I'm making a simple sampler controlled by a qwerty keyboard using the key and keyup objects. I wanted to know how to get tabplay to stop playing the sample when I let go of the key. It seems to just accept any number as a bang. I want it to start playing the sample when I press the key and stop when I let go.

thanks

It actually accepts two numbers: the first is the starting sample, and the second is how many samples to play. If you don't give it a second number, it defaults to 0, which it interprets as playing the whole thing. So if you send something like [0 1(, that should do it.

it also accepts a [stop( message,

(which is strangely omitted from the help file.)
