Topic: Saving slowed down file...

I am a new pianoteq user.  I recorded a piece, played  a bit quickly.  It sounds better played at 0.85X speed, which can be done within pianoteq.  My question is how do I export this file in the slowed down format?

If you want to export the audio, simply set speed to 0.85 it will record it slower. If it is the MIDI file, then you have to edit it yourself.

I'm referring to where I saved it already.  Then during playback I recognized that it sounds better slowed down 15%.  Seems like pianoteq can do that while keeping the tones perfect, so I was hoping that I could export it slowed down.

I just open the MIDI file in Pianoteq, change the speed and then export to audio.

(tested this in case something changed in ver. 7)

If I performed at a much different speed, I'd make different choices in pedaling and note lengths - so at times when the speed change becomes odd to my ears, I'd consider re-performing it.

Lots of improvs, I'll never be able to re-play! (too "what on earth did I do there" and no time to dissect - so, in those cases, I'd take the MIDI into a DAW (I like Studio One, Ableton - or Reaper seems popular with forum members) and zoom in on little details to correct small things or stretch individual notes or other things to taste.
