Hi, my first post on this forum! I'm a 20 year DP user and am trying out Studio One 5.
It's all looking good but I wish I could find a key command for jumping to a particular measure. In DP, it's period key + measure number. Is there an equivalent in Studio One? I've looked all over but haven't been able to find this information. Thanks for your help. |
I don't think there is such a key command in S1. There are key commands to jump to start and end loop markers and also to jump to previous/next marker which would go some way to doing what you want.
I tend to use the loop markers in conjunction with the arranger track when working on a particular part of a song. If I want to work on verse 1 I click on it in the arranger track, press P and the loop markers are set to that section the Numpad 1 and 2 jump to start and end of the loop and numpad / toggles looping on and off. So I've never really felt the need to jump to a specific measure but if you've been doing it for 20 years in DP I can see how you would miss that function in S1! The only time I really use markers is on the fairly rare occasions when I am scoring to video, when having cue points for key events in the video is useful. |
There are also key commands which jump from numeric key pads to specific markers. Not just Next/Previous which are also on other key commands.
Adequate workaround. Place markers on the measures of interest. Currently Numeric Keypads 1 and 2 go the start/end of the loop. Numeric keypad 3 goes to marker 1, numeric keypad 4 to marker 2 etc. These could easily be changed so numeric keypad 3 goes directly to marker 3 and 4 to 4 etc.. Numeric keypads 1 and 2 could also be reset to markers 1 and 2 instead of the loop start/end options. So you could jump with just one button press to 9 measure locations.

Thanks for your quick responses and suggestions! I can see now that S1 is very oriented toward songwriting. Most of my composition is for film and video game scores, so I usually don't have verses, choruses, etc. I do use lots of markers, but it helps to be able to navigate to a precise location. I guess I'll just have to see how it goes in day-to-day use.

charlottemcmillan wroteHi, my first post on this forum! I'm a 20 year DP user and am trying out Studio One 5. The function you are looking for in S1 exists, it is called: "Goto Time" you will find it in the keyboard shortcuts in the Transport section. I think it should be called "Goto Measure" ... |
Jemusic wroteThere are also key commands which jump from numeric key pads to specific markers. Not just Next/Previous which are also on other key commands. One of the things I love about this forum is how many little things you can learn from threads like this. I'd never noticed those other Numpad actions. So, by default, Numpad keys 3 to 9 jump to marked 1 to 7 respectively and looking at the keyboard shortcuts you can assign a keypresses for markers 1 to 20. But patrice has the answer in the post above. "go to time" defaults to Ctrl-t so press that, type the measure number and press enter. Every day is a school day. |
Well that is great and I did not know about it either. On a Mac it is Command+t as well. Great feature for sure. The numeric keypad to markers idea is also good for jumping real fast to obvious sections I suppose but the GoTo time thing is great for very specific measures.

I'm a fan of keyboard shortcuts, I have them fully customized.
If I use the mouse for too long, I can't play the piano anymore! Macros are obviously very useful to me ... |
