The Nightsky was better than I anticipated, and I expected it to be beautiful.

[@LiamKillen]

I love it.

[@floridahiker1503]

I could listen to the nightsky and one synth making ambient textures all night.

[@LiamKillen]

Just play this on repeat lol

[@HaydnMowbray]

Nice overview Liam. One thing you that I like is the use of the sequencer and high pass filter being manually swept. I think the description 'cool sibling that does drugs and got into synths' compared to the Big Sky is very appropriate. It's release puzzled a lot of guitarists but it found it's place with experimenters and other instruments. Keep up the great videos

[@LiamKillen]

Always! :-) Thanks for watching Haydyn.

[@kathleencoveny3860]

Somewhere over the rainbow... as you walk us through this range of sonic sound scenarios ... thanks ... cheers!

[@LiamKillen]

Cheers to you!

[@MisterCross]

I thank you for this video. As soon as I got the Microcosm I kind of get lost in that and don’t give this as much love as I should.

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah I totes get that it’s also a beast

[@ftlaud911]

Nice demo. When I heard NightSky I was instantly impressed. It is a definitely a cool FX unit to add to a Synth for experimentation. Using it in a track musically can definitely be done, but not easily unless its an ambient PAD. I am a fan just not at the top of my list for the studio yet. Picked up my first pedal - specular tempus. Still experimenting, but initial results are positive. Thanks again for the demo.

[@LiamKillen]

I'm still fan boying over the nightsky- fkn love this thing.

[@Itaketoomanypics]

i have the original blue version and love it with my sub 25, subharmonicon and korg opsix

[@LiamKillen]

Unstoppable

[@matrix12x]

great video. I love this reverb. Have you tried hooking up a midi controller to it and tweaking the parameters? For example, you could have a sequencer send a MIDI CCs as an LFO.

[@LiamKillen]

I haven't done this yet but I do have a PC-12 which would work great for this.

[@Kaje05]

Looks cool in black! Is there anything that compares in the VST world?

[@LiamKillen]

So slick, right!? Ummmm I would say Valhalla supermassive actually, which is free

[@vainsacrosanct2014]

Great video! Can the sequencer be synced to an external midi clock like your daw or a hardware sequencer sending midi clock? Thanks for your review.

[@LiamKillen]

Yes it can ! I don't know the ins and outs of how to approach it according to your set up - but yes, it can.

[@fractalman8064]

Good content. I'm after the same cable you're using (2 into 1 w/stretchy). Where did you find?

[@LiamKillen]

MyVolts all the way!

[@samothrace2106]

Could you link those stereo cables, please?

[@LiamKillen]

MyVolts!! They’re the best

[@samothrace2106]

@@LiamKillen awesome, thanks 🙏

[@internalreality]

this or the bigsky for digitone? im mostly an ambient/atmospheric kinda guy

[@LiamKillen]

Hmm good question. Personally I’d def go with this

[@deliciousaudio]

The Bigsky is just a reverb that does all sorts of reverb effects, this one is an ambient reverb with a lot of extra effects for textural soundscapes.

[@GirlfightClub]

Seems a little like Bliss Generation Loss . Are they comparable?

[@LiamKillen]

I haven’t tried that one actually but it’s def possible! I think this one’s kind of comparable to the microcosm

[@deliciousaudio]

The Gen Loss is a super-tweakable lo-fi effect, it has no reverb in it, this is more like an ambient reverb with a bunch of extra effects like filters, pitch shifter, modulation and distortion. I can't think of anything comparable to the Nightsky, although maybe the pedals by Hologram Electronics get close.

[@GirlfightClub]

@@deliciousaudio thank you! So, I have a microcosm, this would be redundant then?

[@deliciousaudio]

@@GirlfightClub Not necessarily, the Microcosm is a delay/glitch pedal with granular synthesis, this is a reverb with subtractive synthesis (i.e. filters) and also additive synthesis (pitch transopsing). The concept is similar (mixing an ambient effect with a bunch of synth-like effects), but they are very different circuits.

[@deliciousaudio]

Although now that I checked, the Microcosm also has a reverb and a filter, and both pedals have modulation. However, they still both do a bunch of things the other does not.

[@PodOfHeat]

"does drugs and got into synths" sounds familiar 😂😮

[@LiamKillen]

🤣
