Late Replies - Blue Cat

More than just a delay plugin, late replies is capable of much more. Hosting of it's own and third party plugins takes this to completely another level. With its excellent reverb effects , looping echoes and feedback controls ( not to mention the ducking feature) there's plenty of scope here for sound designers  which all sounds just fantastic! It can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be! The presets are really excellent and the use of locks is great!

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.

Go2 - Rob Papen

Go2 is primarily aimed at being a beginners synth which is easier to programme with a more simplistic layout . The features of which are all layed out in front of you with no sub menus.Go2 is certainly not simplistic though as under the surface Go2 can create some very complex patches which goes far beyond the only one oscillator setting. Highlights are its morphing ability and a great sequencer/arp section which incorpoarates chords. Not as analogue sounding as say Diva , Blue or Zebra but still really good overall and well worth auditioning!

In the Rob Papen world of synthesis there was one type of synthesizer missing…
A synthesizer that has all of the controls and features available visually all at once.

The current Rob Papen collection holds synthesizers which contain many features and types of synthesis which sometimes can be daunting to the average user.
But there is always something tempting and fun in something that is so simple!

Look at the 1980's, in which we had top synthesizers like the Roland Jupiter-8, but also at the other end of the spectrum the simpler but fantastic synths like the SH-101. And yes, both became classic synthesizers.
Compare it also whilst making music, very often less is more and this is also can be applied whilst using synthesizers. Sure, with a heavily featured synthesizer, you can also be less complex in a patch. But this often still takes more time to achieve.

And yes, Go2 has all of the controls visual at the same time but still has some unique features and sound for sure… which makes sure that it will boldly go to where no other synth in this category went before.
