Extreme BPM differences
OtsAV has Tempo sliders that range from stationary (-100%) to double speed (+100%). The ABM feature is capable of beat mixing any two songs (with Active Beat Info) that fall within this range, during an automated beat mix.
For example, Song A is playing at 130 BPM. A song with a BPM as low as 65 can be beat mixed into Song A.
Conversely, if Song A is playing at 65 BPM, a song with a BPM of 130 can be mixed into Song A.
If you are playing a song at 130 BPM, and the next song in your playlist has a BPM of 60, OtsAV will ignore the Beat Info, and perform standard ACI (radio-style) mixing between the two songs.
