Overview Overview

The Basics

The Basics The Basics

There are a few basic concepts that you’ll have to grasp to use TimeFactor successfully. If you

read nothing else, please read this secti on.

The Effects

The Effects The Effects

There are ten distinct delay types which we call “Effects.” Select an Effect by turning the

Encoder knob. Only one Effect can be active at a time.

Controlling the Effec

Controlling the EffecControlling the Effects

ts ts

Each Effect has parameters that can be modified by turning the ten Control Knobs. The

control knobs allow you to set delay time, feedback, mix levels and adjust other parameters

that change the sound of each Effect. Also, certain aspects of the Effect can be controlled by

the Footswitches.

Using the Footswitches

Using the FootswitchesUsing the Footswitches

The Footswitches can be used in two ways- Play Mode and Bank Mode.

In Play Mode, the Footswitches are used to control certain aspects of the Effects, like Tap

Tempo and Infinite Repeat. In Bank Mode, the Footswitches are used to instantly recall saved

versions of the Effects.

Before we describe the Footswitch modes, we’ll need to define some terms.

TimeFactor User Guide The Basics

The Basics

The Presets

The Presets The Presets

TimeFactor lets you save an Effect after you’ve adjusted the Control Knobs. An Effect along

with a particular setting of its parameters is called a “Preset.” TimeFactor lets you save up to

100 Presets. Instructions on saving Presets are covered later in this User Guide.

The Banks

The Banks The Banks

TimeFactor lets you quickly switch between two Presets. In Bank Mode, just press either the

Left or Middle Footswitch to instantly call up your Preset.

Presets are stored in pairs and each pair of Presets is called a Bank. There are a total of 50

Banks to hold the 100 Presets. The Preset Banks are accessed by tapping the Right Footswitch

in Bank Mode.

If you have updated the TimeFactor from an earlier software release, you may need to

increase the number of banks in the UTILITY menu to make all of the banks visible.

Play and Bank Footsw

To switch between Play and Bank mode press and hold the Right Footswitch for a few

seconds. Notice that the Billboard display changes.

In Play Mode, you’ll see the name of the Effect that’s currently loaded, for example

DigitalDelay [DIGIDLY]. An ORANGE LED located above the Left Footswitch indicates that the

Effect/Preset is Active (not Bypassed).

In Bank Mode, you’ll see a number, a colon, another number, and the preset name. For

example, [1:1 Prist] indicates Preset 1 of Bank 1, named Pristine Digital Delay RED LED over . A

either the Left or Middle Footswitch indicates that an Effect/Preset is Active.

Each time that you press and hold the Right Footswitch, the mode will change from one

mode to the other.

Using Play Mode

Using Play ModeUsing Play Mode

When you’re in Play Mode, the Footswitches are used to control the Effect that’s currently

loaded. For all nine of the Delay Effects, the Left Switch toggles Bypass/Active, the Middle

Switch toggles infinite Repeat On and Off, and the Right Switch lets you tap a Tempo. For the

Looper, the Play Mode Footswitches are used as transport controls, Record, Play and Stop.

Using Bank Mode

Using Bank Mode Using Bank Mode

Go to Bank mode. The Billboard displays the number of the current Preset - for example you

might see [1:1 Prist]. This means that you’re in Bank 1 and that Preset 1, named Pristine

Digital Delay, is loaded. If the Preset is Active (not Bypassed), you’ll also notice that the Left

Footswitch LED is solidly lit. If Preset 2 is currently loaded and Active, the LED above the

Middle Footswitch will be solidly lit.

Try alternately pressing the Left and Middle Footswitches to load the Presets in the active

Bank. The Billboard displays either Preset 1 or Preset 2 from the same Bank and the associated

Footswitch LED lit RED. is

To bypass the currently loaded Preset, press the Footswitch associated with the lit LED. The

LED will turn OFF and the Billboard will briefly display [BYPASS] and then display the Preset #

that’s in Bypass. Press the same switch again to enable the Preset. The Billboard briefly

displays [ACTIVE] to indicate that the Preset is enabled.

Changing Banks

Changing Banks Changing Banks

In Bank Mode, 2 of the Presets are instantly accessible. In order to access the other 98 100

Presets, you’ll have to change Banks. TimeFactor gives you the ability to turn Banks on and

off. This ability is important for performance you can choose to only activate the Banks and –

Presets that you’ll need. TimeFactor ships with all Banks (1- ) Active. 50

Let’s try changing Banks. First, be sure that you’re in Bank mode. Now, tap the Right

Footswitch. As you tap, the display will increment through the Bank numbers from 1 to 50.

When a new Bank is displayed, the Bank is cued and 2 new Presets are ready to go. To load

the new Preset though, you must press one of the other 2 Footswitches. Press the Left Foot-

switch to load Preset 1 from the new Bank or press the Middle Footswitch to load eset 2. Pr

While in Bank Mode, the Encoder knob can also be used to select banks in either direction if

turned within 2 seconds of pressing a bank change footswitch.

TimeFactor Pow

TimeFactor PowTimeFactor Power Up

er Up

er Up er Up

When TimeFactor turns on it remembers what it was last doing and powers up in the same

mode, running the same Effect, with the same parameter values, same tempo, same system

settings, etc. With power off, relays connect TimeFactor’s inputs directly to its outputs.

Twin Delays

Twin Delays Twin Delays

TimeFactor has two inputs and two outputs and gives you the ability to control two delays of

up to 3 seconds each. These two delays are designated as Delay A and Delay B. Depending on

the Effect and your Input/Output connections, the delays may work on independent inputs

and outputs or the delays may be fed from the same input and the delay outputs combined.

While having the ability to use two delays for your effects is a boon to mankind, it can also

make life a bit interesting. When creating your sounds, we recommend setting Dly Mix to

100% Delay A to adjust Delay A’s delay time and feedback first. Then set Dly Mix to 100%

Delay B to adjust Delay B’s delay time and feedback. By adjusting the delays independently,

you’ll be able to clearly hear what each is doing. Once each delay is set the way you like it,

use Dly Mix to mix the delays and, if necessary, tweak the twin delays settings again.

No. When you load an Effect it runs on both channels. Effects can be used as Stereo In/Stereo

Out, Mono In/Stereo Out, Mono In/Mono Out. (Looper is an exception or – it’s Mono

In/Mono Out only.) TimeFactor is smart enough to know what cables are connected and to

automatically route the twin delays for your set up.

TimeFactor is designed to be flexible and can support both instrument and line-level inputs

and outputs. Rear panel toggle switches allow you to independently select input and output

levels. Audio Inputs and Outputs accept standard mono (unbalanced) ¼” phone plugs.

TimeFactor can be connected directly to your guitar, behind another pedal, in your Amp’s

effects loop or to your mixer’s send/return or insert. Given the variety of guitars, effects

pedals, amps and mixers, we can’t describe a ‘best’ setup. The setup should be driven by you

and the sound that you’re going for. That writ, here are some suggestions and typical setups.

Note: It’s best to connect TimeFactor after

The TimeFactor’s output levels can be adjusted to optimize performance in most setups.

It is sometimes desirable to adjust the output level of a given Effect/Preset. For example, an

effect like DuckedDelay may have changes in amplitude and, depending on a given Preset’s

parameter settings, you may find it too quiet or too loud. This is a consequence of the effect

and not a question of level matching to best fit in a setup. For this reason, Output Level

settings can be tweaked and saved with the Preset.

To set Preset Output Level in PLAY Mode, hold down the Left Footswitch for 2 seconds. This

puts the unit into Preset O/P Level Adjust Mode. While the Footswitch is pressed and held,

the display will show “OP 0dB” (default). While continuing to hold the footswitch down, you

can optionally turn the Encoder Knob to adjust Preset Output Level from -20dB to +6dB in

1dB increments. Preset must be saved to store this setting.

from left to right when there is an input signal present. For best signal- -noise performance, to

each input signal peak should go past the bar in the middle. If it does not, it indicates that

the input level is on the low side. In this case, a buffer or preamp should be used to boost

the input level

Input and Output Swell

Input and Output Swell Input and Output Swell

The expression pedal can be used to give a volume swell, either before or after the effect. This

can be enabled either

globally

, meaning it is active all the time, or on a preset by preset basis.

You might want to use it before the effect to disconnect or reduce the input, and listen to the

effect die away, whereas after the effect it can be used as a volume control or to perform

fadeouts. This swell is normally used for expression purposes, and only reduces the volume - it

does not boost it.

You may want to disable any pedal parameter settings if you are using swell. This will be

done automatically if using Global Swell.

To set the Swell value globally, see System Mode. If a Global Swell is active, the option of

selecting it for presets will not be available.

Note that in Pre/Post and Wet/Dry Routing modes, Swell only affects the Wet channel.

Input and Output Swell are not active when the unit is Bypassed, but the unit will adopt the

swe value on leaving Bypass. The Swell values are reset to maximum when a new preset is ll

loaded.

TimeFactor User Guide Bypass

Bypass

Bypass Bypass

It’s important to select the TimeFactor Bypass function that works best with your setup.

TimeFactor gives you the choice of three types of Bypass DSP Bypass, Relay Bypass, and –

DSP+ FX Bypass. TimeFactor’s default Bypass setting is DSP Bypass.

DSP Bypass

DSP Bypass DSP Bypass

TimeFactor’s default is [DSP] Bypass. When set to [DSP] Bypass, bypassing sends the audio at

the DSP’s inputs directly to the outputs without any effects processing. This type of bypassing

works well in most situations.

Relay Bypass/True By

Relay Bypass/True ByRelay Bypass/True Bypass

pass

pass pass

Some guitar players prefer a “true bypass” in which the pedal’s electronics are completely

disconnected from the signal path. When [RELAY] Bypass is selected TimeFactor uses relays to

“hard wire” your inputs to your outputs. (In fact, whenever TimeFactor’s power is off, the

relays are disabled and TimeFactor’s electronics are completely bypassed.)

Relay Bypass is not a good choice, however, if TimeFactor’s input is your guitar and you’ve

connected TimeFactor’s output directly to a non-instrument level input device or e hav

connected to your amp over a long cable. Non-instrument inputs are often low impedance

(typically 10K ohm) and will load the guitar output and change its tone. DSP Bypass allows

TimeFactor to act as a buffer, providing a low impedance output (500 ohm) capable of

driving any device input or cable length.

Note: Relay Bypass should not be used if the Input/Output Lvl switches are set opposite to

one another. Specifically, if the Input Lvl switch is set for GUITAR and the Output Lvl switch is

set to LINE or the Input Lvl switch is set for LINE and the Output Lvl switch is set to AMP,

TimeFactor will not have unity gain. In this case, using Relay Bypass will result in a level

change whenever you Bypass TimeFactor.

DSP+

DSP+DSP+ Bypass

FX

TimeFactor also supports a type of Bypass called DSP plus Effects ([DSP+ ]). When [DSP+FX FX]

is selected, Bypass combines the audio at the DSP’s inputs with the DSP’s outputs AND stops

feeding any new input signal to the DSP Effects inputs. DSP+ makes it possible to Bypass FX

an Effect without abruptly killing the tail of the Effect that you’ve been using.

Selecting Bypass Type

Selecting Bypass Type Selecting Bypass Type

The Bypass mode is selected in System Mode under [BYPASS]. [DSP] is the default. Here’s how

to change it:

1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.

2) Turn the Encoder until [BYPASS] is displayed.

3) Momentarily press the Encoder.

4) Turn the Encoder until [BYP TYP] is displayed.

5) Momentarily press the Encoder.

TimeFactor User Guide Mix Control

Mix Control

Note: TimeFactor has been carefully designed to not mess with your tone in any of the Bypass

settings.

Note: When connecting TimeFactor to a computer, we suggest that you use a dedicated

audio interface (e.g. a Firewire Interface) and to select the type of Bypass that works best for

your application.

Note: When TimeFactor is turned Off, the relays automatically Bypass the unit. This means

that if power should accidentally go down while you’re playing, your guitar signal will not

disappear because of TimeFactor. Of course, if power is down, you may have bigger

problems.

Mix Control

Mix Control Mix Control

The Mix control sets the relative levels of the input signal (Dry) and the Effect (Wet).

Mono/Stereo

Mono/Stereo Mono/Stereo

TimeFactor detects which input and output jacks have cables plugged in and the action of the

Mix Control behaves appropriately. With a Mono Input (Input 1) and Stereo Outputs, the dry

contribution for both outputs comes from the Mono Input (Input 1). With Stereo Inputs, the

dry contribution at Output 1 is from Input 1 and the dry contribution at Output 2 is from

Input 2, thereby maintaining the original signal stereo image.

If you’ve connected your TimeFactor using an effect send/return loop (either your amp’s or a

mixer’s), TimeFactor’s Killdry feature can be enabled. With Killdry enabled, the Mix Control

works as a Master Effects Level Control.

When Killdry is enabled, the Mix Control does not send any dry signal to the outputs; only the

Effect. The Mix Control simply adjusts the Effect level. Note that when Killdry is enabled,

Bypassing will mute the Effect rather than Bypass it.

Killdry’s factory default is disabled. It can be enabled in the [BYPASS] menu of the System

Mode. Here’s how:

1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few seconds

to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.

2) Turn the Encoder until [BYPASS] is displayed.

3) Momentarily press the Encoder.

4) Turn the Encoder until [KILLDRY] is displayed.

5) Momentarily press the Encoder.

6) Turn the Encoder to select either [YES] or [NO].

7) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few seconds

to exit System Mode.

When an Effect is selected using the Encoder, the Effect’s parameter values are set by the

current position of the ten control knobs. When a control knob is turned, the Billboard

displays the parameter’s name and value. The controls are arranged in two rows and grouped

according to their functions.

The control knobs located along the top row are the primary level setting, delay times and

feedback controls. The top row knobs allow you to independently set delay and feedback for

each of the twin delays.

The bottom row control knobs set modulation and filter parameters as well as parameters

that are specific to each Effect. In most cases, the bottom row control knobs simultaneously

set values for both delays and don’t provide independent settings for each of the twin delays.

Note: The Encoder can be used to fi -tune all knob parameters if turned within 2 seconds of ne

turning the parameter’s knob.

Looper

Looper Looper

The Looper provides 12 seconds of mono recording. Salient features are: loop recording in

seconds or beats, variable speed scrubbing during playback and dubbing (including reverse

playback and dubbing), seamless dubbing, and real-time adjustment of the loop starting

point and loop length.

If your TimeFactor is connected to a stereo source, the inputs are automatically summed and

the sum is the Looper’s input. The Looper’s output drives both outputs identically.

The Looper is controlled with the Footswitches while in Play Mode and also by the control

knobs. Remember, to use the Looper, TimeFactor must be in Play Mode.

The Looper can be in one of the following states:

Empty

Fdbk A / Loop Decay Rate

Fdbk A / Loop Decay RateFdbk A / Loop Decay Rate: For the Looper, feedback is meaningless, so Fdbk A is used as a

Decay Rate control for dubbing.

When dubbing you may want the original saved audio to persist as you add new sounds. Of

course, indefinitely adding new signals will eventually result in ‘mud’ (the “Crayola” effect).

The Decay Rate control allows the saved audio to fade as you dub new material. The Decay

Rate is adjustable from 0% [DCY: 0] to 100% [DCY:100]. When set to 0%, the loop never

decays. When set to 100% the previously saved audio decays completely each time through

the loop when dubbing. In other words, the looped audio is only played once.

The Loop Decay Rate control has no effect on normal Playback, only dubbing.

Fdbk B / Dubbing Mode

Fdbk B / Dubbing ModeFdbk B / Dubbing Mode:

:

:: For the Looper, feedback is meaningless, so Fdbk B is used to select

the Dubbing Mode. There are four choices that determine the type of dubbing (Add or

Replace) and the action of the Footswitch control (Latch or Punch).

To Dub, press the Footswitch while the loop is playing or recording. The action of 

the Footswitch when dubbing depends on the setting of the Fdbk B control. 

If you want to simply press and release the switch to Dub, set this control to one of the two

Latching modes. Dubbing will continue until you press (or press record again to turn 

dubbing off).

interesting poly-rhythms against an existing pattern.

Speed / Varispee

Speed / VarispeeSpeed / Varispeed

d

dd:

In Tempo Mode, the Looper always loops about the current Play-Length number of beats in

the originally recorded time base, regardless of changes to the Speed. Thus, for slower

speeds the loop length will be truncated, and for faster speeds the loop will play through

more than once. For example, if you record an 8 beat loop at 1x, then play out 8 beats at a

Speed of 50 (.5x), the Looper will loop beats 1-4. Alternatively, if you choose to play at a

speed 150, the loop will complete one full cycle of 8 beats, then a half cycle of 4 beats, and

continue to loop this 1.5x pattern against the original time base. Please note that this Speed-

based sync feature is temporarily disabled while Dubbing, allowing you to dub through an

entire loop, and once you exit Dub mode moving back to Play, this sync feature will

resume. This ensures that the Looper always maintains perfect timing with external audio,

drum machines, etc. while providing the option to layer expressive pitched and poly-rhythmic

patterns or even minutely controlled drifts that always come back on the downbeat.

Catchup

Catchup Catchup

You would expect that when you turn a Parameter Control Knob, the parameter’s value

would change instantly and, unless Catchup is enabled, it does. Instant changes, however,

may not be desirable for all situations and users. Consider the following example:

You have just loaded a Preset and the Preset’s value for Dly Time A is 10 . Now, let’s say mS

that the Dly Time A Control Knob happens to be at the full clockwise position corresponding

to a delay time of 3000 mS. If you’d like to tweak the actual delay time by a small amount

(for example, from the Preset’s value of 10 mS to 20 ), you would reach down and turn mS

the knob only to find that the delay at first abruptly jumps from 10 mS to 3000 mS and then

decreases to the desired value as you continue to turn the knob. If this happens as you’re

playing, it could be a tad distracting. (One mS is a thousandth of a second).

TimeFactor’s Catchup feature is designed to prevent parameter values from abruptly changing

when the knob positions don’t correspond to the Preset values. When Catchup is ON and a

Control Knob is turned, the parameter value doesn’t change instantly. Instead, the display

alternates between the Preset value and the word “TURN” which is displayed accompanied by

either a left or right pointing arrows as appropriate. The parameter (and hence the Effect)

does not change until the knob position passes the current parameter value at which point

TURN and the arrow disappear, the parameter name and value are displayed, and the knob

becomes active.

Returning to our example, if Catchup is ON, Dly Time A would not change until the Control

Knob is turned from its full clockwise position to nearly its full counterclockwise position

where it corresponds to the 10 mS value. At that point, the Control Knob becomes “live,”

thereby avoiding any abrupt change in the sound of the Effect.

Catchup’s factory default is OFF. To turn Catchup On/Off:

1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.

2) Turn the Encoder until [UTILITY] is displayed.

3) Momentarily press the Encoder.

4) [KNOBS will be displayed. ]

5) Momentarily press the Encoder.

6) Turn the Encoder to select [CATCHUP] (ON) or [NORMAL] (OFF).

7) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to exit System Mode.

Because different pedals can have different electrical characteristics, it is a good idea to

“calibrate” your Stompbox to match the pedal. This can be done automatically, either all the

time, or only when wanted. To turn calibration On/Off:

1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.

2) Turn the Encoder until [UTILITY] is displayed.

3) Momentarily press the Encoder.

4) Turn the Encoder until [PEDAL CAL] is displayed.

5) Momentarily press the Encoder.

6) Turn the Encoder to select either ON or OFF.

7) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to exit System Mode.

When Calibration is ON, the unit will remember the highest and lowest values it sees and will

use these as pedal up and pedal down. Typically you will turn it ON, move the pedal between

its maximum and minimum values a few times, then turn it OFF. Be aware that some pedals

can be a bit quirky and pressing hard and pressing gently may give different values. For this

reason we suggest turning calibration OFF when you’re happy with the setting. When

Calibration is OFF, the values will be remembered and will not be changed by moving the

pedal.

The Expression Pedal settings can be adjusted simply by pressing the Pedal to the full heel or

full toe position and turning the Control Knobs. You’ll notice that whenever you move the

Pedal, the Green LED next to currently active Effect blinks. This indicates that Pedal

programming is “live.” To program, press the heel completely down and adjust the knobs to

get the sound that you want for the heel down position. You must turn the knobs to create

the assignment. Knobs that are not turned are not assigned. Now, press the toe completely

down and change the settings of any or all of the knobs. Parameters associated with any

knobs that are moved will be mapped to the Pedal. Now, when you rock the pedal back and

forth, you’ll hear the sound change between the two settings.

After a few seconds of pedal and knob inactivity, the LED will stop flashing. When the LED is

solidly lit, you can turn any of the Parameter Control Knobs to change the sound without

changing the Expression Pedal mapping.

When the Expression Pedal is used, the BillBoard will display the changing value. If the

Expression Pedal has been set up to control a single parameter, the display will show the

parameter name and value in the same way as if you were turning the Control Knob. If the

Expression Pedal has been set up to control multiple parameters, the display indicates the

pedal value (from 0 to 100) and the parameters that are changing. In this display, the ten

parameter Knobs are shown as dots and, when the Pedal is used, the column above each dot

is used to indicate that the Pedal is controlling that parameter.

Since any number of parameters can be programmed to respond to the pedal, it’s important

to learn how to un-assign parameters. Let’s say that you’ve programmed the Pedal to control

TimeFactor User Guide Expression Pedal

Depth from 0 to 3 and Speed from 1.00 Hz to 2.00 Hz. Now, you’d like to un-assign Depth

and have it fixed at 2 rather than have it change when the Pedal moves. Here’s what you do:

1) Press the Pedal to full heel and turn the Depth knob to 2.

2) Press the Pedal to full toe. Turn Depth away from 2 and back to 2.

Remember, you must move the Parameter Control Knob to create the Pedal assignment. If a

Parameter was previously assigned to the Pedal, the only way to un-assign it is to set the

same value for the heel and toe by turning the knob .

The Expression Pedal settings are not saved automatically. If you want to be able to recall

your Expression Pedal setting, you must perform the Preset Save operation.

If you load a Preset and the Expression Pedal is not connected, the parameter values will be

same as they were the last time the Preset was used.

Note: Expression Pedal programming can be disabled in System Mode under the Utilities

menu. Since programming the Expression Pedal is so easy, it is possible to inadvertently

change settings that you’ve created. By setting Pedal Lock ([PDLOCK]) ON, accidental changes

to the Expression Pedal settings are prevented.”

Note: You can set the minimum value to be greater than the maximum value. When you do

so, as the Pedal moves towards the toe, the Parameter value will decrease.

Note: The Expression Pedal input supports control voltage inputs from 0V to 3V. Care must

be taken to avoid ground loops. If you hear a “hum” only when you’ve connected a control

voltage source to ModFactor’s Expression Pedal input jack, then it is likely that the device

generating the control voltage is grounded to a different ground than your audio ins and

outs. Ground loops are notoriously difficult to track down and beyond the scope of this User

Organizing Your Presets in Banks

Organizing Your Presets in Banks Organizing Your Presets in Banks

When you save a Preset, you should consider if there is a companion preset with which it will

be used. For example, if you have a pair of Presets that you plan to use together in the same

song one for the verse, one for the chorus placing them in the same Bank will let you – –

instantly switch from one to the other.

Loading a Preset from a Bank is instantaneous (one tap) while getting to a Preset from

different Bank takes at least two taps. Also remember that if you plan to limit the number of

active Banks, you should store your most often used Presets in the lower Banks.

Note: When saving to a location other than the active slot, the saved Preset location becomes

the active slot. In other words, if Bank 1:1 is currently active and, after changing the

parameters to get a new sound, you decide to save the new sound to location Bank 9:1, Bank

9 becomes the active Bank.

Footswitches the local Footswitches are always active. Aux Switches can be programmed to –

perform a number of functions and they make it easy to connect a dedicated Tap Tempo

switch or Repeat switch or Preset Switch.

As noted above, the TimeFactor has two operating modes, Bank and Play. An Aux Switch can

be used to instantly toggle between the TimeFactor’s Bank and Play Modes. Alternately, some

users may want to have all six switch functions immediately available (3 from each Footswitch

Mode). A set of three Aux Switches can be connected and assigned accordingly.

Aux Switches can also be assigned to parameter values allowing you to switch between two

parameter values. For example, you could assign an Aux Switch to change Delay A’s feedback

level (F dbk A) from 0 feedback when the switch isn’t pressed to 100% when it is pressed. To

program the Aux Switches see the System Mode section of this User Guide.

Notes:

1) You must use a stereo phone to connect Aux Switches. ¼” plug

2) Toggle switches are not supported. Only momentary switches will work properly.

3) Simultaneously pressing the switch assigned to the Tip and the switch assigned to the Ring

will trigger the function assigned to the Tip+Ring. The Aux Switches should be pressed

The notion of using an On/Off control source like an Aux Switch to control a variable

parameter bears some explanation. Consider a variable parameter like Dly Mix. You may want

to be able to use a remote switch to instantly change from 100% Delay A to 100% Delay B.

Or consider Delay Time. You may want to be able to use a remote switch to instantly change

from 100 ms of delay to 250 ms.

After you’ve selected a Parameter Control Knob, you can set two values for the parameter; a

minimum value [MIN VAL] and a maximum value [MAX VAL]. Each time the assigned switch

is pressed, the parameter value instantly toggles between the minimum and maximum value.

When a Parameter Control Knob designator is displayed (KB0… KB9), pressing the Left

Footswitch will display [MIN VAL]. Turn the associated Parameter Control Knob to set the

minimum value. For example, if KB0 was selected, turn the Mix Control Knob to set the

minimum value. The Billboard displays the knob value while you’re turning the parameter

knob and times out to display the selected [MIN VAL] when the knob is idle.

Push the Left Footswitch again to set the maximum value for the selected Parameter Control

Knob. The Billboard will display [MAX VAL]. Turn the associated parameter knob to adjust the

maximum value. The Billboard displays the knob value while you’re turning the parameter

knob and times out to display the selected [MAX VAL] when the knob is idle.

The parameters controlled in this mode are system-wide and will apply to all Effects and

Presets. For example, if DigitalDelay was running when you entered System Mode, the Delay

Mix Knob is used to set the relative levels of the two delays. You could assign an Aux Switch

to DlyMix (KB1) with [MIN VAL] set to 100% Delay A and [MAX VAL] set to 100% Delay B.

You can then set Delay A’s delay time and feedback for one type of delay effect and Delay B’s

delay time and feedback for a totally different type effect. Pressing the switch will toggle

between the Delay A effect and the Delay B effect. If another Effect or Preset is chosen, the

Aux Switch will affect the delay mix for the currently loaded effect.

Now consider another example, if VintageDelay was loaded when you entered System Mode,

you could assign a switch to the Xnob parameter to control the amount of “saturation” In

this case, an Aux Switch can be set up to toggle between a little bit of saturation and a lot of

saturation (e.g., 3 to 7). In this case, if another Effect is loaded, the Aux Switch will still

control the Xnob parameter. If, for example, DigitalDelay is running, the Aux Switch will

change the crossover length.

Note: When a Preset is loaded, the switches assume the MIN VAL for the assigned

parameters. Pressing the switch for the first time after a Preset load, will toggle the parameter

to MAX VAL.

Note: While it is possible to assign more than one external controller to any parameter, doing

so is likely to cause confusion and is not recommended.

maximum value. The Billboard displays the knob value while you’re turning the selected

parameter knob and times out to display the selected [MAX VAL] when the knob is idle.

MIDI CCs send values from 0 to 127. The minimum parameter value will be set when the

MIDI CC sends a 0 and the maximum parameter value will be set when the MIDI CC sends

127. MIDI CC values between 0 and 127 are mapped to the selected parameter range.

The parameters controlled in this mode are system-wide and will apply to all Effects and

Presets.

For example, if Looper was running when you entered System Mode, the Xnob would be

used to select between Play Once and Play Loop. Using RCV CTL you could assign a MIDI

Continuous Controller to Xnob (KB6). CC message values less than 64 will select Play Once

and message values 64 or greater will select Play Loop. If VintageDelay i then loaded, the s

Xnob parameter sets the amount of “ .” In this case, the MIDI CC value saturation will control

the amount of saturation.

Note: You can set the minimum value to be greater than the maximum value. When you do

so, when the MIDI CC’s sends an increasing value, the parameter value will decrease.

Note: You can assign more than one external controller to any parameter. For example, you

can use MIDI CC10 to vary Delay Time A from 0 ms to 1270 ms with 10 ms resolution and

MIDI CC11 to vary Delay Time A from 0 ms to 127 ms with 1 ms resolution.

Note: While it is possible to assign more than one external controller to any parameter, doing

so is likely to cause confusion and is not recommended. Keep in mind that, if you have

previously assigned a MIDI CC to a control destination, you may want to clear the assignment

before setting up a new assignment. To clear, select the destination (parameter) and select

the source (MIDI CC) as [--- ].

MIDI maps are an efficient way to instantly recall any of TimeFactor’s Presets using your

favorite MIDI controller (pedal board, sequencer, etc.).

Press the Encoder to select and create a MIDI Program Change Receive Map. This function

sets the corresponding Preset that is recalled when a MIDI Program Change message is

received. (Referred to as Prg No. from here on.)

The left field displays the Prg No. (0-127) and right field displays either OFF, the Preset as

Bank:Preset (1:1- :2), TOG, BYP, or ACT. 50

TOG toggles the unit between bypass and active, BYP bypasses the unit, and ACT makes the

unit active.

There are two ways to select the MIDI Prg No: manually or using Learn Mode. To select

manually, with the left arrow flashing, simply turn the Encoder to select the desired Prg No.
