Strymon BigSky MX - Impulse

Unprecedented IR Control

BigSky MX gives you powerful hands-on control of user loadable 10-second stereo impulse responses, so you can intuitively manipulate your IRs in real time. Set decay envelopes, gate the reverb tail, reverse the IR, resample on the fly to make longer or shorter IRs, and create infinitely sustaining ethereal granular pads at the press of the Infinite footswitch. Any compatible audio file can be loaded, allowing you to use IRs for everything from hyper-realistic reverb spaces to boldly fun experimentation. BigSky MX comes preloaded with 22 unique impulse responses, including our own meticulous captures of legendary analog studio gear that are addictively inspiring.

As somebody who has some knowledge of DSP, I enjoy the fact that his explanation of convolution reverb is "it does a convolution of your guitar input with a pre-recorded impulse response", which doesn't actually explain it to anybody else 🤣😂🤣

Well, I think that it's a great concept. It's a studio reverb in pedal format, with almost infinite creative potential.
So, it is what the bigsky should be in 2024.

Can you guys pipe in a super saw synth as an impulse and sing into this? Would be interesting to hear.

[tedpikul]

The Infinite feature is similar to the Auto mode of the EHX Superego, right?

[Gusther]

They should make a combination of the most essential delays of the Timeline and the Reverbs of the BigSky Cloud, Bloom, Plate instead of taking out a product like this

I wish I had the Money to buy this beautiful thing. But I'm broke :D

According to the MX manual, the maximum quality of the impulses you can load is 24-bit/48 KHz, which is unacceptably low for a product that costs $680 USD street price. Furthermore, Strymon provides no documentation of how long your impulses can be. There are much better products on the market already at less than half this price, if your goal is using convolutions.
