Repeated presses of J or L should play audio backward or forward at progressively increasing speeds, while K stops playback. Pressing the opposite direction key should reduce the current shuttle speed step by step.
Hi,
that’s probably already doable (for example AutoHotKey or a script). Have you tried? What OS are you on?
Just a FYI, by assigning JKL you would overwrite default key commands.
I don’t think Cubase supports playback at higher or lower speeds.
I do it with up/down pitch buttons but that’s only through varispeeding the clock at the interfaces. Cubendo obeys fine that way with instant pitch & speed change on the fly at playback or record like on my tape machines.
A rotary control would be nice. I haven’t delved into that approach.
But yeah, I can see the attraction of this type of thing being part of the Cubendo code like (I think) reaper can do.
Dunno about the backwards thing.
@mlib Yes, I was referring to Shuttle Play, see Steve’s screenshot.
@kontakt1 I said “probably” because you need to come up with some kind of script that “holds” and “remembers” the current playback speed in order to increase/decrease the current speed with another fixed speed until you reset this temporary variable by pressing K (to stick with your assigned keys) and stop playback.
