# stop()

Stops the sequencer’s player.

## Declaration

```swift
func stop()
```

## Discussion

Discussion Stopping the player leaves it in an unprerolled state, but stores the playback position so that a subsequent call to start() resumes where it stops. This action doesn’t stop an audio engine you associate with it.
