Hi world,
I'm looking to create a code to use to create basic launchpad for music loops. I'd like to trigger an audio file/loop by pressing one key, have the playback continually loop itself until the same key is pressed again. Any suggestions?

I think you will have to use clones, otherwise the “stop all sounds” block will stop ALL sounds. If you have a sprite for each sound and have

when green flag clicked
set [sound] to [off ]
forever
    
wait until <key [key] pressed?>
if <[sound] = [off ]> then
create clone of [myself]
    
set [sound] to [on ]
if <[sound] = [ on]> then
set [sound] to [ off]
delete this clone
wait until <not <key [ key] pressed?>>
    
end

end

end

when I start as a clone
forever
    
play sound [ v] until done
end

that might work……………….

wait until not key pressed should be right at the end of the forever loop

If you don't mind the loop finishing itself before it stops, you can create a variable called “play” and use…

set [play] to [1 ]



when this sprite clicked
set [play] to ((play) * (-1))
repeat until <(play) > [0 ]>
    
play sound [ v] until done
end

This works because the variable “play” is being toggled between -1 and +1 on alternate clicks on the sprite.

also that is very confusing because LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST GROUP OF BLOCKS (STRING)
