Control the Strymon TimeLine MX from your browser — full MIDI CC reference for 8 parameters, interactive editor, and AI-generated presets. Free, no install.
Nitelite gives the TimeLine MX 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.

MIDI CC
Description
TIME
CC 3
Delay Time (range varies per delay type). REVERB: Pre-Delay (2ms-2.5s)
REPEATS
CC 5
Number of echoes, from one repeat to sustained repeats with regenerating oscillation. REVERB: Decay
FILTER
CC 11
Shape of the repeats filter. dTAPE: Tape Age. dBUCKET: low-pass cutoff. FILTER: LFO center frequency
GRIT
CC 13
Progressively adds distortion and artifacts. dTAPE: Record Level (MX voice) / Tape Bias (Classic voice). dBUCKET: Bucket Loss
SPEED
CC 29
Modulation LFO speed applied to the delay repeats. dTAPE: Tape Crinkle. SPECTRAL: grain Density
DEPTH
CC 33
Modulation LFO intensity applied to the delay repeats. dTAPE: Wow & Flutter. SPECTRAL: grain Stretch
MIX
CC 15
Balance of the analog dry and wet signals, from 100% dry to 100% wet
dBUCKET voicing (0=MX — warm response and full low end, 1=Classic — brighter response with mildly rolled off low end)
Digital
Control
MIDI CC
Description
REPEAT DYN
CC 47
Repeat Dynamics — reduces the REPEATS non-linearly so the delay tapers off faster than normal (0=Off, 1=On)
VOICE
CC 49
Digital voicing (0=MX, 1=Classic — the original TimeLine's digital sound, slightly rounder and fatter with retained clarity)
Drum
Control
MIDI CC
Description
LO CUT
CC 115
Low frequency shaping of the echo repeats
SPACING
CC 117
Spacing between the heads, creating different repeat patterns (0=Even, 1=Triplet, 2=Golden ratio ~1.62:1, 3=Silver ratio ~2.41:1)
Oil Can
Control
MIDI CC
Description
HEAD SELECT
CC 51
Engages the Long or Short play heads, or Both for a combination of cascading repeats with shifting patterns (0=Long, 1=Short, 2=Both)
MultiTap
Control
MIDI CC
Description
GRID
CC 89
Tap division spacing grid for the taps (0=16th, 1=Swing 16th, 2=Triplet, 3=Off). A Grid differing from the current pattern alters it to "Custom"
PATTERN
CC 91
One of 16 classic patterns (Classic 1-16), from simple ping-pong to rhythmic trances. Creates a stereo field of delay taps
FEEDBACK
CC 95
Feedback type (0=1 Beat, 1=2 Beat, 2=3 Beat, 3=4 Beat, 4=Parallel — 8 non-interacting delay lines, 5=Input — all taps feed back to the input)
Footswitches
A — bypass on CC 80
B — bypass on CC 81
TAP — bypass on CC 82
Special MIDI Functions
Expression — CC 100
Bypass — CC 102. When on, the current preset is bypassed. When off, the effect is engaged. Per Strymon spec: 0=Bypassed, 1-127=Engaged.
Persist (Trails) — CC 123. Allows delay repeat "trails" to continue when the effect is bypassed. Enabling Persist automatically sets TimeLine MX to Buffered Bypass.
Infinite Repeats — CC 97. Engages infinite repeats on the current preset. Equivalent to holding the lit A or B footswitch.
Tap Division — CC 17. Note or time division of the Delay Time to which repeats sync. 0=Quarter, 1=Dotted Eighth, 2=Eighth, 3=Triplet, 4=Sixteenth, 5=Golden Ratio (~1.62:1), 6=Silver Ratio (~2.41:1), 7=Free (unlocks the delay from TAP tempo and MIDI Clock).
Output Level — CC 7. Attenuates the volume level of the delay type's wet signal only (0-100). Useful to fine-tune the wet-dry mix of some presets.
Pan — CC 9. Pans the wet signal between the LEFT and RIGHT outputs. 0=Full Left, 8=Center, 16=Full Right. Disabled (centered) with mono output or Split/Dual routing.
Swell — CC 23. Applies a fade-in of the selected time to the repeats for a softer attack. 0=Off, then 0.10 to 4.0 seconds.
Duck Sensitivity — CC 27. Amount of ducking applied to the delay signal, triggered by the input signal (0-18).
Duck Release — CC 25. Release time of the ducking, 0.05 to 1.00 seconds.
Smear — CC 35. Softens the attack of the repeats while maintaining full frequency response. With high REPEATS levels, the delayed signal gets dreamy and ethereal.
High Pass — CC 37. Reduces the low frequency content of the wet signal after the delay (Off to 900Hz). Tames boominess of delay repeats on low-note riffs or chords.
Boost — CC 122. Final output level for the preset, -3.0dB to +3.0dB. 0=-3dB, 30=0dB (unity, default), 60=+3dB. Useful for level matching or boosting a solo with delay.
Dual Mode — CC 124. Dual delay routing. 0=Off (Delay 1 only), 1=Parallel, 2=Series 1>>2, 3=Series 1<<2, 4=Split L|R, 5=Split R|L. Nitelite controls Delay 1 — Delay 2 uses its own CC set (not mapped).
MIDI Patch Bank — CC 0. Select preset bank before sending a Program Change. 0=Bank 0 (presets 000A-063B), 1=Bank 1 (064A-127B), 2=Bank 2 (128A-149B). Powers up in Bank 0.
Looper Level — CC 127. Sets the volume level of the Looper playback (0-100).
Remote Tap — CC 93. Sends a remote tap tempo pulse to set TAP Tempo. Send any value for each tap pulse.
Value Encoder — CC 83. Simulate Value Encoder scroll. Send 0 to scroll counter-clockwise, 1 to scroll clockwise.
Looper: Record — CC 119. Starts looper recording. MIDI looper control does not require Looper mode to be active on the pedal.
Looper: Play — CC 120. Starts looper playback. Send any value to trigger.
Looper: Stop — CC 121. Stops looper playback. Send any value to trigger.
Looper: Forward/Reverse (Toggle) — CC 125. Toggles the looper between forward and reverse playback. Send any value to trigger.
Looper: Full/Half Speed (Toggle) — CC 126. Toggles the looper between full speed and half speed playback. Send any value to trigger.
Looper: Pre/Post Location (Toggle) — CC 84. Toggles the Global Looper Location between Pre (before Delay 1 and 2 — captures the non-effected input) and Post (after — captures all enabled delays).
Looper: Undo — CC 98. Undoes the last looper overdub, returning to the original loop. Send any value to trigger.
Looper: Redo — CC 99. Redoes the last undone looper overdub. Send any value to trigger.
