I don't understand what PGM is talking about with changing a recorded legato song to a fixed tempo. Legato has nothing to do with tempo, it merely means "smooth." Are they talking about "rubato" which literally means "robbed" and is where the performer plays a bit faster and a bit slower at times so the tempo varies? If so, they should use the correct term. It's possible to have varied tempos in a staccato song, as long as it's played rubato. Will that new feature not work on staccato songs which are played at an uneven tempo?

My take on what PG Music is meaning is that unless a musician is playing with a click track or metronome, it's more than likely that the recording will be give and take in the tempo department and not kept strictly to time. It's not really rubato nor ad lib as both of those are much more obvious than small tempo variations that can result in some performances.

It's in this sense that timing can be unified using this new addition to BIAB.
