About FabFilter Timeless 3
The Timeless 3 app filters the microphone input and plays it back in real-time. To use Timeless 3 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. Timeless 3 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app.
Key features:
- Fully redesigned, highly simplified interface, with an easy workflow and new modulation engine
- Dual delay lines (5 ms to 5 sec) with host tempo sync and panning
- Tape delay or time-stretching behavior when changing the delay time
- Feedback, cross-feedback, phase inversion and ping-pong mode
- Up to six analog-style multimode filters with filter panning
- Interactive delay and filter displays simplify operation by enabling direct editing of delay times, feedback, filter frequencies, panning and more
- Create rhythmic patterns using up to 16 delay taps, which can be controlled and modulated individually
- Delay freeze with modulation
- Drive, Lo-Fi, Diffuse, Dynamics and Pitch effects for processing the feedback circuit
- Endless modulation options, with all the 16-step XLFOs, XY controllers/sliders, envelope generators, envelope followers, and MIDI sources you will ever need
- Easy drag-and-drop modulation with 50-slot modulation matrix
- Live modulation visualization for targets and sources
- Curve control in EGs and transient detection in EFs
- Carefully designed and curated factory presets, plus the ability to save your own presets
- Mid/side processing
- External side-chain triggering
- Optional MIDI triggering
- Undo/redo and A/B comparison
"If there's a delay-shaped hole in your plug-in folder, then you should find that Timeless is a perfect fit. Verdict: 10/10"
— Computer Music
"Timeless isn't 'just' a delay plug-in, it's a versatile sound design toolbox built to give any producer a fresh, time/pitch-shifting angle on delay, phasing, chorus, filtering and even reverb."

Not sure why I hesitated for soooo long!?
Not sure why I hesitated for soooo long!? Maybe cost? Maybe bc I have 23 other delay plugins?! However I now wish I would have gotten sooner! Great sound! I cannot stand some reverbs, delays, and flanger/phasers bc of the digital harsh cold sound that a lot of these plugins produce! But this sounds WARM, that odd sizzle that comes from a lot of digital plugins is NOT A PART OF THIS SOUND!!! Love the sound that this thing! Love the looks, love the way it feels in the mix, love the user interface! Much Love! One thing I hate is there is separate apps for Mac/iPad and none for iPhone! I like to take my daw Cubasis and listen to the mix while I commute in my car. I find it’s the BEST place to listen as a listener not an engineer!!! But I cannot with Fabfilters apps bc there are NO iPhone compatible Fabfilter apps!!

Ah, finally. Been looking forward to this for years. And on iOS too! You won’t find a better sounding plug-in out there. Excellent for basics, even more excellent for wild experimentation. Took a couple days to adjust to the new GUI, but this and Saturn 2 are some fine-looking and great sounding plugs. Just get the good stuff from the start since it’s now available. No reason to end up buying 7 $4 delays and still not being satisfied.
