Warp I understand not working (mode overrides that setting bigtime I suspect in the programming, no functionally different than my analog delay with a warp).
The hold is just CPU limitation and pricepoint.
TimeBender's hold gets slow/sped based on the setting it's in by default (ie if it's in the "Tape 2" mode which is multihead/Space Echo it speeds up, slows down but with a slight ramp to that to simulate the motor change speed, if it's in "Tape 1" which is "moveablehead/Echoplex" it's more abrupt wackery). Use it for that all the time.
Older digidelays with hold vary on what you can do with the hold features too - some are non-destructive for speed changes (ie speed up/slow down is just the sample played at different speeds) whereas others will start chopping and mangling the sample in unholy ways. Both are useful.
