Restarting step sequencer in DAW

#1

I’ve written a simple step sequencer for controlling some effect parameters. It works well and locks to my DAW’s tempo. However, I want it to reset when playback is started so that it always starts on step 1. Is there a “playback started” signal that I can use?

#2

I guess I’m asking if there is a trig version of IS_PLAYING.

#3

IS_PLAYING will return 0 or 1 at k-rate. But if you need to know when the user has moved back to the start you’ll also need to check TIME_IN_SECONDS or one of those other channels.

#4

Thanks. I should probably do this relative to the measure/beat in some way instead.
