I've experienced the same slowing effect I mentioned before in this

Have you ever trying playing with a delay AND an uncomfortably high
latency?
Since you're playing with a delay, you're effectively playing against
yourself
from a couple 100ms ago. If you play when you hear yourself, but there's
an
effective latency on that note trigger, it will compound that latency,
and
you'll drift towards a slower tempo as you play.
It's so weird when I feel myself do it, but it's awfully hard to control
(I
don't have mates to play music with... I play a lot with a delay/looper).
One of the worst examples of this I've heard of was pipe organs in a
very large church. The organist console sits at the opposite end of the
church from the pipes, perhaps 100 feet away from some pipes, leading to
extremely large delays. I read one account where low notes had a 300ms
delay from pressing the pedal.

Yeh - I had a friend who restored and played theatre organs. He said you had
to play to the sheet music and completely ignore the sound.
