Strymon NightSky – Time-Warped Reverberator

Time-Warped Reverberation

With the Strymon NightSky, create vast soundscapes with just a few notes from any instrument. Apply mind-bending pitch and harmonic manipulation to your reverb tails, with synth-like filter sweeps.  With pioneers and sonic adventurers in mind, we created a reverb pedal that can go where none have gone before, further pushing the boundaries of creative exploration.

Reverberant Synthesis Machine

Furthermore, 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, not to mention it’s synth-like resonant filter with multiple modulation waveshapes, and furthermore a step sequencer with variable glide. As a result, you haven’t heard a pedal like this before, garenteed.

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

The Strymon 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. Similarly, 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.

Explosions in the NightSky

NightSky’s Drive feature generates saturated overdriven harmonics that can either react to the signal going into the reverb core, or dynamically distort the reverb’s output in a very interactive way. When Drive is applied at the input, digging in generates more distorted harmonics, so you can dynamically “play” the distortion.

Sonically Beautiful Reverb Repitching

Inspired by the classic shimmer effects pioneered in the ’80s, NightSky’s Shimmer voice is carefully created from the reverberated signal to generate radiance and beauty. As a result, call forth deep, ambient string sections with octave down, or spacey, ethereal textures with octave up. Similarly, in between the octaves are several musically interesting intervals available for shifting the harmonic structure of the reverb.
