@Alex_KW The feature is still there, as far as the external pedal goes, last time I checked -with the latest 4.0.1 beta firmware.
Can you point me to the settings you have used? My end result, during play, I engage an external footswitch to Pause / Unpause. When in Pause, press and hold of the main pedal should end the song without any outro.
@Alex_KW
Option 1
If you still want to use the Main Pedal hold option to Stop the BB hereās what you need to do:
Main Pedal:
1- Start Beat = Release (REQUIRED)
2- Unpause Behavior:
-Main Pedal Unpause:
-Hold = Stop Song
Option 2
If the āStar Beat = Releaseā is no good due to timing issues, then the external foot pedal is the way to go, as follows:
Main Pedal:
1- Start Beat = Press
2- Unpause Behavior:
-Main Pedal Unpause:
-Hold = (grayed out)
*Note: Holding MP causes transition
-External Device Unpause = Outro Stops Song
I tested both options and they work.
Cheers!
Hey there, yes we changed the logic a bit but like he explained above, this is still possible.
If you have the pedal set to react on the release (Main Pedal > Start Beat), you can set the tap and the hold behavior of the Main pedal while paused. If the pedal is set to Start Beat on the Press, it doesnāt make sense to allow a hold command, because the tap will always be read first, this is why we changed the logic a bit.
If you also change External unpause behavior ( Main Pedal > Unpause Behavior > External Device Unpause) and set it to always stop. Then, you can set one of the external footswitch buttons to send an outro command, or send a MIDI outro command (CC115 value 1-127) and this will stop the song.
If Start Beat must be on press, you can also set it to tap to stop when pressing the main pedal while paused, this option is newly available because holding options are blocked. This just keeps you from being able to tap to fill or to play intro while paused and using the Main Pedal.
Let me know if this makes sense!

@BrennanSingularSound I find the (Unpause) Tap = Stop option to be very limiting and rarely useful as I have many songs that require continuing (whether via a Fill or a Transition) after an Unpause action. And I use the Tap for Fills.
Having said that, how I wish these parameters were available on a per-song basis, which the user could change as required or leave it to the gobal default settingā¦

You may say Iām a dreamerā¦ ā¦

Thank you @lugoluis & @BrennanSingularSound. I will test these options on the pedal and report back.

There are several ways you could do this otherwise, sending a fill or transition command from the ext footswitch or via MIDI will also allow you to do that and still have the stop command available when tapping.
We canāt make everyone happy but we have provided a pretty ample set of pathways to set the BB up to work in a whole number of ways
Thank you for your feedback!
