If a routine contains an announcement, it can be manually triggered from the announcements page, (accessible from the home page of WebApp) by pressing anywhere on the announcement box. When playing, the icon will indicate playback progression, and a stop icon will appear. This can be used to stop the playback before the end of the file.
Cancelling announcement playback
Announcements triggered from the announcement page can also be cancelled on Talk 8 by pressing the Clear/cancel button, which will briefly flash white. The announcement will also be cancelled when a routine containing the announcement is triggered.
A second press of the announcement will not apply any preset values inside that routine, it will just stop the announcement. This can be done from either the routines page, a ZonePad 4 in single zone mode with the routine assigned to one of the zones, or from 3rd party controllers triggering the routine via OSC.
ZonePad 4 in single zone mode with a routine assigned that contains an announcement will also flash the zone light while the announcement is playing, signalling which button to press to stop the announcement.
