add a panic / all off button #148

Hello,

I use giada to play samples & drums with my band, using a midi pedal board.

During rehearsal, I often need to stop all sounds from giada, I do it assigning a midi note to stop each sound. Would it be bossible to add a "panic" button to stop all sounds ? That button should be keyboard or midi driven.

Hi there, at the moment we have a panic-like effect with the "stop all channels" flag available in the Configuration window, "Behaviors" tab (documentation). This is not a true panic mode however: FX tails (delays, reverbs, ....) won't get truncated. Is it enough for your scenario?

Hi, This option works when using the sequencer and I don't : I basically use giada as a sample player : every sound is set to "Oneshot Press", one sample can last few minutes.

So for now I've set the same midi note to the "key release" on all my samples, it does the job, but in my case, a "stop all" button / trigger would be awesome :)

You are right, the "stop all channels" option works only when using the sequencer. So the panic button is a sensible feature to add :) Thanks!

It's great if you can add this feature, thank you :)
