Sorry, Leandro, I was not very clear. What I meant is this.... Let's say you have just one Unit -- Explorer. Now you create a Trajectory and the unit starts playing it in a loop. How do you stop the playback? I figure out that you can Remove the unit, but is there any other way to stop the looping/playback?

Hello Thom, 

this is Agus, also from AudioStellar. 

So, the software doesn't have a play/stop button. For that reason, the 2 ways to stop it, would be to clear the trajectory or mute the Unit. 

In the case of the "Sequence Unit", there is a slight difference. Sequence units follow the global tempo. This tempo can't be stopped. But, if you sync AudioStellar with other software/hardware by using the Midi Clock option in the Settings menu, then the global tempo will follow the other software/hardware, and in that case, it is possible to Play/Stop the Sequence Units from this other software/hardware. For example, if you Midi sync with Ableton Live, every time you play or stop in Ableton, Sequence Units will play/stop. The same will be if you use an external sequencer, like an Arturia Beatstep, for example. 

Although it is not possible yet, we are planning to make "Trajectories" follow the global tempo too. 

Hope this helps. Any other suggestions, feel free to write.

Thank you, Agus. I get that now. But one last question, please. 

When you mute a Unit, does the underlying engine (software) continue to compute for that unit or does it stop. I suspect it continues and the mute action simply mutes the audio output, but not the processing leading up to the output. Which is correct? I'm curious about it from a computer resources point of view. 

Thanks again,

Thom

The unit will continue processing but the output will be muted, just like any DAW, I don't think it is a good idea to stop processing when muted.

I agree it would be useful to have play/pause stop buttons for trajectories and probably sequences

Thanks very much, Leandro. I’ll continue to explore AudioStellar with confidence knowing this info.
