How to work backward after selecting a groove

[Nicholas DiFabbio]

SD3
I have no filters selected and have found a groove that works for most of a piece.
How do I find similar grooves/fills that will work with it.
If no filters are selected what does the program default to.
Also there are large volume differences among grooves/fills.
I’ve selected a rolling train snare groove and when auditioning other grooves, they all seem to blast in quite loud. If I add them to the track I have to go in and adjust velocities usually down.
Thanks

Train beat probably played medium velocity with feel.
You can also manually adjust a midifile velocity down or up with the velocity knob before drag/dropping it. Usually not too much on the up as ghost notes start to be un cool.
You can do this to the same file at different velocities creating dynamics between sections even if the same file.
I understand this is slightly different to what you may be looking for but its a fast way to overcome the problem you are having.

Right click the groove you like and either use with Song Creator, to get suggestions on verses, choruses etc., or use with Tap2Find – to find similar sounding grooves.

When no filters are used, the files have an internal priority order, where we have sorted them so that basic, standard grooves ends up in the top of the list. You can actually turn off the internal priority order in the Grooves menu, but most users will want to have that enabled.
