Instant, Scalable Variation

Cartographer transforms Arrangement View’s Location Markers (or Cues) into markers for loopable sections. By selecting “Cues” as the Advance By mode, the Loop Brace will always start at the previous Cue and end at the next Cue from the playhead.

This way the Loop Length can dynamically shift to precisely match the exact length of time you might want to loop — you might go from a 4 bar section to a 16 bar section and Cartographer will ensure both are perfectly wrapped by the Loop Brace without the need for any additional setup.

Pay attention to the Loop Brace here. Setting Advance by to "Cues" snaps Arrarngement View's Loop Brace to start and end at the Location Markers in your set.

Outside of Cues mode, Cartographer also adds the possibility to add a new Cuepoint at the start of the Loop Brace so you can quickly mark the section without breaking attention from listening or playing.
