Strymon releases Timeline MX firmware REV v1.18
August 1, 2026 · 2 sources
The update adds two global settings. MC RESET (MIDI CLOCK RESET) lets players re-sync delay time to MIDI CLOCK after changing TIME manually on the hardware. MC SWEEP (MIDI CLOCK SWEEP) is intended to address pitch artifacts resulting from MIDI CLOCK tempo changes12.
EXP MODE gains a DELAY INPUT feature to control both per-delay input levels and a LOOPER LEVEL option, and the EXP MODE options were reorganized. A new assignable, EXP-ready DELAY INPUT parameter was added to PARAMS. In the DUAL configuration, mixed gain correction on PARALLEL is "a little wetter"12.
MIDI additions include CC#31/32 for per-delay INPUT LEVEL and CC#113/114, with 0 for bypass and 1-127 for engaged, for independent delay bypass toggle12.
The fixes listed for v1.18 cover MIDI, footswitches and bank handling:
| Area | Fix |
|---|---|
| MIDI | CC messages arriving close behind a program change were applied prematurely |
| MIDI | Mishandling of some unused messages, such as SPP over USB MIDI |
| FOOTSWITCH | Hold detection happened too soon (250ms to 500ms) |
| FOOTSWITCH | DUAL FOOTSW MODE was not honored immediately at boot |
| FOOTSWITCH | MIDI-bypassing D1 in FOOTSW MODE=PRESET blanked the LED too eagerly |
| FOOTSWITCHES | Wrong BANK UP/BANK DOWN result near the max active bank |
Strymon directs owners to its Strymon Update software to install firmware on the pedal12. The release notes list no price for the update.
The same notes page lists later revisions: v1.22 (September 2026) and v1.25 (October 2026), the latter marked as the current release12.
