Blue Cat Late Replies

Blue Cat’s Late Replies is an innovative delay, reverb, and multi-effects workstation designed to provide virtually unlimited creative possibilities. It not only features a powerful delay engine but also the ability to host third-party VST, VST3, or AU plug-ins within its signal path.

The plugin is built around a unique architecture that includes an 8-tap pattern module and two nested feedback loops. Both of these sections contain slots where built-in or external effects can be applied, giving users full control to sculpt and manipulate sound beyond traditional delay effects. In addition to hosting third-party plug-ins, Blue Cat’s Late Replies includes 29 built-in effects, such as modulation, EQ, filters, dynamics processors, pitch shifting, and more.

This delay workstation goes further with integrated features like a side-chain input for ducking, allowing for easy control over delay and reverb levels based on external audio sources. Delivered with hundreds of presets, the plugin is versatile enough to handle everything from classic delays and reverbs to futuristic sound design, rhythmic patterns, and even sci-fi-inspired effects.

For those who prefer simplicity, the plugin offers an “easy mode” interface for quick browsing and preset adjustments. Power users can unlock the “full edit” mode, providing complete control over every element in the signal chain to create fully customized audio effects. Additionally, Blue Cat’s Late Replies adheres to Blue Cat Audio’s high standards with full MIDI control, low CPU usage when idle, and a fully customizable user interface.
