When stopping a song rather than stopping dead incorporate an effect that allows the user to let the song slow down to a stop like a vinyl record with the rate of braking controlled by a knob.

This could be easily implemented by just slowing down the rate in a realistic fashion. The existing scaling engine will provide the right sound "effect" automatically.

There'd be a little noodling around with what state the engine is in while it's stopping, but the actual sound is easy.

edit(ronso0 copying over from #7813 (comment))
Some other DJ products (software and my turntable) have a setting for "brake speed," so when you push the stop button the track doesn't quite stop immediately but takes a variable amount of time, from instant to many seconds. It would be nice to add this so users don't have to add a brake function to their controller configs. And on the upside, even keyboard users would get a nice brake sound if they want it.

This would just be a control pot meter, probably logarithmic going from 0 to, say 10 or 20. The controllerengine has some braking code that could be improved and brought into ratecontrol (or is it bpmcontrol?) and applied when the play status is disabled.

This is already built into the controller engine. We might consider adding this to the engine.

We may add this effect also to start operations.
