For example , if you scroll to the first reverb you can run that in parallel , so that the two reverb engines are running side-by-side meaning the same signal will feed into both simultaneously , mixed , and then go to the outputs . Press the Type encoder again and you can run your signal path in series . In that case , reverb engine one is going to feed into reverb engine two . Press Type again , and you can reverse that signal order . Press one more time , and you are splitting left and right with the two engines . You can also reverse that and go right to left .
The Global menu allows you to adjust your input levels , MIDI channel , MIDI controllers , program changes , the foot switch banks , active banks and more . Pressing and holding the Value encoder for three seconds will get you into the Global settings , and from there you can choose between true or buffered bypass operation . Most of the global settings can be adjusted either on a preset level or global level , which allows you to tailor how you want to use BigSky
MX . MX also has filtering , and both algorithmic and IR-based speaker cab emulation built in .
Editing the reverb parameters on BigSky MX is quick and easy . As you move through the different reverb machines , you will see a separate set of parameters displayed next to the Value encoder onscreen . For example , you can see which reverb type is loaded , which engine is selected for editing , the name , the length of each IR and more . Pressing the Value encoder allows you access to the various advanced editing menus which will change depending on which reverb machine you currently have loaded . When you are finished editing , press and hold Type to save the preset and you will be taken back to the editing menu . Press and hold again , and you ’ re back at the top-level display of the preset . Yes , there is a certain amount of menu diving required to get to BlueSky MX ’ s more advanced editing functions , but all the menus are intuitively laid out and relatively easy to understand .
Strymon ’ s BigSky MX has brand new algorithms ( or machines ) that have been completely rewritten from the ground up . The seven new algorithms include the Spring , Plate , Chamber , Hall , Room , Bloom and Shimmer machines . All these algorithms are not based on the original Big Sky algorithms in any way and are new . That said , Strymon has provided the classic algorithms from the original BigSky in most cases , so you should be able to recreate any of your favorite patches easily .
One of the new reverb machines inside BigSky MX is the Impulse machine , which loads up to 10-second long stereo impulse responses into a convolution engine . BigSky MX comes preloaded with twenty-two impulse responses , which includes emulations of many classic studio processors and some amazing outboard spring reverbs . You can edit the impulse response right on BigSky MX , so you can easily resample the IR and stretch or shrink it to
