Hi Leo,
Is it possible to be able to start a timer that start with a specific message clip in the performance view that stops with the autostop marker in the session?
To be able to start a timer for a stage manager on his IPad for example after the the 2 bars of count in of the song so he can have a reference during the playback that stops with me.
Maybe a sort of OSC command for the iPad timer
Thank you
This might be way overkill for your use case but you could do this with Companion. It has a module that is a stopwatch so you could use Rosstalk and after the two bar count in, you could put a midi clip that presses the button to start the timer in companion and have that pulled up on a phone or something that they could see.
Hey @michae, welcome to the forum!
That’s a great suggestion, I could imagine implementing this as a feature that can be controlled via OSC, maybe with an additional UI to control it manually.
This could also include a countdown which might be helpful for some scenarios as well.
The OSC functions could look like this:
/timer/start starts the timer/timer/pause pauses the timer/timer/reset sets the time back to 0:00 (and stops it, maybe?)/timer/set [time in seconds] sets the timer to a given time/timer/adjust [delta in seconds] adjusts the time by a given valueAnd the functions for a countdown could be similar:
/countdown/start [optional time in seconds] starts the countdown from a given time or from where it left off/countdown/startUntil [time] starts a countdown that reaches 00:00 at the given time/countdown/pause pauses the countdown/countdown/set [time in seconds] sets the countdown to a given value/countdown/adjust [delta in seconds] adjusts the countdown by a given valueThe timer and countdown could then be displayed in the performance view or as custom elements on the canvas.
What do you think, would this work for your use case? 
Hi Leo,
Thanks for the reply.
I think this way would be perfect for our use.
Thank you so much
