Keyboard Shortcut To Play Song From Start (Orderlist 0)

Hi, is there a hotkey/button to push to play the entire song from the start?

Spacebar, and Right Control, do it in current pattern.

Also, is there someway to define a loop point, in orderlist, and play from the start of it with a hotkey? In my song I have several patterns that do a very big and long build (over a minute) and as I edit more and more, and add more patterns into orderlist, it becomes more and more of an annoyance to check the edits from the start (accumulation of effects/automation over time etc). There has got to be a way to do this without destroying my index fingers via: left click orderlist, mouse wheel mouse wheel mouse wheel, Right Control.

No?

Shift+ESC, then CTRL+Home/CTRL+End works good enough to get to the beginning and end of orderlist I suppose.

Is it possible to mark in loop selector area of orderlist to mark the loop, then what keys to jump to loop start/loop end?

Strange that there is no “Play the entire song” command / hot key though? Unless I miss it?

Sorry my oldschool is showing. Replace “orderlist” with “pattern sequence” in my original post.

Can I use lua to create a simple add-on that I can bind a keyboard shortcut to that does the following:

Play Loop Sequence:
renoise.song().transport:trigger_sequence(renoise.song().transport.loop_sequence_start)

Play song:
renoise.song().transport:trigger_sequence(renoise.song().sequencer:pattern(renoise.song().sequencer.pattern_sequence[1]))

Thanks in advance. Not sure what to do to make the tool, but this works from the terminal.

Nevermind I just created the tool :) That was easy!

I’ll upload it to the Tool library.

Another lua victory! :)

OK it’s up here waiting for validation: http://tools.renoise.com/tools/playplus

:)

Very cool API and simple enough to use. The Scripting Terminal with rprint, oprint, etc, is fantastic way to browse in addition to the documentation included.

Really well done Renoise DevTeam :)
