I am still wrestling with this wonderful machine but would love to find a way to stop the sample playing other than turning the volume down or turning off the rack. I am probably an idiot but any help greatfuly welcome.

Press Source+Freeze to enable Grain trigger. Then you can trigger single grains up to 2 or 3 seconds long depending on the Overlap knob.
Make sure the size knob is fully ccw(I don’t know why).

Aside from @Bathrobe 's direction to the “triggered grains mode” - that limits the amount of output samplelength at least if it is indeed a trigger instead of a gate - , depending on what exactly you’re after concerning the sample to stop, I’d also look to use the module like a simple oscillator with a VCA after its outs. I tend to mult the gate used for opening the VCA (depending on the source without an envelope in the chain) and patch into the reset-input of Nebulae as well to restart the sample from the beginning when I want it to play. In many cases, I would not want my sample to only fall silent, I would like to control where it is, when engaging the sound again. This would of course not simply give you the option, to continue to play the sample from the last heard position (so it would not stop a virtual playhead).
Without checking the Graintrigger-mode right now, I recollect that it does not really stop a sample from playing but just “let’s out” the grain of the sample that’s currently playing in the looped samples timeline, right?
I mean, it’s a powerful module, but after all, it still is embedded in a modular enviroment and I myself took an ashaming amount of time to “remember” that most soundsources are connected to an external VCA, if they don’t feature one themselves.

Thanks for that.

You are not wrong in saying that it is a powerful module. I will take on board what you have suggested and step back and start again.
