Button to Jump to beginning of actual song

Support
1

I want to have a button that always jumps back to the beginning of the actual song. If I am right in the middle - go back to start. if I am already at start - do nothing.

However, I struggled to puzzle that from the OSC manual.

/setlist/jumpBySongs [steps] jumps by given number of songs

  • /setlist/jumpBySongs 1 jumps to the next song, /setlist/jumpBySongs -1 jumps to the previous one or to the beginning of the current song when the playhead isn’t at the start of the song

  • Adding a force=true parameter when jumping back a song (e.g./setlist/jumpBySongs -1 force=true) ignores the playhead’s current position inside the song and always jumps to the previous song

Hey @Sebastian,

This should give you exactly the behavior you’re looking for.
You can paste this either in a MIDI Mapping (script) or in a Canvas Button (script):

const start = osc("/setlist/activeSongStart");     // beats
const pos   = osc("/global/beatsPosition");        // beats (floored while playing)

// pequeño umbral para evitar jitter/redondeos
const eps = 0.5;

if (pos > start + eps) {
  sendOsc("/setlist/jumpToTime", start);
}

Hope that helps!

Since this is a pretty common use case, I’ve made a change that will be released in the next beta. To jump to the beginning of the current song, you’ll be able to use /setlist/jumpBySongs 0 force=true.

Excellent! Happy to see that implemented as a standard! :slight_smile:
