Eli , I don’t actually kill live\_loops in the program but use `stop` to stop them. I use `kill` to kill a playing sample as documented in the help files.  
In the same way I don’t use kill on an fx. I stop the live loop inside the fx, but don’t touch that directly. By calling the live\_loop inside a function each time it is possible to restart it.

My final code is now available at
