Song Position Action "END" does not stop the seq

MIDIbox SEQ
1

Hi, I feel kinda silly to ask. I´m pretty sure I missinterpreted some of the infos in the manual or I overlooked a setting somewhere.

 

My problem is that the action “end” is not stopping the sequencer. It displays the correct song position on the right side of the song page (the position i assigned the action “end” to) but it keeps playing the last song position over and over again.

 

  • I am using “song mode”, not “phrase mode”

  • The sequencers clock is set to Master

  • the current firmware 4.079 is loaded on an LPC17 core

  • I am using a Guide Track since the length of the patterns are 96 beats

 

What did I miss?

 

Thanks and greets

i think you will need to put a mute position for the patterns before the last song-step “end”.

otherwise, the seq will loop the last song position endlessly.

at least thats how i understood it :rofl:

Hi, thanks for the reply.

 

I just found the entry in the changelog. I knew I overlooked something :-).

 

I tried your suggestion but still, the sequencer isn´t stopping. It just loops the last (muted) patterns.

 

I understand why this behaviour has been introduced, it is nice to have the sequencer looping the last patterns as a transition to other songs/patterns/… But on other occasions I would like to have the sequencer stopped at the end of a song (in practice sessions with others,…).

 

Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Well, it has been requested that END shouldn’t stop the sequencer anymore, and nobody complaint.

 

If you want to get back the old behavior, you’ve to rebuild the firmware with following change in seq_song.c:

 

search for following lines:

case SEQ_SONG_ACTION_End:
#if 0
        if( song_active ) // not in phrase mode
          SEQ_BPM_Stop();
#else
        song_finished = 1; // deactivate song incrementer
#endif
        break;

and replace “#if 0” by “#if 1”

 

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hey, thank you very much. I´m ok with changing bits of the code myself.
