Post Description

Blue Cat's Late Replies is a powerful delay 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 25 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...

•The GUI can now be zoomed from 70% to 200%.
•Input and output effects strips can now be locked.
•Last loaded preset is now remembered in session and displayed in the presets menu.
•Plug-in state can now be reverted to the last loaded preset.
•Default preset now also saves the state of locks (when using "save as user default").

•Faster GUI loading / instantaneous GUI display after it has been opened once.
•Limiter on/off state is now independent from presets ("always locked").
•New option to keep plug-ins windows always on top.

•Fixed: bypass buttons are now in sync with the hosted plug-ins' state.
•Mac: fixed presets directory not properly created for built-in plug-ins, breaking the save preset feature.
•Win: fixed copy/paste that sometimes stopped working until next app restart.

nJoy!
