About FabFilter Timeless

Welcome to the wobbly world of one of the most versatile delay plugins: Fabfilter Timeless. At its heart there are two independent, programmable delay lines. The addition of a high quality filter section and the modulation options of the parameters will get you time-warped in a totally new way. A panning option also adds movement to stereo effects.
All these controls provide an almost unbelievable array of sound manipulation possibilities, ranging from simple repeat echo to genuinely original sounds that you wouldn't expect from a delay plugin.

Main features:

• 2 Delay lines
  The two independent delay lines produce a specific desired delay in the transmission of the sound. Timeless offers two different ways of delaying the signal: tape and stretch. Tape means that a change in delay time will cause a change in pitch of the delayed sound. This is the way classic tape delays worked. We added a new way that would be impossible in the analog domain: stretch. In this case, there will be no change in pitch when you change delay times.
• Multimode filters
  Two independent multimode filters provide low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass responses with 12, 24 and 48 dB/octave slopes. Both filters feature six different high-quality filter characteristics that define the unique sound and overdrive of the filter. They range from smooth with moderate overdrive to raw, self-oscillating and over-the-top!
• Modulation sources
  FabFilter Timeless offers velocity, aftertouch, keyboard track, modulation wheel, and pitch bend as general modulation sources and contains two LFOs and an audio/MIDI-triggered envelope generator.The LFOs have adjustable sine, triangle, square, random triangle and sample-and-hold wave forms and can be synchronized to the host beat and tempo and to incoming MIDI events.
• Drag-and-drop modulation slots
  With 24 modulation slots and no shortage of modulation sources and targets, Fabfilter Timeless offers endless modulation options. But one of its best features is undoubtedly the ability to set up modulation connections with drag-and-drop. There is no need to search through long drop-down menus containing dozens of sources and targets or to find your way in cluttered and obscure matrix views. Just drag modulation sources to any target to fill Timeless' modulation slots!
• MIDI learn
  Fabfilter Timeless works with any MIDI keyboard or controller. It is very easy to assign each of Timeless' parameters with any MIDI controller number, just by turning knobs in the user interface and on the external controller.
• Smart parameter interpolation
  Changes to any of Fabfilter Timeless' parameters are interpolated by smart algorithms, ensuring both responsiveness and smooth transitions. There are no unwanted digital clicks and zipper effects, and even MIDI controller changes are handled perfectly smooth.
• Platform-independent presets
  Fabfilter Timeless enables you to create and save your own presets. You can share your settings with other users and the preset files are the same on Windows and Mac OS X.

Fabfilter Timeless is available as RTAS, Audio Units and VST plug-in for Mac OS X (PowerPC and Intel) and as RTAS and VST plugin for Windows.
