Show the Groove That was used when selecting a song part

[rodzimguitar68]

I created a song, labeled the song sections, and wrote in the chord changes.  Then I used the library of grooves to replace the midi.

Is there a way to keep the groove library open and every time I highlight a song section, if the midi in that section came from the loop library, the library will jump to that groove again?

For instance, I find a style I like, and I use the “Intro 01”, “Verse 03”, “Chorus 03” in my song even though I used them for the Intro, first verse, and first chorus, respectively.

I want to click on my first verse, and have the system tell me I am using a Pop/rock Straight 4/4 Ballad 66 Verse Groove “VERSE 03” in that region.

In this way, when I get to verse 2 of my song, I can choose something different, or, I can make sure to choose the same thing again, for consistency.

Maybe this is something I need to activate in basic settings, or it is something with a key combination, that I need help locating?

Thanks

Hey rodzimguitar68,

Any MIDI block can be matched in the grooves tab by selecting it and right clicking (or opening the Edit global menu), expanding the Find sub menu and selecting one of the options in there.

The “Show in Browser” option in that menu will open the grooves tab and take you to the folder that MIDI block sits in on your disk.

So to answer your question: there’s no shortcut, but you can right-click a MIDI block and select “Show in Browser” from the Find sub menu.
