Hey all,

Just wondering if there is a way to smooth out loop regions and/or transition points.

At the moment I’ve had to resort to a crude reverb effect between transitions, and I’m curious as to whether there is a way to crossfade between transitions and loop regions. Ultimately, I want the tail-off (which is in the sound file, by default) to continue playing immediately as it loops.

Sound modules with the play-to-end untriggering behavior might be of use to you; Only sound modules with the fall-silent untriggering behavior will immediately fall silent the way you describe. If you must use modules with the fall-silent behavior, I recommend making use of AHDSR modulators to extend the play length of the file so that it can be cross-faded.
