I've been having this problem recently where the re-pitch warp mode "auto tunes" my audio.
I'm trying to make a song where there's a tempo change. it goes gradually over a couple of bars and I want it to have that tape stop effect.
however when I use re-pitch mode the pitch doesn't go down smoothly when changing to a slower tempo but kinda jumps weirdly in semitones.

is there a way I can change this?

I tried other couple solutions for the same effect but:
- a frequency or a formant shifter would colour the sound differently.
-stretching the audio without changing the tempo can be tricky and it makes working on a grid after the tempo change impossible.

would appreciate any help

thanks
