I've just started using Max and am following the tutorial projects. I am on "Explore time-stretching and compression", and it wants me to add several attributes to my sfplay object.

What is causing this and how can I resolve it?

I guess it is not really a headline top information in sfplay help file or reference, but you need to enable timestretching mode first, to be able to use time stretching and pitch shifting functions.
