From the manufacturer:
Plug into BigSky and instantly lift your sound into the stratosphere. The world below you fades into the distance, and you’re elevated into a glow of lush, glorious, radiant reverbs.
To create a reverb experience as beautiful and immersive as BigSky required, we carefully studied and scientifically analyzed reverb technology from the past fifty years. We faithfully captured the essence of these classic sounds, and forged ahead to dream up our vision of reverbs from the future.
Feel the mechanical tension of the Spring reverbs. Hear the floating particles of the Cloud machine. Defy the laws of physics with the Nonlinear reverbs. Unleash the multi-head reverberations of the Magneto machine. BigSky gives you twelve studio-class reverb machines, each with simple yet powerful controls.
- The Display can show your Decay time, Preset name or Preset bank number. When editing a sound it will display your reverb parameters.
- Value gives you complete control over reverb parameters, global settings, and fine-tuning of Decay time. Each reverb machine type has its own set of easily adjustable parameters.
- Decay controls the Decay time of the reverberated signal. The range can depend on the selected reverb machine.
- Pre-Delay adjusts the time between the dry signal and the onset of the reverb, from 0 to 1.5 seconds. For the Nonlinear and Magneto machines, this knob controls the amount of Feedback.
- Mix controls the balance of your analog dry signal and your wet signal, from 100% dry at minimum to 100% wet at maximum. The mix occurs entirely in analog. 50/50 mix occurs when the Mix knob is set to 3:00.
- Type allows you to select your reverb machine type. Choose from Room to Shimmer and everything in between. Press to toggle the display between Bank and Time. Press and hold to save a preset.
- Tone adjusts the high end content of the reverb. Lower settings create darker, warmer reverberation, higher settings are bright and crisp. Set at 12:00 for a nicely balanced top end.
- Param 1 is assignable to any menu parameter for the current reverb machine, assignable per preset.
- Param 2 is assignable to any menu parameter for the current reverb machine, assignable per preset.
- Mod adds modulation to the reverberated signal. Lower settings modulate the delay lines lightly for a subtle and natural movement, higher settings tastefully add stronger modulation.
- A Footswitch activates or bypasses your preset. Press and hold for Infinite Sustain or Freeze, assignable per preset. Press A and B simultaneously to Bank Down through your presets.
- B Footswitch activates or bypasses your preset. Press and hold for Infinite Sustain or Freeze, assignable per preset.
- C Footswitch activates or bypasses your preset. Press and hold for Infinite Sustain or Freeze, assignable per preset. Press B and C simultaneously to Bank Up through your presets.
