How to make that sound...

Hopefully I can explain this clearly.

I've got a talking sample that I want to start off normally, but then begin to slow down at a decreasing playback rate, without pitching it.

To be a little more concrete, if the normal playback rate is 1, then it should start at 1, then x seconds later be playing at rate 0.75, x more seconds later at rate 0.5, x more seconds later at rate 0.25 and x more seconds later at rate 0 (i.e. stopped).

I'm not sure if it's possible to do this without pitching the sample and without introducing a severe granularizing effect.

If anyone has any plugin (or otherwise) suggestions, I'd be grateful.

I read that Reason's stretch algorithm is the best sound.

Not sure if it fits that need, but PaulStretch has the best timestretching algorithms out there. Can stretch to 800% and such easily. It's standalone and offline processing, though, but freeware: http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/

Try Logic's poly stretch, a good polyphonic stretch.

What DAW do you use?
