Blue Cat Audio Blue Cat Late Replies

Blue Cat's Late Replies is a powerful delay, reverb and multi effects plug-in that can be indefinitely extended by hosting third party VST, VST3 or AU plug-ins anywhere in the signal path.

With its unique topology, the plug-in is a full-featured delay machine with unlimited powers: both the 8 taps pattern module and the two nested feedback loops include plug-in slots that can host built-in effects or third party plug-ins.

So it's not just about delays! The plug-in includes 29 built-in effects to further manipulate the delay lines: modulation effects, EQ and filters, dynamics processors, pitch and frequency shifters, wave shaper...

With the integrated ducker and its side chain input, ducking delays or reverbs has never been so easy.

Blue Cat's Late Replies is delivered with hundreds of presets producing many kinds of audio effects: classic delays, rhythmic or melodic patterns, reverbs, vintage echoes, shimmer effects, sci-fi sounds... Browse and edit them quickly with only a few parameters in "easy mode", or expand the user interface to "full edit" mode to create your own creative delays, reverbs and effects, with complete control over the entire signal chain.

V1.65

• Plug-ins oversampling: it is now possible to oversample processing for every plug-in (up to 16x).
• Custom Colors: Each individual plug-in instance can now be assigned a custom color.
• Updated hundreds of factory presets and all built-in plug-ins with custom colors.
• Late Replies can now use its own parameters in macros, mixed together with loaded plug-ins parameters.
• Macro Parameters & params assignments can now be saved and copied/pasted.
• Drag and drop macro parameters to change order / insert / copy.
• The "Remove" command now removes the selected macro parameter instead of the last one in the list.
• Added pre-delay macros to some reverb presets.
• Graphical user interface refresh performance improvements, especially on Mac.
• Fixed custom tone maps presets not properly saved for some built-in plug-ins (Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Sweep Filter, Wave Shaper, Freq Shifter, Wah, EQ).
• Fixed plug-in slot menu issues when loading plug-ins with more than 22380 parameters on Windows.
• Updated parameters layout for GUI-less plug-ins to accomodate plug-ins with multiple parameters.
• GUI-less plug-ins generic editor now follows Late Replies's zoom level.
• Fixed a crash when opening the editor of a VST2 GUI-less plug-in that uses non-unicode encoding in its parameters (piz-midi plug-ins).
• Fixed delay ramping up when first unbypassed after being loaded from bypass state.
• LEARN mode is now disabled automatically when the Params Map Editor is closed.
• AAX plug-in now reports the recording status to hosted plug-ins (in recent versions of Pro Tools that support it).
