Stop all S9 Sampler sound, including effect tails

Press Esc while S9 Sampler has focus and no overlay is open, or click Stop all. It stops S9’s notes, Remix, previews and effect tails. Your DAW keeps playing.

Updated 7 November 2026 · S9 Audio

When an overlay is open, Esc closes that first. Your DAW may also keep Esc for itself, so the Stop all button is always there.

For S9 Sampler 0.1.6 (paid beta). More help inside the app: Help & Shortcuts → Shortcuts.

Step by step

  1. Close any overlay

    If a window is open inside S9, Esc closes it first. Finish or close it so you don’t lose a recording.

  2. Click inside S9

    Give S9 Sampler keyboard focus before using shortcuts.

  3. Stop the sound

    Press Esc or click Stop all. S9’s notes, Remix, previews and tails stop.

  4. Stop the DAW too?

    Use your DAW’s own Stop to stop the whole project.

Good to know

Sound keeps coming back?

If the DAW is playing, it keeps sending notes. Stop the transport or check the track’s MIDI.

Stopping isn’t resetting

Your Chops, edits and sample stay as they are.
