Removing instruments

[sso]

how can i delete instruments or samples from a song?

lets say i decided on not using some melody ive previously had throughout the song, normally i just lower the volume to zero, because i cant see a way to just delete the instrument and the notes.


any way?

btw, why cant i use pitch and filter at the same time and draw envelopes for both?

You could use Find/Replace with "Find: Instrument x" and "Replace: Note: None, Instrument: None, Volume Effect: None, Effect: None". Generally there is no way to perfectly achieve this, since notes can also be placed in a pattern with no instrument number next to them, and in that case there is no way to figure out if an instrument-less note belongs to a certain instrument (for example, it could be the first note in the pattern, or there could be a pattern jump from another pattern pointing to this note).
Or, if you keep your tracks somewhat organized, the best way is of course to put every instrument in a different channel, so you can simply remove the channel that holds your instrument. That way, you also get rid of any events "between" two notes.

Historical reasons. Ask Jeff Lim.
