How is a MIDI file tempo determined?

How is a MIDI file tempo determined?
DragDrop example
1) Project bpm = 200
2) bounce midi to clip> drag it from Cbb to Desktop
3) Play in default windows Media Player and WTF just happened to the tempo? It's slow and completely ignored the Cakewalk Project tempo.

Export midi works as expected.
...i know this is covered somewhere and i swear i tried to find  it before posting!

I would guess clip data is all you get when dragging a clip out of project. Same with audio. Not even the instrument is known. Exporting is needed to include "project" data including tempo.

Have you tried to bounce to "Groove Clip" and then export & play?

If I  create a MIDI groove clip and save it (drag-n-drop) into my 'MIDI clip library' (which is just a directory in Win Explorer) and then preview it from the media browser in CbB WITHOUT having "preview at project tempo" checked, it will play at original speed. Does exactly the same thing in a media player from desktop.

If the bounce plays as expected in CbB try copying the bounced track directly from the audio folder and paste to the Desktop, that always works for me...
