Timeless "per channel" mode paning
Hi. I have a hard time grasping this filter mode. The "delay pan" of each channel does not seem to pan but instead makes the signal weaker or stronger.
What I want is to produce a wet filtered signal in the center from the left channel and at the same time produce a differently filtered signal in the center from the right channel.
Also, i tried to achieve this in mid/side mode but for some reason i am unable to produce any signal from the side channel even though I'm sure that the track has a stereo signal.
I'm totally confused. Please help.

Hi Tim,
Your confusion is understandable because it turns out that the per-channel filtering mode in Timeless 2 doesn't work like the routing diagram in the interface suggests. If you pan the L delay to the middle, the signal will actually be filtered by both filter 1 and filter 2.
We definitely consider this a bug in Timeless 2, but unfortunately we can't fix it it in a minor update because if would drastically change the sound in per-channel mode.
Cheers,
