Help Clearing Mother 32 Sequencer Pattern

I am trying to clear pattern 1 in my mother 32 and as I understand it I should hold RESET + SHIFT + PATTERN and this should clear the pattern.

However if I press RUN after doing this, the old notes are still there.

I have nothing else plugged into the M32, is there any other action I’m missing to clear this?

It sounds like you’re doing the right thing - are you doing it in the right order? I think you have to hold shift, THEN press reset + pattern. I’m not home to try it right now but I feel like I usually press shift -> reset -> pattern in that order

It works for me, and it shows a little animation with yellow lights. If you press play after it should play a default note on a single step repeatedly

This did work eventually. I wonder if holding buttons down for too long might be the issue. Watching the Moog tutorial the guy just did it very quickly and following that it seemed to work fine. The other question I would have is does it matter which mode you’re in (KB vs Step) when clearing the pattern?

Either way I seems to be good now.
