The Strymon TimeLine has two behaviors that you must know:
When you change the delay machine (CC #19), the other parameters (such as mix, grit, etc.) do not stay at their current setting. Instead, they are read from the pedal knob settings. This requires re-setting all parameters after changing the delay machine type.
To see this, do the following:
I discovered this one while working on the above issue. It was fun tracking down.
After receiving a CC #19, the TimeLine ignores CC messages for approximately 340 ms.
In FootSmart, I have added a workaround: a followup
message that sleeps
for .35 seconds. Strymon's comment:
It sounds like the MIDI messages are conflicting when sent at speeds below 350ms, and I would avoid sending those messages closer together than that. This can happen with all of our pedals (and really just most MIDI devices) with certain messagesI would like to see this changed as well, though it may be tougher (requiring a buffer for incoming messages. But if you run into this, please request it be changed.
I also found that this happens immediately after enabling the TimeLine. Easy enough fix, but it was inconvenient.
