SooperLooper also has continuous rate-shifting, for
playback/record/overdub.  You can bind to a CC for continuous, or
clamp the bindings to single values for jumping to a specific rate.
Right now it does not have a quantize to semitone for the rate
(although it could and should).  SL also has a pitch shift (not
changing speed) which can be quantized to semitones.... quality is
just OK and it is a CPU hog.  While we're at it, it also has
timestretch, same caveats as pitch.
