Hi!
I use Cakewalk Sonar Professional/Cakewalk by Bandlab. The project has all tempo changes in the time line.
In Superior Drummer I have the drum midi with no tempo changes. When I press space or click play in my project (in the DAW), Superior Drummer follows the host and the tempo changes. However, I do not see the project when in grid editor…so I cannot click anywhere in my project to start playback from there. I have to minimize SD3, click play, then restore SD3 again…
When I click play in Superior Drummer, I only get SD3’s playback (good) and can jump to all time stamps where I want to check or edit something, BUT I get 120 BPM all the time regardless of follow host on or off.
How can I navigate my midi in SD3’s grid editor and get the correct BPM when pressing play in the grid editor?

You must put all of the same time changes in your DAW session in SD3 as well. Check the Track Menu in SD3 or right click on the timeline/ruler to get started.

I just never put the midi in sd3. I always have it in the DAW. I do have Cubase though which has a great drum editor.

That’s the way I always work as it saves me from having issues like the OP. You never want to have the mIDI in 2 places as you can never be sure what’s what.

The drum midi is only within SD3 and not in the DAW. There are certain issues with exporting midi from Guitar Pro…it changes the volume randomly…so I don’t use the midi in the DAW, then assign it to SD3, but load the midi in SD3 itself…same for EZ Bass.

There’s nothing wrong with your workflow. I mainly put my MIDI in Superior Drummer not only because I think the drum editing tools are great, but because I can take the project with me outside of my DAW.
Just do what Shootie advised and you should be good.
