs and then saved it as "Named Pattern." After I copied an adjacent "Empty Sequence" to overwrite "Named Pattern," I had a pattern called "Untitled" and all the CC data was gone.
To be sure, I powered down then rebooted. (I am using a P2500 with OS 2.00.) Sure enough, "Untitled" was there , but the CC data was still gone.
Does that help?
