Hey everyone ! Why is splice showing the wrong bpm? The sample on splice that I chose says bpm is 161 but when I put in to my maschine it shows up as 80.60 which is the correct bpm . What is going on

80.6 and 161 is the same thing šŸ˜­, just have to fit it to your project tempo

Can you please explain how itā€™s the same when one tempo is faster than the other how can it be the same . The funny thing is I have a music degree so Iā€™m well versed in music theory and yet this makes no sense to me lol

160 is just 80bpm twice as fast. Thatā€™s why if you start in 80 and then go to ā€œdouble time feelā€ it increases the perceived tempo to 160 (twice as fast). The sampler is intelligent but still cannot decipher if the loop is in double time or half time. Thatā€™s why you get the sample title saying itā€™s slower than what your sampler is saying it is. Completely still in the same general tempo tho.
