I've been delving into Aurora Sound Studio HD over this weekend and have found there is so much to learn, but it's fantastic!

Unfortunately, I've not been able to find a way to make a song stop. I've populated a new song chain with a few blocks, but when I go to play the song, it keeps playing even after it's reached the last populated song position. For example, let's say I put 4 blocks in the song chain. If I then select the first song position and tap the Play Song button, Aurora will play those four blocks and then repeat the fourth block until I tap the Stop button (or, presumably, until Aurora finishes playing the 199th song position).

Is there some way to indicate the end of the song and/or make it loop back to the first song position and keep playing? If not, are there any plans to update the app soon to add these features?

Agreed, this was the first thing that jumped out at me after the first night of playing.

Looping the pattern chain is an absolute must.

Hi

If you look at some of the demo sequences you will notice that some of them do stop playing after a certain amount of time. The song itself keeps on playing until it reaches song position 199, but the trick is to place an empty bock at the position you want to song to stop.

If for instance you wanted to play block 1 for 2 iterations then block 2 for 1 then stop, you would do the following.

1) Place block 1 at song position 1
2) Place block 2 at song position 3
3) Place an empty block (block 3 perhaps) at song position 4

Notice that you don’t have to place a block at song position 2!

If you miss a block the song simply plays the last selected block at the current song position. By the same token if you place an empty block at position 4, this will be repeated indefinitely until we hit song position 199.

I hope this helps,
Tracy
