Topic: Needle Drop BYPASS / RELATIVE MODE is really needed

With the NEW timecode algorithm in 2.1 its very hard to use the stored cues.

Until now my workaround was this:
I made a "special" timecode version for cd players, by looping 20 sec "out of range" at 11.xx + min of the timecode. This worked like needle drop feature was off, but with Start/stop and pitch control from the player. Is not working anymore in 2.1

Even with "scratch" cd players and/or TC vinyls/turntables a small part of the timecode must be played before a "go to cue" command from keyboard.
This is the only way to start the song from a cue point.
Else it starts from the point where the record/timecode is.
Its called ABSOLUTE MODE.
A needle drop bypass option is really needed, (is called RELATIVE MODE) and i thing it is a fair demand to ask for the NEXT version, it must be not so hard just a "CHECK BOX"

In many cases Relative mode is much preferable, (navigate a song is easy with keybord shortcuts) and the only option for cd players without scratch (cdj-100 etc.)

Please add it to the "Task-list" for the next release, it is really worth it.
