preloaded with inspiration
bigsky mx comes preloaded with 22 impulse responses, consisting of a number of different types of captures. we included a variety of impulses composed of different natural spaces in the collection, but we also wanted to give you some ir’s that were unique to mx.
strymon spent days in studios creating their very own long captures of classic analog studio gear, as well as some oddball units owned and restored by one of our analog engineers.
the result is a bunch of super-inspiring sounds, from real analog plate and unobtanium mainframe reverb units to wacky forgotten spring reverb tanks and tape echoes. there is a wealth of creativity waiting in the impulse bank!
ready to play
strymon'd most powerful pedal ever is also their most most flexible onstage, combining intuitive operation with features professional musicians will appreciate.
the bright oled screen is easy to read even in harsh conditions, and navigation is user-friendly and clear.
you can use the dedicated infinite/freeze footswitch to create lush pads to play over, and you can also control each reverb separately in a dual patch with your feet.
integrated ir-based cab filters give you mic’d amp tone when running direct to an interface or mixer.
full midi control over every relevant parameter and extensive i/o mean bigsky mx can easily integrate into any rig.
stereo panning
to offer the most flexible audio routing possible, we’ve added a pan control to the output of each reverb engine.
now you can push magneto off to the right so that you can hear the repeats even more distinctly in a dual scenario, or push both machines farther to the sides to leave more space in the middle of the stereo field.
it can be a powerful control when used creatively.
real spaces, real movement
the new mx reverb algorithms feature multi-modulation, which varies the delay times of individual reflections. as a result, turning up the mod knob results in a natural sense of movement, more like the movement of air in a room than an obvious modulation effect.
and even with zero modulation, reverb tails are smooth, musical, and resolve to silence beautifully — even at the longest decay times.
nixie 2 software
our nixie 2 software librarian is an integral part of the bigsky mx experience, allowing you to manage uploading and downloading of patches, real time parameter control from the desktop and impulse response loading.
