I have tried but do not not yet find a way to set a loop range by defining custom function buttons on a  control surface.

Anyone know of a way to set loop start and end points using a control surface?

Hi, I bought Platinum a couple of years ago. ....Does anyone know:    Is the Bandlab version the same as the version that I bought

I think scook covered it. I will just add:

Cakewalk by BandLab is same as Sonar Platinum, EXCEPT that Cakewalk by BandLab is EVEN BETTER, because there are new features/improvements that have been added, and it appears that further development/support is now ongoing.

I kept using Platinum way too long (before switching to CbB) because I had presumed CbB was a "light" version of Cakewalk Sonar. I am extremely happy with  Cakewalk by Bandlab, because the DAW I know best is "alive and well". And the amount of excellent Youtube tutorials for Cakewalk by Bandlab is tremendous. Not to mention there is a plethora of older Cakewalk Sonar Youtube tutorials that are still relevant. 

For live performance, definitely check out https://gigperformer.com/

I did gigs with Cakewalk Sonar starting in 2013 (because I knew Sonar so well, but of course it was not suited well at all for "live gig" situation), then I was much happier after switching a true "live VST host and song/setlist manager" which was Brainspawn Forte  (until they ceased development),  and now, Gig Performer is my choice for "live VST host and song/setlist manager".

I have my number keypads 'Key Binded' to 
1 = Previous Measure
2 = Next Measure
3 = Previous Marker
6 = Next Marker

If I need anything with more resolution, I use Snap To. 

 

I can move around my project with ease.

 

[edit] Pressing J puts the cursor in Jog mode. : )

[Ignore my question/comment: "Is this using CAL? I cannot find this possibility in custom key bindings."]

Because I figured it out. Problem was I did not know the "title" I was looking for in key bindings. The title that actually does what I wanted was: "Go to start of this measure or start of prior measure" and "Go to end of this measure or end of next measure"
