Post SKIP BACK BUTTON
I would realy apreciate the skip back button to have an cue timing option!!!
So I don't need to use the live time fader to do that ,cause maybe i use it for something else.

Isn't the pause button for that, so you can go back a cue with timing? Or are you thinking something else?

You're a step ahead of me Giancarlo. I've been using jump to accomplish what you're doing with the live time. I think I'll start using live time.

I'm hesitant to say skip back should have timing associated. I like that it snaps for most things. I've thought about this feature before, I've always envisioned it as a whole new button. It would be like a play button but one that plays the previous step with the cue timing or a set timing.

Pause seems like it just snaps back. I could be wrong, it has happened...

Hi there so I was thinking of a new button, a function that gives us the chance to skip back using the cue timing !
Don't think about superplayback I don't want to use it,forget about that section so you can use it for ather stuff!
I would realy like to have it cause in a live show this is a very usefull function!

...but applec2400 is right: you can set any cuelist button as "pause", just as you can set it as "skip back". Pause will step back using the cue's timing (once the cue's finished running. Otherwise, one press of pause stops the cue executing, a second press will fade it back...)

Do you want it to reload the previous cue instead of releasing the current one? I guess you could call it a jump back instead of a skip back or something.

That could be a problem that's why I would realy apreciate the skip back with cue timing, and not the pause button that needs to finish the cue time.

I think skip back needs to be left as is. I'm all for a new button type.

How about "play previous" ?

Sounds good. There is that extra play button in the SP now. I've been asking for a simple go back button for a while now.

Hi to all for sure it has to reload the previous cue respecting the cue timing, call it how you want ( GO BACK,SKIP BACK,TURN BACK,PREVIOUS,but just add that feature !

While I'm not opposed to the idea of an extra option along these lines, I worry slightly over the implications of a previous cue being played back while the current cue is not finished executing, yet.
This sounds like something that would need to be tested VERY thoroughly, before being released...

Hi there nice to see you again here in the forum!
I am on a tour actualy and I am using a t2 ,I am doing already this stuff by using the live time fader and the skip back button but it's not realy comfortable! it's better having a dedicated button for this, so the superplayback can be used for other stuff.
But if we could have this option on a button, first it's realy comfortable and it's great because if you skip back with cue timing,you will have a smooth turn to precedent colour with cmy spots,or a very smooth turn back to a previous position and dimmer ecc... !

Ok that makes more sense. Plus I've had time to kind of toy around with what you were talking about.
