TBT Timeline Control

0 ratings

A Max for Live device created to put every midi function of the Strymon Timeline Delay pedal at the user's fingertips!

This device gives allows you to...

Dial in patches without bending over! Control or automate any midi function of the Timeline remotely within Ableton via a single midi cable!
Tweak settings much easier! The powerful secondary functions of all delay algorithms are no longer buried and easy to manipulate!
Understand the pedal more thoroughly! A helpful interface and handy info text descriptions make it easy to figure out what each control does without having to open the pedal's manual!
Use Ableton as a preset manager for your pedal! No more trying to find an old patch, build a tone for a song and save it directly within the project file of that song!
Automate the process of saving presets to multiple pedals at once as well as a midi controller! It's best to watch the videos for this one!
Control your pedal with an Ableton Push 2! Device parameters can be accessed within Push device view! (It may work on Push 1, but I have not done testing on that device)

A BRIEF OVERVIEW
Watch this video if you want understand why I made these plugins and the big picture of how they all work together to make programming a pedalboard easier!

BEFORE YOU BUY
This plugin requires certain equipment to be able to use it! Please watch this short 2min and 22 second video to make sure you have what you need!

AFTER YOU BUY
Even if you are experienced with Max for Live devices, this short video should get you up and running faster as well as give some helpful tips to avoid any headaches.

MORE DETAIL
The following two videos are for those looking to see these plugins in use as well as more detail on how to use them well. These videos are longer and slower paced because I tried to hit every possible little detail and concept. If needed, use the chapter markers as well as the yellow indicators to skip past information not relevant to you.

MIDI CONFIG HELP
To control the Timeline via midi you will need to configure the following global settings (hold Value knob). If you do not see the following settings, you may need to perform a firmware update.

Set the Midi Channel to the desired number 1-16 (lower is better for global push). It should have it's own channel to avoid conflicts.
Turn ON "MIDICT" to allow for Midi CC messaging
Turn ON "MIDIPA" to allow for Midi patch changes
If you are daisy chaining multiple pedals, be sure to set "MIDITH" to "THRU"

Exact BPM Note:
For now, the exact BPM input is limited from 12 to 200bpm. Also, 79, 95 and 97 bpm will not resolve correctly and will need to be set manually. For example, 79 bpm will give 79.1 bpm. This is due to how the pedal resolves bpm values. In contrast, exact MS is only limited by the specific delay algorithm's range. I go over the exact input in more detail in the Build video at the 11:00 mark.
