[Blue Cat Audio]

Heads up! Blue Cat's Late Replies 1.65 has been released, and it's on sale, check it out!



What's New
- 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).
- Ableton Live 11: Fixed Late Replies's VST3 MIDI input not detected.

Enjoy!

Does Late Replies have a digital mode where changing the Pre-Delay or Time parameters while playing does not alter the pitch?

[Blue Cat Audio]

There is no such digital mode, but if you lower the "Inertia" parameter it should sound less pitchy when changing the delay.

I'm just getting in to LR and realizing how deep it can go.. Is there any way to work it as a looper for generative type effects like the hardware Soma Cosmos

It won't work exactly as a looper, but you can freeze the feedback loops. So if you setup the delay time to a predefined length, it could actually work just like a looper. The loop is however not saved with presets, as opposed to the looper plug-in built into Axiom for example.

Here is an example of the freeze function to loop a chord as a drone (video not public yet):
