How to delete notes on single pad on Maschine Studio?

What I always do is to switch from pad mode into step mode (the button directly above pad 16), you'll get to see the full pattern (all the active notes) in the left display, but those for your current sound are also represented on the pad grid. Deselect the notes and your sound is clear.

I definitely agree that some things become confusing. Even if you solo a sound and then use the clear option (shift + pad 9) you'll still clear the full pattern and not just the individual sound (which does make sense, but can also become confusing). Alas, this is what works best for me.

Hope this could help.

(edit)

I found it:

• Switch to keyboard mode by pressing the keyboard button (above pad 14)
• Now press shift + clear (= pad 9)
• Switch back to pad mode (pad mode button above pad 13)
• Verify by pressing the pattern button

@Blindeddie I tried your method and it doesn't work for me. I also came across this solution in other areas (old forum & Reddit) but there it gets contradicted as well stating that it doesn't remove notes from the pattern. (edit): those contradictions were obviously wrong.

Alas, this is what I'm doing:

1. Hit browser, select groups, load in the 808 kit with patterns.
2. Close browser, switch to pad mode.
3. Not knowing what "pads with events in them highlighted" is supposed to mean I press "Events" and pin it.
4. I then enable "select", now I see what you mean.
5. Now you can press erase + a pad to erase.

Each to their own, but both methods don't differ all that much and I kinda prefer mine because it seems quicker (you also don't have to pin anything):

• Select the pad you want gone.
• Press 'keyboard', followed by 'shift + clear'.
• Done.

vs

• Press 'events' (make sure this is/gets pinned).
• Enable "select".
• Press erase then press the pad you want gone.
• Done.

My problem with the second method is that you mostly rely on visual feedback, you can't quickly play the sound to make sure this is what needs to be gone. Other than pressing 'select' again to disable it, then pressing the pad, then you can go back to the select mode again. Yes, it definitely works, but I prefer to focus on audible feedback and if you press "keyboard" then you don't have to work around anything like pinning to get there.
