When I use a looper in Live situation , i first record a rythm part that i use later in the song to play a solo on top of it, but with the QC looper, when we stop recording , the recorded loop automatically starts to play immediately. So , to be complete regarding competitors, following feature should be implemented (maybe in place of the 1/2 tempo that is not used by so many people in my opinion) :
When we stop recording, the recorded loop should be put in memory without playing at once and can be recalled later in the song
Greetings
Totally agree.
This is a basic looper function!
Without it, for me, the looper is useless

I thought you could do thisā¦even with the QC. But I know you can do it with the MC8 using midi. It might work the same in āhybridā mode. I remember watching a YT video about this function.
As a current workaround, you can hit undo at the end of the loop you want to record, and then hit redo - this will stop the recording and keep it from playing, and then prime what you just recorded for play/stop going forward. If you have a MIDI controller as stated by @brucegregori you can also achieve this.

Definitely needed!!! Thanks
Completely disagree. The half-time is perfect for creative stuff and I use it basically every time I use the looper, whereas Iāve never needed the functionality described here (though I do see how it could be useful for someone) and it appears it can already be done (as stated elsewhere in this thread).

Also here to say half time is on of my main uses of the looper (and reverse as well before that one goes in its place).
No half time or reverse would render the looper useles to me.
Please do not implement this request since people can use the workaround from @RexRemus
Itād be great to add the stop functionality, but I love the 1/2 time and reverse options too- those definitely need to stay

What do use the half-time function for? 
Playing my loop at half the time I recorded it?

I like to do percussive stuff on different instruments then flip it or slow it down for a more interesting āmetronomeā
I keep seeing mentions of how we can use midi for āstopā command, yet I havenāt found instructions on how to do so. I tried and failed so far. Anyone has actually done that, or has a link to a video or instruction?
I use an XSonic Airstep pedal. It can be frustrating to make it do exactly what I want with the QC, but I think this is more a statement about the shortcomings of the QC than the Airstep (one gripe with the QC is how many functions are difficult to carry out using the self-contained controls, ie WITHOUT using an external MIDI pedal; such as changing Modes. Try doing that while playing live using just the built in method - pressing Tuner and Preset Down simultaneously - and see how long you last before you accidentally change Preset halfway through a song, instead of changing Mode!)
However, to do what youāre saying, I have the Airstep set up to send TWO MIDI commands at the same time; CC #56 Value 64-127 Undo/Redo Loop
So when Iāve finished recoding the loop, I press the footswitch that that Iāve assigned this message to and the loop will first UNDO (which is the same as āstoppingā it) and then automatically REDO (which will put the loop back in place, but in STOP mode, so it wonāt play until you press the Play switch)
