for which is dis played on the slot, to the right of the name of
any Groove which is loaded into it. When a MIDI key within the
Groove Librarian’s key range is played, the MIDI note value and
the Groove name are high lighted in red. If you are in Auto Shuffl e
mode, the MIDI key highlight will remain on the originally triggered
note, while the actual Groove which is playing will be highlighted
instead. The current Groove is also shown in the Current Groove
display.
