i used to use the <AKAI riff-o-matic U40> Variable Tempo/Constant Pitch
Phrase Recorder. that thing rocked as far as slowin down riffs and keeping
the pitch constant-using the 'playbacktempo'-normal-2/3-1/2 you could
clearlee hear the riff at a much slower speed in order to replicate
same...also loved the 'note grabber' that just let you uhh....grab a
note!(duhh)...worked good for me-ymmv
