Give Me 20 More Seconds!

You thought your pattern was a perfect fit for the music. But just before the end, you realize: I need a few more seconds to get all the dancers home.

In the past, when calling with records, you simply turned the record back a bit. This same option is now available in the Callers Caddy.

Another 20 seconds left

A fellow caller requested a button for this on her virtual stream deck. One click on the left arrow – and the caller's caddy jumps from the current position. 20 seconds back.

The music continues playing, giving her the necessary time for a clean ending.

The 20 seconds are just an example, of course. You decide how far forward or backward the jump is.

Here's how to set up the function

In the Rule Editor you will find in the group Transport The new promotion is located directly below "Go To Position":

Shift Position (relative ±)

There you enter the desired time in the format mm.cs in:

  • -0:20 jumps back 20 seconds.
  • 0:05 skips forward 5 seconds.

As a trigger, you can use, for example, a key on the keyboard or a button on the virtual Stream Deck.

The jump is executed with the same smooth crossfade as in "Go To Position". Furthermore, the caller's caddy automatically ensures that the jump doesn't occur before the beginning or after the end of the song.

With a single keystroke, you can buy yourself exactly the time you need for a successful conclusion.

And this is what the corresponding rule could look like for you:
