Cakewalk sonar X3 Midi Tempo Detection? (not audio)

Hi,
 
Cubase 8 has a thing called Midi Tempo Detection in it that has just been released. Basically I can play piano and record the midi notes and then Cubase will find the tempo across what I have played and create a tempo track for it. So if I slow down whilst playing the tempo track will slow down etc etc.
 
Is there away to do this within cakewalk?
 
Kind Regards
Joe

    Hi,
     
    So I have been looking around and found the "Process > Fit To Improvisation" this appears to do it to a degree but its very temperamental. I don't quite understand how it works I can't seem to just record something I play and then run "Fit To Improvisation" I seem to need to edit the midi file before it will do it which is ideal.
     
    Can anyone advise please?
     
    Kind Regards

    Fit Improvisation needs a sacrificial guide track that has one and only one MIDI event on every quarter-note beat. This track can be created from a copy of your recording, but it does take some time to do that, and can be problematic if the recording doesn't have an event on every beat. There's also a 3rd-party app that a forum member wrote that does essentially the same thing, but allows using smaller beat divisions:

    Another option is to render the MIDI to Audio using a patch with a nice fast attack and decay (or even a drum synth), and use Audiosnap to Set Project From Clip.
     
    Or - my preference - use Set measure/Beat At Now to do it manually, setting as many or as few points as necessary to align the timeline to the performance.

    Hi,
     
    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that link you've sent me the download link website no longer exists. I will have to try bouncing it to audio and see what happens :)
     
    Kind Regards
