| description: | Set the start time for the internal timecode or Winamp |
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

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

Explanation
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.SetStartTimeis used to set the actual start time of the timecodeTimecode.MakeTimecodeTimeis 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 SetStartTimeTimecode.TimecodeFour.Resetis needed to finally update the start time
How to use it
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.
