Where is the stop button?

Excuse me for my ignorance, but where is the loop stop button? I see pause and trigger, but isn't there a button to just stop the loop and back it up to the starting position?

There are two effective ways to stop, Pause, and Mute. Pause stops time from proceeding, un-pausing continues from where it left off. Mute keeps time running just silencing the loop output. At any time you can "Trigger" to start the loop from the top. There's no single function to stop and return to top without starting it. Is there a certain use-case that you have that requires it? Eg, what's the use of forcing it to be at the loop start when not running? When you do want to run, you just hit Trigger.

Hi Jesse - It's simply for pedal usage. If I have to press one pedal to pause and a different one to trigger (or start from beginning) it uses two pedals. This is opposed to having a stop/start button whereas if I hit one pedal once, it'd stop the loop, press the same pedal again and it will start the loop from the beginning.

As I'm sure you're aware, most hardware looping pedals have this feature.

Great looper btw as I've only started using it today (been looping with hardware for about 7 years now)

Alright, good enough for me. I'll call the command "stop_or_trigger".

I apologize, what does this mean : "I'll call the command "stop_or_trigger"." ?

[jesse]

Sorry, it means that the underlying command name for the new one will be 'stop_or_trigger'. If you go into the Preferences->MIDI Bindings page you'll see a dropdown listing all commands and controls and they all have names like that, there are far more there than the GUI shows, all bindable. I might make a button on the GUI (if I can fit one in somewhere!) for it too, but as most people use hardware controllers, there's no real need for it to be there in practice.

Thanks for considering this feature.

Any ETA on availability?
