Eventide TimeFactor — MIDI Editor & CC Reference

Control the Eventide TimeFactor from your browser — full MIDI CC reference for 11 parameters, interactive editor, and AI-generated presets. Free, no install.

Nitelite gives the TimeFactor a full browser-based control surface: turn every knob, flip every switch, describe the tone you want to the AI Tone Terminal, and save the results — all sent to the pedal live over MIDI (default channel 1). Works free in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave — no install required.

Per-Mode Parameters

DigitalDelay

ControlMIDI CCDescription
XFADECC 28Crossfade speed (XFADE) from 2ms to 200ms. Small=fast crossfades, large=gradual crossfades when delay time changes
DEPTHCC 29Delay modulation amount (0=OFF, 127=MAX)
SPEEDCC 30Delay modulation rate (0-5Hz)
FILTERCC 31Low pass/high cut filter variable from 0 (no filtering) to 127 (extreme hi cut)

VintageDelay

ControlMIDI CCDescription
BITSCC 28Bit resolution from 20 bits (high quality) down to 5 bits (lo-fi, nasty digital noise). Each bit = 6dB resolution
DEPTHCC 29Delay modulation amount (0=OFF, 127=MAX)
SPEEDCC 30Delay modulation rate (0-5Hz)
FILTERCC 31Filter to simulate band-limited old school delays

TapeEcho

ControlMIDI CCDescription
SATURATIONCC 28Analog tape saturation amount (0=none, 127=max). Warm vintage sound with compression and distortion
WOWCC 29Simulates analog tape Wow — slow pitch/amplitude modulation from motor/tape transport issues (0=none, 127=max)
FLUTTERCC 30Simulates tape machine Flutter — faster, more rapidly changing variation than Wow (0=none, 127=max flutter)
FILTERCC 31Simulates tape recorder frequency response. Higher values = more pronounced tape tone character

ModDelay

ControlMIDI CCDescription
WAVE SHAPECC 28Modulation wave shape as displayed on Billboard. Single waveforms modulate both delays in phase; double waveforms modulate out of phase
DEPTHCC 29Delay modulation amount (0=OFF, 127=MAX). Controls intensity of chorus/modulation effect
SPEEDCC 30Delay modulation rate (0-5Hz)
FILTERCC 31Low pass/high cut filter variable from 0 (no filtering) to 127 (extreme hi cut)

DuckedDelay

ControlMIDI CCDescription
RATIOCC 28Ducking ratio — the degree to which the delay is attenuated while playing
THRESHOLDCC 29Ducking threshold (-36dB to -66dB) — audio amplitude at which ducking kicks in
RELEASECC 30Release time from 500ms to 10sec. Short=delay returns quickly after playing stops. Long=delay stays ducked longer
FILTERCC 31Low pass/high cut filter variable from 0 (no filtering) to 127 (extreme hi cut)

BandDelay

ControlMIDI CCDescription
RESONANCECC 28Filter resonance (RES) or sharpness. 0=subtle, 127=dramatic resonant effects
DEPTHCC 29Amount that the filter cut-off or center frequencies are modulated/shifted
SPEEDCC 30Rate of modulation for the filter center frequencies (0-5Hz)
FILTER TYPECC 31Select filter type — Low Pass, Band Pass, or Hi Pass

FilterPong

ControlMIDI CCDescription
WAVE SHAPECC 28Selects the shape of the filter modulation as displayed on the Billboard
DEPTHCC 29Amount of frequency modulation for the filters
SPEEDCC 30Speed multiplier for filter modulation
FILTERCC 31Controls the mix between the dry and filtered signal input to the ping-pong delay

MultiTap

ControlMIDI CCDescription
SLURCC 28Selects the amount of diffusion (SLUR) of the repeats from 0 (discrete taps) to 127 (smoothed, reverb-like)
TAP TAPERCC 29Sets the relative level (taper) of the taps. TAPR=-10 (1st tap quietest, last loudest), 0 (all equal), TAPR=10 (1st loudest, last quietest)
TAP SPACINGCC 30Spacing between taps: 0 (spacing increases with delay), 5 (equally spaced), 10 (spacing decreases with delay)
FILTERCC 31Tone control filter that reduces high frequencies to darken the ambient sounds

Reverse

ControlMIDI CCDescription
XFADECC 28Crossfade rate (XFADE) from 2ms to 200ms at the splice point. Small=fast, more audible rhythm. Large=smoother reverse effect
DEPTHCC 29Delay modulation amount (0=OFF, 127=MAX)
SPEEDCC 30Delay modulation rate (0-5Hz)
FILTERCC 31Low pass/high cut filter variable from 0 (no filtering) to 127 (extreme hi cut)

Footswitches

  • ACTIVEbypass on CC 70
  • REPEATbypass on CC 71
  • TAPbypass on CC 72

Special MIDI Functions

  • Tap Tempo — CC 72
  • Expression — CC 15
  • Bypass — CC 70. When on, the TimeFactor is bypassed (dry signal only). When off, the effect is engaged. Mirrors the left (Active) footswitch.
  • Infinite Repeat — CC 71. Toggle Infinite Repeat on or off. When on, the audio currently in the delays is captured and repeated indefinitely. Mirrors the center (Repeat) footswitch.
  • Play/Bank Mode — CC 72. Toggle between Play Mode and Bank Mode. In Play Mode the footswitches control Active/Bypass, Infinite Repeat, and Tap Tempo. In Bank Mode they recall presets. Assignable via RCV CTL (P/B destination).
  • Looper Direction — CC 79. Toggle Looper playback direction between forward and reverse (DIR). Corresponds to the DIR RCV CTL destination. Assignable via RCV CTL.
  • Input Swell — CC 80. Enable or disable Input Swell on the current preset. When on, the expression pedal jack acts as a volume swell before the effect. Corresponds to the ISW RCV CTL destination. Assignable via RCV CTL.
  • Output Swell — CC 81. Enable or disable Output Swell on the current preset. When on, the expression pedal jack acts as a volume swell after the effect. Corresponds to the OSW RCV CTL destination. Assignable via RCV CTL.
  • Bank Increment — CC 73. Increment the active Bank number by one (cycles through active Banks 1-50). Corresponds to the BK+ RCV CTL destination. Assignable to any CC via MIDI > RCV CTL.
  • Bank Decrement — CC 74. Decrement the active Bank number by one (cycles through active Banks 1-50). Corresponds to the BK- RCV CTL destination. Assignable to any CC via MIDI > RCV CTL.
  • Looper Record — CC 75. Start or stop Looper recording. In Empty state starts recording; in Recording state creates Loop End and begins Dubbing. Mirrors the left (Active/Record) footswitch in Looper mode. Assignable via RCV CTL (REC destination).
  • Looper Play — CC 76. Start Looper playback from the loop start point. Also toggles playback direction when AP:RVDIR is selected. Mirrors the center (Repeat/Play) footswitch in Looper mode. Assignable via RCV CTL (PLY destination).
  • Looper Stop — CC 77. Stop Looper playback or recording. Mirrors the right (Tap/Stop) footswitch in Looper mode. Assignable via RCV CTL (STP destination).
  • Looper Empty — CC 78. Empty the Looper, clearing all recorded audio and returning to the Empty state. Corresponds to the MT (Empty) RCV CTL destination. Assignable via RCV CTL.

Hardware Presets

The TimeFactor has 100 hardware preset slots. Nitelite can save your current settings to a slot and recall slots via MIDI program change.
