FabFilter Timeless 3

FabFilter Timeless 3 is a versatile, vintage-sounding tape delay, which will fully satisfy your everyday delay needs. And with its unique effects, filters, tap patterns and unlimited modulation options, you can just as easily turn it into the ultimate sound-mangling machine!

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.
