Summary of Contents for Strymon Nightsky

  • Page 1 QUICK START GUIDE...
  • Page 2 Varies a selectable target parameter according to the selected waveform. TARGET Selects the process that modulation is applied. verb: modulates the delay lines within the regenerating reverb core. pitch: modulates the size (process rate) of the reverb SPEED core. Adjusts the rate of modulation filter: modulates the HIGH CUT tone control position.
  • Page 3 DECAY Selects the reverb architecture and sets the tail characteristics. LENGTH Adjusts the reverb decay time from less than one second to nearly infinite sustain. At long decay settings, decay time may be impacted by the TONE settings. SIZE / PITCH Increases the size of the reverb core to create a larger “space”...
  • Page 4 TONE & MIX Applies filtering equalization to the high and low frequency portions of the reverb. FILTER Selects the response of the HIGH CUT knob. regen: removes high frequencies from the regenerating core, creating a reverb that gets darker as it decays. LOW CUT low pass: applies a synth-style peaking low- Removes low end content both at the output...
  • Page 5 VOICE Adds pitch, harmonics, and distortion to the reverberated signal. SHIMMER (button) Selects the type of shimmer effect. input: shimmer effect is applied to the input of the reverb core and does not regenerate. regen*: shimmer effect is applied within the INTERVAL reverb core and the effect is regenerative.
  • Page 6 FOOTSWITCHES & PRESET BUTTONS Turns the effect ON or OFF. morph: press and hold sweeps between the current sound and a set of “morph” knob settings. See user manual for details on programming morph setting. FAVORITE INFINITE Toggles between the active onboard preset and the Holds the input to the reverb GREEN current state of the knobs and switches.
  • Page 7 REAR CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS INPUTS Stereo high impedance ultra low-noise Use for connecting to a computer discrete Class A JFET preamp inputs. for controlling via MIDI and updating Use LEFT IN for mono input. firmware. OUTPUTS MIDI IN / OUT Low impedance stereo outputs.
  • Page 8: Input Mode

    Use INST for guitars or instruments with lower output. Setting to LINE adds 10dB of clean headroom for use with synthesizers, or when placing NightSky in the effects loop of an amplifier or mixer, or for guitar rigs with high output levels if more clean headroom is desired.
  • Page 9: Sequence Mode

    SEQUENCE MODE Varies the Size/Pitch parameter as programmed at regular or stepped time intervals. Press and hold INFINITE (sequence) to enter Sequence mode. The ON LED will turn RED. Use the presets 1-8 to set independent SIZE/PITCH settings for up to 8 steps to be played in sequence.
