Just downloaded the demo and went through some presets on a guitar track.

Pretty impressive sound quality, and I could see hours flying by with this tool once I got the hang of all it can do. What an immensely powerful set of features, it's actually a bit dizzying.

I'm wavering between impressed and intimidated.

Weird timing that i just signed up for their mailing list a couple days ago and then this gets released.

Really been enjoying Destructor for guitar and bass eq shaping and distortion. Even for a n00b like myself, Blue Cat has a user-friendly, yet off-the-beaten path and interesting approach to their products.

Thanks for mentioning our new plug-in!

For the record, here is the full press release (with a few additional comments):

Blue Cat Audio has released Blue Cat's Late Replies, a new creative delay and multi effects plug-in also capable of hosting third party plug-ins anywhere in its signal path (yes, even in the feedback loops!).

Designed as an hybrid multi-tap and feedback delay plug-in, combined with a multi effect and a VST, VST3 and Audio Units host, this plug-in can be used to create a wide variety of audio effects: classic echoes, rhythmic or melodic patterns, vintage tape or digital delays, modulation effects, reverbs, shimmer effects and more... It includes more than 400 presets to get started.

Blue Cat's Late Replies can be extended indefinitely, applying built-in or third party effects to individual taps, or inside the two nested feedback loops. With its integrated ducker with side chain support, stereo spread control and integrated mixer, it offers total control over the delayed signals.

The plug-in is available for purchase today with 25% off until September 17th. Existing customers are granted an extra 15% discount during the introduction period (offer sent by email). Demo versions of the plug-in can be found on bluecataudio.com, as well as video examples.

Main Features:
- powerful delay with built-in effects and third party plug-ins support.
- 8 taps pattern section with integrated mixer and plug-ins slots.
- 2 feedback loops with crossfeed and plug-ins slots.
- 25 built-in effects: EQ, filters, pitch & frequency shifter, delays, modulation effects, compressor, gate, bit crusher, wave shaper and more.
- Supports third party VST, VST3 and Audio Unit plug-ins, with latency compensation.
- Tempo/Host Synchronization.
- Global stereo spread control.
- Several hundreds of fully editable presets.
- Integrated ducking, with internal and external side chain.
- Comprehensive visual feedback with detailed impulse response display.
- Protect your ears with the included feedback and output brickwall limiters.
- No latency.

System requirements:
- Intel Mac running Mac OS 10.7 or newer.
- PC running Windows Vista or newer.
- A VST, VST3, AAX or Audio Unit compatible host application.

This time we are proud to produce late replies!

And you can also add effects in the feedback loops, which is even more fun...

You can indeed spend a lot of time tweaking if you need to, but it can actually be pretty fast to setup in most cases: as you can see in the video below, there are presets at multiple levels, so you can reuse your favorite settings independently for each tap, each loop, the pattern or loops sequences etc. You can already achieve a lot of things with just the factory presets, with just a few clicks.

Too bad we did not see it earlier!

Actually, this plug-in has actually been in the works for a while!

It works pretty well on guitars, indeed. Have you watched our guitar videos? There are a couple of them in the youtube playlist, using Blue Cat's Destructor and Late Replies.

Maybe another reason why we called it "Late Replies"

It's really worth looking at YouTube videos for this one. It's really very cleverly laid out and intuitve for a plug-in that offers so much complexity.

Wow this look awesome

Checking the videos right now!

Watched all the Youtube tutorials last eve. I really hope this becomes Blue Cat's "Serum", meaning I hope this plugin launches Blut Cat into a household (studio-hold) name. They deserve it.
The moment I can buy this without my wife detecting any funds activity, it's done. Hoping this ends up on Sweetwater, as I can purchase it way under the radar...HA!

Simply Brilliant.

Cannot get Ableton Live to recognize the demo Plugin. Have rebooted and rescanned my plugin folder but nothing appears ( Windows 10). Any ideas?

Blue Cat Audio · Post by **Blue Cat Audio** » Sat Aug 26, 2017 3:03 pm

Which version of the plug-in have you installed? Also are you using the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Live? (you need to install the 64 or 32-bit VST version of the plug-in, depending on your version of Live).

Looks really interesting as a go-to delay unit. The usual problem is that I (and many like me) already have a lot of delays already, but this looks/sounds really good. Those YT video's are enjoyable to watch. Makes me thinking about selling off a few delays and get this one

Nice intro price as well

Yes, I don't think any of us need yet another plugin. What I love about this, is that I can get more out of what I already have. This, and a few other Blue Cat plugins encourage "wonder what would happen if I....?" type of exploration.

I got the funds released (hehe) and purchasing right now. Yay!
