I cannot find the stop tone command in the mblock. Where is it?

@123,

Which version of mBlock are you using, and what command are you using to start the tone?

Im using the (v3.4.3) version of mblock.

Command used to start the tone is : play tone on (C4) beat (half)

Im a beginnner to mblock programming. while reading the manual i have seen that they have used stop tone. However, dont think the command is needed.

Please guide.

@123,

I think the manual may be out-of-date. The beat (half) should play a short tone and stop by itself.

The stop tone command was removed a few versions back. @tec_support reported to me that the original code for playing a tone and stopping it were causing some sort of low-level issues. The play tone block was replaced with a play tone for duration and the stop tone command was subsequently removed.
