Quick start:

The default block size (3000) is really high to prevent CPU glitches -
500 to 1000 is a better range.
500 to 1000 is a better range. Larger wav files like whole tracks can
be used, but take a long time to process, after which they can be
saved as "brain" files and instantly reloaded.

As this is experimental non-commercial software (only originally
written to run on a couple of computers!) you will have to bear with
us as we gradually stabilise things based on your feedback. There
might currently be problems running it on 64bit Windows.
