Stopping samples from playing after clip end - Akai Force

Hello there.

I am trying to figure out how to stop samples from playing after the clips are... stopped.

As in: If I have a bunch of clips which loop, playing along, and then select a 'blank' clip to stop that particular track or part, how can I have all of the audio from that particular clip finish when the clip switches to the blank, as opposed to it continuing to play until the sample hits the end point?

This is apparently quite difficult to explain, but hopefully you get the idea.

Thanks in advance!

There are multiple ways to do this.
1-If the pads Sample Play option is set to Note On, you can set the pad gate length in the List-Editor.

2-If the pads are on One Shot, make sure the samples are the length of bars you want them to end.

3-On those blank clips have a pad w/o a sample & a pad that you to stop playing set to a mute group then insert each of those empty pads to the beginning of the clip sequence so they cut off the pads with samples. Sometimes this option isn't possible if there are no free pads, so you might have to split up a track program.

4-Resample that last row then insert that in the sequence mute or delete the part that you just sampled then trim the end point to stop where you want.

There are probably more methods, but that's all I got for now. Also, double tapping Stop ends all samples.

BTW are you the redhead dude with the YouTube channel?

Really helpful, thank you. I think Options 1 and 3 are most applicable. I was hoping there was some kind of global setting that I could just tell the Force to kill audio from clips once a new 'blank' chain is triggered on that track. But alas...

as for YouTube... I would argue that I am blonde with a ginger beard, but still (!).

OK blondie

That would be a cool feature. Please add it to the Force wishlist pinned to the top on of the main page.

My faith in Akai is low, but since you helped me out I will gladly.

When read over that long-ass thread I realized that Akai did add a lot of those features users asks for early on...so maybe that can give you "A New Hope" in the Force development.

May the motha **** Force be with you!

Consider it done.

Thanks!!!
