Jump to next/last track buttons

Post by Coketech » Thu Jun 30, 2016 7:57 pm

We run a lot of dance schools and the dance teachers always want to jump back and forward between cues/tracks.
A button to stop the current cue, move to the next (or previous) cue, then play, would be extremely handy.
Thanks!

The best way to have quick shortcuts "Jump to next, Go Back, is using a midi keyboard or midi controller (I use a Korg Nanopad2 which is very small, useful and affordable (60$)).

Then
- Go to Editor/Production Properties/Cue Control.
- Enable Cue from these interfaces (don't forget to check Midi IN Port, Contol Method (MIDI Note ON), MIDI Channel).
- Go to the list below "Cue Control Commands
-Activate "Note On" in front of the functions you need (eg: Go, Stop Everything, Pause/Resume, Go to Top etc.)
A small window called "kk" will open.
Enter the number of Midi note which will play the functions (eg on Nanopad, Midi Notes are 36,37,37 etc.)
- Apply device Changes

You can now use your Midi controller to use your favorite shortcuts.

Another trick :
If you want to play a Cue with your Midi Keyboard or controller :
Then you check "Play Cue 1-127 in this area.
Then Go to Editor/Cue page.
it allows you to play any cue via MIDI Note, just by entering a MIDI Note number in the MIDI/DMX Cue small window.
Very useful for Hotkey Cues.
You can use this trick for Sounds, Videos/Images, Sto/Fade-out, etc.

Enjoy it
