Paris - Blue Cat Audio released a free update for Blue Cat's Late Replies, its creative delay, and multi-effects plug-in also capable of hosting third-party plug-ins anywhere in the signal path.
This new version brings many graphical user interface enhancements such as full GUI zoom; new presets management features and major performance improvements. It also fixes a couple of issues on both Mac and Windows (full change list below). It is a recommended free update for all existing users, available from the same location as the original full version (link received by email upon purchase).
For new customers, the plug-in is available for purchase for 99 EUR/USD instead of 129 until April 20th. Demo versions of the plug-in can be found on bluecataudio.com, as well as video examples.
What's New:
- 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").
- Major presets loading improvements: hosted plug-ins are now reloaded only when changed, and updated otherwise. Improves performance and audio rendering when loading presets using the same plug-ins.
- Faster GUI loading / instantaneous GUI display after it has been opened once.
- Limiter on/off state is now independent of presets ("always locked").
- New option to keep plug-ins windows always on top.
- Performance and memory usage improvements.
- Improved Pitch Shifter built-in plug-in (fixed aliasing artifacts and added new modes).
- VST3: factory presets are not exposed to the host application anymore.
- Fixed minor compatibility issues with Mac OS High Sierra.
- Fixed: changing bypass in the Audio Unit version did not update host application's bypass state.
- 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.
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.
