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!
@Denis yep, the Minilab for exemple does it. I’m trying to figure out how to do this in CSS for convenience: i enjoy editing and working in the MPC, but when using the VST, playback is handled by Live. Being able to move around the timeline and restart playback from wherever you are is super convenient for editing MIDI in MPC. You work in “patterns” that repeat, so you are always on beat. And the MIDI Fighter is right next to the MPC 🙂 Unfortunately, the MF utility doesn’t allow much control with the encoders, but that’s okay. Once you move around in the timeline, the knob resets. But there’s still the issue of the “green triangle” 🙂

Thank you John! What a name for a Relative knob…Yesterday instead of read the manual, i was watching a tutorial online and the guy has no clue about that type of encoder
