Yes, to change the BPM you use the button at the other end of the line where the BPM is given. The slowdown slider does real-time slowdown of the audio output, so everything, the attack, the decay all is slowed down. The quality isn't as good as when not slowed down but it doesn't have the type of distortion in your example. I take it you haven't got the volume too high? I was thinking it may just be a question of raw computing power, but I just tested it on a dual core 1.5GHz Asus laptop under Windows and it worked fine. That machine takes an age to typeset or do anything much. Anyone else tried the slowdown feature? (It's really for people transcribing from audio source - you load the audio and then it's handy to slow it down sometimes as you transcribe). Richard
