Fab Filter Timeless 3
> The innovating Dutch plugin developers are back with another upgrade to one of their range, and this time it’s the out-of-favour Timeless delay that gets to go up a version number.
Version 2 of Timeless was something of a hit back at the time of its first release, but, alas, its knob-heavy interface has been starting to make it look and feel a little bit dated as the years have gone on.
Timeless 3 completely re-imagines the concept, putting the easy Delay (time) control front and centre, with its outer ring determining the delay time difference between the left and right channels, should you want it to.
Meanwhile, a nearby Cross slider determines the extent to which each channel should feed back into itself or the other.
There’s a lot more to it too, of course. With feedback path effects, easy visualisation of delay timing, mid/side stereo mode, and some out-of-this-world modulation options, Timeless 3 goes further than most delay plugins while still remaining accessible to casual users.
