Pressing "Backspace" will delete any note or blank space under the cursor, causing all notes and effects in entire track below this point to move up.

In the Renoise Pattern Editor the Edit Step value box is found in the control panel underneath the tracks, while in the Phrase Editor of both Renoise and Redux it's at the bottom-left corner of the phrase. The amount of lines that the cursor moves by can be changed with the Edit Step parameter, which can even be set to zero. The note will be inserted into the Note column at the current cursor position and the cursor will move downwards within the editor. To record notes step by step, simply play notes with Edit Mode enabled. The red border around the Pattern/Phrase Editor indicates that Edit Mode has been activated and inputs will now be recorded at the cursor position: Alternatively, in Renoise you can click the record button in the Transport Panel, while in Redux there are two options in the Phrase Editor: the Edit button at the bottom left and the 'edit on/off' area at the top right corner of the phrase. To be able to record anything, first make sure that Edit Mode is enabled by pressing the "ESC" key on your keyboard.
