Free Copicat Emulation

It's been less than a month since Wavesfactory's Echo Cat was released and now we bring you news of another Copicat emulation. GSi tells us that their new GSi VariSpeed plug-in is a simulation of the WEM Copicat IC-400 Belt Drive VariSpeed model, the first tape echo machine made by WEM with a DC capstan motor capable of changing speed, thus varying the delay time.

A spokesperson told us, "GSi VariSpeed replicates the hardware instrument 'as is' with all its pros and cons, without any additional feature except the fact that it is digital and MIDI-controllable. This can be considered as the second chapter of a tribute to the genius of Mr. Charlie Watkins that GSi began back in 2008 with the release of the freeware WatKat, which was a simulation of the Custom Copicat."
