The dual delay lines provide delay times anywhere from 5ms up to five seconds with host tempo sync and panning. There are controls for: cross feedback, inverting phase, ping pong modes, and pitch/time stretch effects just like old-school tape recorders when changing speeds.
Seemingly infinite delay coloring is possible by way of six different multimode filters that are the familiar color-coded nodes (with drop-down menus of details) you can drag into position just as in FabFilter ProQ3 and all their plugins. The real fun starts with modulating nearly any plugin parameter using host synched modulation sources such as: XLFO--a way to create custom waveform shapes; then there is an ADSR envelope generator and envelope follower triggered by MIDI or audio; incoming MIDI data also can be used; plus X/Y controller data (mouse) inputs.
Unique to Timeless3 are the five single-knob feedback path effects. There are analog-modeled saturation, digital-distortion with the Drive and Lo-Fi controls; the Diffuse knob will soften/smear the delays with a reverb-like effect; compress or gate using the Dynamics control; and there is the Pitch control--a way to shift feedback pitch up/down by up to an octave.
I liked that the delay taps are easily programmed to output left or right--this is very visual in the GUI. Modulated parameters are also easy to see what's going on too with "trails" flowing from modulation sources and going to modulation targets. Like all Fab Filter plugins, this is a beautiful and compelling processor to look and use! Anything you can do with delay is possible with Timeless3
Super highly recommended!
FabFilter Timeless3 sells for $129 for Macs and PCs.
