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!
Hi John, sorry I wasn’t clear earlier: the Move Insert Marker to Playhead function is found in Live, under the Playback menu.
What I’d like to do is move the playhead across the entire timeline—just like how the encoder on the Minilab 3 works—and have the Insert Marker (the green triangle that appears in Live when you click on the timeline or press stop twice) follow the playhead.
That way, I can stop playback and resume from the same point, even if I’ve clicked on the timeline.
The issue isn’t about inserting a cue point/marker, but rather about controlling that green triangle in Live which determines where playback starts after clicking in the timeline or pressing stop twice.
The second issue is that the knob stops once it reaches its maximum value.
If I have a 3-minute song, I can’t move all the way to the end.
I have no idea how the Minilab manages to achieve this, and I was looking for a way to do the same in Control Surface Script (CSS).
