Although we’ll look at modulation last, keep in mind that everything, from delay rate to filter behavior to dry/wet levels can be modulated in a great many ways. All continuous controls in all sections can be modulation targets. The backend is a simple stereo mix/pan output section. The middle section consists of two stereo filters. At the front we have two independent mono delay lines. We can partition Timeless’s functionality into the following areas. Timeless is also included in several bundles, and the bundles do get discounted in sales from time to time. FabFilter rarely puts individual plug-ins on sale, but customers are given progressive discounts that get deeper as more items are purchased.

Timeless 2 (hereafter we’ll drop the “2” in the name) is available in formats compatible with all mainstream DAWs for both PC and Mac and offers both 32 and 64-bit compatibility. But as you’ll see, there’s rather more there than just that.īefore diving in, let’s dispense with the essentials. So, that’s a big part of this story, and, although old, Timeless 2 would still be a major delay contender if modulation excellence was the only thing it had going for it. And because FabFilter’s emphasis this last decade has been on mixing tools, it’s easy to forget just how well-designed, inspired and forward-thinking the modulation capabilities in FabFilter creative FX are. One distinction between creative FX and mixing tools is the prevalence of modulation capability in the former which is not something generally found in the latter. That one exception is Saturn, a saturation/distortion tool that somewhat straddles the mixing/creative designation. Since that time, with one exception, they have turned their attention to mixing tools – bread-and-butter applications like EQ, compression, etc. But can something that old still be called a “goodie”? Spoiler alert: it certainly can.įabFilter began its life offering an early synth and two significant creative FX modules (Volcano, a filter effect, was the other one besides Timeless). An enhanced version, Timeless 2, followed three years later. One of those was a delay called Timeless which was released around 2006. Its earliest products included a synth and several creative effects. Since that time it has earned a reputation as one of the top plug-in developers for sound quality, deep functionality and top-notch user interface design.

It's available now, and there's a free 30-day trial available from the FabFilter website.Can a delay plug-in first introduced well over a decade ago still compete with far newer ones? If yes, it could legitimately be called “timeless”.įabFilter released its first product in 2002.

Timeless 3 requires a VST, AU, AudioSuite or AAX host, and costs £94. Timeless 3 ships with an all-new preset library, which FabFilter say has been built up especially to take advantage of the new features, but the plug-in is still compatible with presets for earlier versions, so you should be able to use it in place of Timeless v1 and v2 in your projects without any sonic surprises.

Each effect is available as a modulation destination too, so you can control them using Timeless' LFOs, envelope followers, X/Y controllers, or good old-fashioned MIDI CC.

Here, you can apply up to five different effects (Drive, Lo-Fi, Diffuse, Dynamics, Pitch) to the feedback path, for progressively grittier, dirtier, 'reverb-ified', squashed or pitch-shifted delays, with each effect being governed by a single 'more or less' knob. You can now invoke up to 16 individual delay taps, and these are represented in the display as vertical lines showing their amplitude, panning and delay time.

Timeless 3 boasts all the features we raved about in our April 2010 review, but it gains a number of useful extras, plus a streamlined user interface. Then, it was on version 2, and its developers have just given it a major overhaul, to version 3. We last looked at FabFilter's Timeless delay plug-in an astonishing 11 years ago.
