Cubase 15.0.20 Bug report (Playback from last position)

Steinberg,

There is a little bug that I noticed, a feature that worked fine in the previous version I worked on (Cubase Pro 12)

I have a separate keyboard shortcut for “Restart from last stop position”, as I have been using this function extensively for years.

However, when doing this on Cubase 15.0.20 while working inside a loop, the function doesn’t work well. => The “last stop position” just changes randomly after a while.

Please have a look into this.

Kind regards,

Felix Ando

Hi Felix,
I cannot see anything wrong. In your video you pressed Stop (20-21 seconds into the video), that changed the position to which to jump to.

Hi Johnny, thanks for the reply.

So at 20-21 second, the key that I pressed is exactly the shortcut for the “restart from last stop position”.

What happens is that, once the loop replays, pressing that shortcut does not restart from last stop position, but it pauses the playback very briefly (only during the time the shortcut is pressed), and subsequently it sets that new stop position at the moment I pressed the shortcut.

Which is a behavior that didn’t happen in Cubase Pro 12.

I can also not see any point in purposefully implementing this feature, since pressing the “restart from last stop position”-shortcut during playback is going to be mostly off-grid, so not a precise position that I designated.

It is also not fulfilling the purpose of “restart from last stop position”, since it pauses the playback the first time the loop replays, instead of doing what the function is supposed to do, namely “restarting”.

Therefore I reckon this must be a bug.

Can you show the key command assignment please? I am not able to reproduce the issue.

Wait, I got the commands wrong. I recall having run into your issue already with Cubase 12. I fixed it for me by creating this macro:

The function that you use gets messed up after a cycle jump (ie. the song cursor jumped from the right locator to the left one). But the shown commands don’t have that issue.
If you don’t want to stop playback you would just use the second command.

There is an issue with Restart from last stop position if you have Cycle active. I reported on it in 2024 but didn’t get any response.

Thanks for your reply. I was sure this didn’t happen in Cubase 12, but maybe I was mistaken. I will check if I can recreate your macro commands. Thanks !

Oh true, I hope they will address this problem then. Weird that I hadn’t noticed it till now. Best regards

So I just verified, if it does the same thing in Cubase Pro 12, and the issue is not there.

Here is a video to demonstrate it.

It would be of great help, if this can be addressed in Cubase 15

Kind regards.

Strange. It doesn’t work correctly for me in Cubase 12.
Restart

I’m using Restart from Last Stop Position assigned to Ctrl + Space.

That’s exactly the function I’m using as well.

I assigned the function to “v”

That’s strange yeah, but either way in Cubase 15, which I use now, it doesn’t work. It does the same like in your video.
