Question

Assuming there is no way to directly bind a key to a start/stop "pause" control, how would I create a macro so that, with "Return to start on stop" enabled, when I push the enter key playback starts, and when I push the enter key again, playback pauses at that cursor position (rather than returning to start) ?

Seems really strange there is no control already in place to handle this behavior?

Answer 1

This is a good feature. To permanently enable return to start/stop but if I wish to override that control I press another key to make it behave like Return to start/stop is disabled. I've noticied I press Alt/Option + Numpad 0 many many times. Instead for example Conrol/command+space could do the inverse. If return to start/stop is toggled on then Cntrl/command+space could work temporarily as play where the cursor was paused, and vice versa for if return to start/stop is off then the latter would perform the other way..

Answer 2

Right click on the triangle (play) or square (stop) in the console.

It allows you to toggle the desired behavior. "Return to Start on Stop"

I realize this is not what you are looking for (I do miss this Cakewalk feature).

What I do is have "Return to Start on Stop" disabled and just hit Num 0 if I want to go back to the previous playback position.

Hope this helps,

P.S.

I don't see the Feature Request tag on this post.  You may want to add that so that Presonus devs will see it when enough folks have up-voted it.
