Start play Song issue!
Good afternoon everyone!
Sorry for the many questions, but I’m trying to finalize the script once and for all. I managed to solve the timeline scrubbing issue thanks to the script I downloaded here. I just had to reduce the number of beats, otherwise the locator was moving too fast. Now I can scrub through the timeline and start the song from that point… unless I press stop twice! At that point, it no longer matters where the locator is — the song will always start from where the small triangular play marker is positioned in the timeline, which in this case is at the beginning.
On the Minilab 3, when you move through the timeline using the knob and press play on the same knob, the small play marker is automatically positioned at that point.
Is there a way to achieve the same result in CSS?
Basically, when you press play, the marker from which playback always starts should be updated to the current locator position.
Thanks again, and I hope someone can help me!
I tried using the “continue play” command but unfortunately it doesn’t work. In the first case, I added the action to the knob that performs scrubbing. When I move along the timeline, the playhead keeps moving and it’s not ideal, but if the green marker is set (Insert Marker), from that moment playback will always start from there—whether I press stop twice or click somewhere else in the timeline.
I also tried assigning the reaction to the play button, but had no success 🙂
While investigating in Live, I found that the only way to get the green marker back to the locator position is by selecting Playback > Move Insert Marker to Playhead.
But the marker will no longer follow the playhead, unlike what happens with the Minilab 3.

Where did you get “Playback > Move Insert Marker to Playhead”
Playback isn’t a menu category in CSS and I don’t know of an action called ‘Move Insert Marker to Playhead’
The ‘continue playing’ action will ignore the location of the insert marker and continue playing from where it was stopped
