The idea is to use this macro to set the start time for the Winamp timecode and by doing so selecting tracks in Winamp without patching Winamp as a fixture. Here is an example for timecode 4 (I usually have TC 4 set to Winamp…) There is a thread in the forum for those interested http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&p=22493#p22493

There are similar functions and properties in the namespaces Timecode.TimecodeOne, Timecode.TimecodeTwo, Timecode.TimecodeThree and Timecode.TimecodeFour. Use the functions for the particular timecode you want to use.

• Timecode.TimecodeOne.SetStartTime
• Timecode.MakeTimecodeTime
• Timecode.TimecodeOne.Reset
• Math.IsEqual

• Timecode.TimecodeOne.IsControlAllowed

• step condition

The longer file with macros for all four timecodes is available here: timecode_setstarttime_full.xml

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

A specific timecode is set to a specific value. Effectively this only works for the internal timecode and Winamp and for Winamp this also works as a tool to jump to a specific song in the playlist.

• Timecode.TimecodeFour.SetStartTime is used to set the actual start time of the timecode
• Timecode.MakeTimecodeTime is used to convert a time of the format 01:00:00:00 into a format Titan can use. This function can be put directly in as parameter for SetStartTime
• Timecode.TimecodeFour.Reset is needed to finally update the start time

See Deploying macros.

What I like to do: use it in my set list for preprogramming. When you program with timecode changing the playlist in Winamp is a bit of a pain. Instead I add track macros in the setlist making Winamp skip to the desired track.
