Strymon releases Timeline MX firmware v1.22 with bypass and MIDI fixes

September 1, 2026 · 2 sources

The update lists eight fixes and two additions¹².

Among the fixes, the notes state that true analog bypass "could trigger and stick during preset changes resulting in no effects under specific conditions"¹². Other fixes cover tighter handling of 0xfc (MIDI CLOCK STOP) on MIDI DIN, typos in the EIGHTH and DOT EIGHTH tap division options, and correct startup behavior of the tap footswitch when in LOOPER mode¹². The notes also list a fix for an intermittent freeze when activating SPECTRAL under certain conditions¹².

Three MIDI and expression entries are listed: CC#100 always controls a preset's expression regardless of the EXP MODE global, CC#100 now honors the EXP SETUP>MIDI EXP value, and support for MIDI CC#100 during EXP SETUP configuration was restored¹².

The additions are Nixie 2.0 compatibility, which the notes say requires Nixie v 2.2.1.31 or later, and a change so that receiving a MIDI program change during SAVE preset mode saves to the preset location associated with the received message¹².

The same release notes page lists later and earlier revisions: v1.25 (Released Oct 2026), v1.18 (Released Aug 2026) and v1.10 (Released July 2026)¹². Strymon directs owners to its Strymon Update software to update the firmware on the pedal¹². No price is given for the firmware.
