They can also modulate each other or, in the case of the slider and XY controls, act as overall manual controls for various effects, such as the amount of ducking the wet signal receives in relation to the input, fully customizable wow and flutter effects adjustment ( and removable so we forget we're using a tape delay simulation!)įinally, there is an influence on the feedback signal path two distortions, Drive e Lo-Fi, wash and pitch effect. These can be manually wired to their destination (s) and their effect range set.

Likewise, the Feedback and Wet controls are flanked by additional parameters, cross mix and phase rotation of the L / R channel for the former and amplitude and stereo mix for the latter.Īs for the modulation section, a lifetime will probably not be enough to exploit it in all its features, in fact you can set up to 50 (50 !!!) Different types of modulation starting from LFO, slider and XY controls, envelope, envelope generator and MIDI. Personally I found this much more intuitive than following the percentages on the various controls.Īround the Delay knob, we find four icons that will manage the Delay Freeze, ping-pong, time and the last button that goes to manage the mode ReadMode, that is, it allows you to choose, as the tempo changes, a change of intonation in tape style, or choose the classic “digital” mode, where the pitch remains constant. The inside adjusts the Delay Offset, for the delay control, the feedback percentage for the feedback control and the level of the Wet signal as regards the last parameter, while the external controls manage respectively the panning of the delay, the panning as regards the feedback and the panning for wet control.Īs you change these parameters, the tap lines at the top of the interface change position and length to reflect the effect of the changes. The three main controls, namely Delay, Feedback e Wet are clearly visible on the screen and like many other Fab Filter plugins have this concentric circle that allows you to have, therefore, a double function. In bottom of the screen we find the various controls for the time of delay, feedback, dry\ wet, mix and to follow the various effects of modulation e smart filters that you can add or delete as you wish from the screen as well. As for the filter part of the feedback it's totally manageable, there are well 6 equalization points (!) and is equipped with spectrum analyzer, moreover this section guarantees the navigation in the manual in order to become more familiar with the program, which obviously goes far beyond the simple imitation of those that were the old belt machines.
For each tap it is possible to adjust feedback, panning, levels, but for a more immediate management there are factory patterns that are already very useful in themselves.
We also have a second tap view mode, which is the classic one of many other plugins. The representation of the tap delay is equipped with an animation that allows us to view the actual trend of the tap, so much so that by moving the bar back and forth within the various divisions, we change the offset of the delay, while vertically we will go to act on the feedback. The interface of the Timeless 3 has been completely redesigned, in the upper part we find in the first half of the screen the tap of the delay, while on the right side we find the feedback filter. In fact we are, yes, in front of an excellent one tape echo, but perhaps this is the least characteristic part of this software, which instead contains within it the possibility of infinite customization, through filters and modulations, easily passing from being used in slapback mode to bring a voice a little more “in the face”, to creating really pleasant shimmer effects for the guitar. We are talking about the Timeless 3, defined by the same manufacturer as “a versatile tape delay with a vintage sound, which will fully satisfy your daily delay needs”. Fab Filter introduced a new totally revised version of the already available Timeless a few months ago.
