time-warped reverberator.
create vast soundscapes with just a few notes from your instrument. apply mind-bending pitch and harmonic manipulation to your reverb tails, with synth-like filter sweeps. enter a world of new sounds that blow away the boundaries of what is possible with
reverb. with pioneers and adventurous sonic explorers in mind we created a reverb pedal that can go where none have gone before.
reverberant synthesis machine.
nightsky is a reverberant synthesis workstation, and a powerful, hands-on experimental sound design platform. nightsky gives you real-time continuous control of reverb pitch/processing rate/core size, harmonics, and even a synth-like resonant filter with
multiple modulation waveshapes, plus a step sequencer with variable glide. you haven't heard a pedal like this before.
new sonic territory.
nightsky is a reverb pedal you will want to get your hands on. deep and powerful sound manipulation with instant response knob-tweaking and no menu diving set a new standard in experimental reverb sound design.
warp core reverb.
nightsky achieves some of its most mind bending sounds by using a variable process rate for its reverb core, allowing you to simultaneously change the size of the reverb as well as the pitch. this pitch change can be completely smooth, or quantized to a
variety of musical scales. and it can be sequenced.
harmonic sculpture machine.
use shimmer to shift the harmonic structure by selectable musical intervals. add glimmer to dynamically enhance the harmonic spectrum. turn up drive to generate saturated overdriven harmonics. then sculpt the resulting signal with nightsky's synth-like
variable-resonance low pass filter.
features: presets
instant access to 16 presets.
nightsky gives you instant front panel access to 16 presets.
of course, if 16 is not enough, 300 preset locations are available via midi.
midi control
core of your midi rig.
with full midi control of every parameter plus 300 preset locations, nightsky is designed to be the center of sonic expressiveness for your midi pedalboard.
control sequencer tempo and pitch via midi. modulate nightsky's filter with beat-synced modulation envelopes from your daw.
let nightsky provide the inspiration, and the possibilities are as unlimited as your imagination.
nightsky transmits and receives midi over 5-pin din, usb, and even the expression jack (via our midi exp cable)-perfect for your pedal board or in your studio.
expression
morphing expression control.
connect an expression pedal and enjoy a whole new level of instantaneous, continuous control.
set as many knobs as you like for the heel position and toe position of your expression pedal, and all settings will simultaneously morph throughout the full range of the expression pedal.
nightsky offers an input level switch to work perfectly with a variety of input sources.
set the switch to the inst position when using a guitar level input.
set to line when using nightsky in the effects loop of a guitar amp, or when driving nightsky with a hot output from a synth or mixer insert.
the line input mode gives you an additional 10db of clean headroom, and is also perfect for using nightsky as a send effect or insert effect in the studio.
