Locate Points / RTZ

Hi there - great software! I just downloaded last night and tried getting acquainted. I came up on tape and used to own an MTR-90 - one thing I immediately missed were auto locate points. I see how you can set markers - but I want to be able to easily rewind to one of them. (Unless I'm missing something?). You could also 'auto loop' a section of tape, but of course had to wait for it to rewind - which was also very handy.

Here's how studer did it: https://reverb.com/item/30812873-studer-a827-remote-w-auto-locator-module-connection-cables-near-mint-condition-ships

Other future requests- tape formulas/EQ curve à la UAD.

I was tickled pink to hear the scrubbing on rewind and ability to scrub. Fun memories. And more importantly it was nice (but weird) not to see the waveforms and just use my ears again.

Looking forward to using it more.

Edit: figured out how they work currently- definitely good enough to keep moving forward. The ability to jump directly to specific ones would be a plus up but this works too!
