hi everyone, happy spring to one and all,
i’m writing a song and i’m trying to find the tempo i’m playing it in. what i’m doing is playing back what i’ve recorded, then i’m using “tap to find” and hitting the kick trying to match the tempo. then when i hit “show results” a list of possible grooves appear.
however, when i look at the tempo in the suggested grooves they all show 196bpm. this is confirmed when i hit “play in original tempo” I know i’m not playing that fast. (as if i could)
what i need to know is how do i match the tempo from tap to find so i can set the global tempo setting in my DAW (studio one 3)?
am i making any sense?
i would be most grateful for any suggestions.
thank you all.

You set a tempo in your DAW (Studio One), and when you enable Follow Host in Superior Drummer 3 it will follow that tempo. E.g., you can’t set a tempo in SD3 and make Studio One follow that tempo.
The original tempo of the MIDI files in Grooves is just the tempo that the MIDI files was recorded in. You can still use a MIDI file recorded in 196 in your 120 BPM project – this is one of the strengths of MIDI! However, sometimes a MIDI file that has been recorded in a tempo that’s too far away from your project, the quantisation of the file may make it sound bad. In that case you can always quantise the MIDI in the grid editor, to make it “tighter”. But if the MIDI you hear sound good, the original tempo doesn’t matter!
Does this clarify things for you?
