    Hi, I'm testing 2 ensembles that I really like, Metaphysical function and Greyscale, the problem is that I dont know how to sequence them, how to stop/play them in the sequencer. They are continually sounding (I have to turn off reaktor)

    I don't know about Greyscale, but Metaphysical Function is designed to play soundscapes, so it won't stop.

    There are some special presets that use MIDI notes - these might work...

    Otherwise you'll need some sort of gate device to handle the sound.

    A simple ADSR module triggered by some MIDI channel would be easy to make. Or look through the U/L for Gates.

    Or put the Gate into your sequencer.

    Thanks Jim. I will try that.
    Greyscale is a matrix sequencer, Im trying to trigger the different patterns or "snaps".

    If you're working in a DAW, use program changes to change snapshots; program a silent snapshot to turn off output as required.

    Snapshot changes in Metaphysical Function may generate unwanted noises as delay lines get reset.
