Shortcut key for ticker duration

I'm using a LaunchControlXL midi unit with VMix and it's been plain sailing so far.
However, we have a lot of variable length ticker titles and ideally I want to change the duration of the ticker title from the midi controller using a slider during a live broadcast.
We would then store multiple ticker text's in the one title and switch between them and adjust each ticker text's duration's so they kept going at a constant speed.
However, I can't find one. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
I suppose a workaround would be to have a lot of separate ticker title inputs.

I had the same issue when I was feeding the ticker from an external script , the prblem is you don't set a speed but a total duration, I ended up editing the title to show the duration to be set along side the text , then within the php that was feeding in the content I did a character count then set the duration accordingly

@ redpowerstation
Perhaps a "Feature Request" is in order...
AFAIK there isn't any means within the API to alter or set the duration of the 'Ticker' playback.
