Undocumented TranzPort replay function for BIAB - 01/30/10 12:42 AM
I discovered this by messing around with my TranzPort, which is several rooms from my computer. With an increased use of Real Tracks, I wondered if it were possible to avoid waiting for Real Tracks to regenerate every time I pressed Play on the TranzPort. This is particularly annoying since I cannot see the computer and kind of wonder (with wireless) if the command 'took', until I hear the count-off.
If you press Shift+Play, you get Replay!
Although I reported this to PG Music and to Frontier Design, it hasn't made it into any documentation. Even with the improvement in regeneration time with BIAB 2010, this tip still is useful to avoid any delay in starting your BIAB song unless all the tracks are frozen.
