Strymon Night Sky and Cobalt8 Synth Jam - Friday Fun 

The last time I saw him do this was a Sub37 and an H9. That got to be expensive...

always the same shit

@@frankschneider7190 I know any dude doing slow chords passing through long reverb fx, has more success than a guy composing complicated soundtracks. 😂

@@frankschneider7190- Where’s your work?

Some of it is very nice. But sometimes it sounded slightly metallic. Not sure if that’s the patch, the synth or the Strymon. Or maybe just my old ears lol

Sounds outstanding James 👌

When someone goes on abt ambient music, I just say "I hardly listen to it, but I love Nick Batt"

Do you think it would be a satisfactory "straightforward" reverb as well? Looking to eventually invest in one of these more expensive pedals but between this, Big Sky, Ventris, and others, I'm not really sure what separates them.

@@ObKling It depends on what type of music you make and how many modulation options you need. The Nightsky can be good for ambient and experimental sounds. The Ventris is also very powerful but can do ‘standard’ verbs too.

I’m struggling to be friends with my Wavestate. Maybe my Nightsky will change that.

@@spdycar13 did you check out my tutorials on it?

@@RonCavagnaro I have not. I am checking them out now. Thank you!

@@spdycar13 hope it helps! I haven't yet learned anything else beyond what I've taught on programming it because it's endless beauty!

@Marc Jim Jones _hated_ wall warts.

@@MB-kx5qs Modular Grid is a great place to search reverbs but a lot of people use Erica Synths Black Hole DSP2, Mutable Instruments Clouds (or one of the billion clones), Make Noise Erbe-Verb (price is comparable to Night Sky), and tons more. For me, fx were usually an afterthought and not something I rely on heavily. At least, until I bought Earthquaker's Afterneath reverberator module earlier this year. It's just so much fun to experiment with and it sounds excellent. I also own an Erica Pico DSP and though it's tiny, having just 1 CV input can really bring some creative movement to the effect. Having control over parameters is a blast so Night Sky would be totally fun. But if you're looking for that particular type of control, I would definitely suggest a modular fx case.

Ventris is up there too

A bit much for tweaking for a guitar-pedal-format reverb. I wonder if guitarists really dig this one as much as they like the Big Sky? Probably more synth users are picking this up, I bet.

Understatement 🤣

Yeah, quite literally

never any discount with strymon

I turned them all off for this

He is long overdue on that 😉

it doesn't belong in pedal format to begin with

wow now i´m really going looking into big sky. I love the sound of that hidden feature, random multi modulation. Just fascinating!

Feed it with less hot input. I‘ve never had this issue.

@@RayyMusik Well yes. But also no, I'd much rather not worry about it at all for that price.

Are you plugging your Big Sky into an isolated power supply? That might be what you are missing. EMI/RFI is very bad for digital gear.

@@Jason75913 I am, and nothing else I've ever plugged into does what the Big Sky does when it goes kooky. I tend to lean on an OTO Bam instead because it can take hotter signals.

@ErsatzMoose it has multiple timbers

Well I played the sound dry and it was very basic. A LOT is the pedal

@@sonicstate Thank you for your answer, that's interesting to know as it is influencing my thoughts which to get first or whether I can use a different poly I already own in the meantime to create similar amazing ambient sounds. Someone keeps telling me how many pianos do I need.

@@apislapis The cobalt has got some great unique features but I think most of the 'work' in this video is the Stymon

Just an IKEA book/ laptop stand

@@sonicstate thanks !!

Tell her a random on the internet says you can have one now. You're welcome.

@@TheParanoidAndroid79 That might work 😀

Did you get one yet?

@@surfesports1142 No, unfortunately.

Looks like a plain tablet stand

Thin I wouldn't agree, fizzy, sometimes, depending on the algorithm, but that's what the filter is for 😃

Yep, but that's kind of the point of this reverb. It's more like a sound design tool than just a verb

Looks like a tablet stand

@@sonicstate might be worthwhile putting that link in the about section up top😉

inb4 he got it at a thrift shop

No such thing as too much cheese. Are you lactose intolerant or something?

@@Jason75913 this cheese is two years old.

@@Bagatellamusic I like my Parmesan aged.

Why is it that the first comment on a thread is nearly always an idiot?

Frankly, I'm sure you are. Nothing to boast about.
