TimeFactor Update Release Notes
More Presets
TimeFactor now supports up to 50 Banks/100 Presets.
This update includes killer new factory presets.
Improved Vintage Delay
The Bits, Filter, and Feedback controls have been improved for a more authentic
sound.
Improved Tape Echo
The Filter and Feedback controls have been improved for a more authentic
sound.
A Saturation control has replaced the Hiss control on the Xnob.
Expression Pedal Improvements
Expression Pedal Programming Activation:
Expression Pedal programming is now activated only when the Expression Pedal
is at the heel or toe position.
Shorter Timeout:
The Pedal Programming Timeout has been reduced to 2 seconds. This means
that when you move the Expression Pedal to heel or toe position, TimeFactor will
allow Expression Pedal programming for 2 seconds and then change to normal
operation.
Pedal Programming Lock:
You can now optionally disable live Expression Pedal programming. (See
System Menu Updates.)
Parameter Fine-Tuning
The Encoder can now be used to fine-tune all knob parameters if turned within 2
seconds of turning any knob.
Bank Select via Encoder Knob
In Bank Mode, the Encoder can now be used to select banks in either direction if
turned within 2 seconds of pressing a bank change footswitch.
System Menu Updates
[MIDI] – General Improvements have been made to MIDI operation, including
these new MIDI Functions:
[RCV CTL] – There are new choices for Receive Control to alter the unit’s
BYPASS setting:
ACT – Make the unit ACTive, i.e. not bypassed.
TOG – TOGgle the between bypass and active.
[RCV MAP] – BYPASS via Program Change
As well as using MIDI program change to load a preset, now it can also be
programmed to directly control the unit’s BYPASS setting. In the Receive
Map menu you can now select one of the following:
BYP – BYPass the unit
ACT – Make the unit ACTive, i.e. not bypassed.
TOG – TOGgle the between bypass and active.
[CLK IN] – MIDI Input Clock Enable
Turn Encoder to set MIDI Clock Receive ON or OFF. If ON, MIDI Clock is
used as a Tempo source.
[CLK OUT] – MIDI Output Clock Enable
Turn Encoder to set MIDI Clock Transmit ON or OFF. If ON,
TimeFactor can now be used as a MIDI Clock source.
[CLK FLT] – MIDI Clock Filter Enable
Turn Encoder to set MIDI Clock Filtering ON or OFF. If ON,
TimeFactor can be used with an unstable MIDI Clock source.
[UTILITY] – New Utility Function:
[PDLOCK] – "Lock" Expression Pedal settings
When PDLOCK is set to ON, Expression Pedal programming is disabled
and all Expression Pedal settings are locked. Default is OFF (unlocked).
Miscellaneous Fixes
MIDI Clock timing has been improved.
The accuracy of using MIDI CC to control TAP has been improved.
A received real time MIDI signal (e.g. MIDIclock) no longer terminates any sysex
message also being received.
When a RPT ON or RPT OFF message is displayed, the Encoder knob no longer
gets locked out.
It no longer takes two switch presses to turn-off Infinite Repeat after changing
from Play mode to Bank mode.
Dumping presets over USB no longer results in BAD LOAD messages.
There was an issue when assigning an Aux Switch to tip=FS1, ring=FS2,
t+r=FS3. From Bank Mode, loading a preset that was saved as Looper and then
loading a different preset that was not Looper resulted in Tap Tempo from an aux
switch to be ignored until you switched to Play Mode and then back to Bank
Mode again.
The displays for Tempo, Fdbk, Dly, are now consistent among all three Factor
series Stompboxes.
Overall Wet/Dry levels are now more consistent
In System/MIDI/XMT CC when you change the MIDI CC numbers from factory
defaults, the settings are no longer lost after power cycle.
If an Aux Switch is assigned to control both TAP and STP, the settings are no
longer lost after power cycle.
When using an Aux Switch assigned to TAP, a single tap of the Aux Switch now
displays the current tempo like a single tap on the on-board TAP footswitch does.
When assigning an Aux Switch to P/B, the switch no longer decrements the Bank
number with every other press.
General improvements have been made to speed up the system response

number with every other press.
