> Debug: [VinylControlXwax 1]: record end, setting constant mode

Your skin may be missing the new vinyl GUI elements. Vinyl control has three modes, which are togglable at any time* with midi or by the GUI: ABSolute, RELative, and CONSTant. Absolute mode follows the needle wherever it goes, relative keeps the playhead in the same place but takes the pitch from the vinyl, and constant just keeps playing at the last rate.

When the needle reaches the end of the record, the vinyl control switches to constant and there's an indicator light that should blink orange. At this point, you can move the needle back a few minutes and then change the playback mode to relative -- this way you can keep controlling the speed of playback.

But, the one bug report I would take from this is that when loading a new track, vinyl control should switch out of CONST and back to either ABS or REL... not sure how best to pick which

(* it is not possible to switch to ABS mode if you're already playing the record -- this prevents accidental sudden jumps. To get to ABS mode, stop the record and then switch the mode)
