[@joanofheart]

Thank you so much for this, us Nightsky users in groups were really trying to figure it out amongst ourselves and finding some things but this is the kind of demo we were hoping for. Thank you for taking the time to create it for us.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Yeah, it felt like the sequencer was this kind of beast that no one dared to dive too deeply in. I felt this would help, and I'm glad it did!

[@Peter7966]

I agree... as someone who's experimenting with Nightsky. It's a complex musical tool with endless possibilities, but a real learning curve tapping into them. This video is very helpful. I second the thanks. The sequencer is the defining function and the reason I purchased the pedal... but it's more than a challenge figuring it out for me, a non-tech type. You've unlocked the door for me Antonine.

[@frankmuscato7741]

The best explanation of this pedal ever

[@benbenzon]

Your explanation is very clear and easy to follow 😎👍🏻thanks for ur tutorial

[@harrietHHH]

Great demo. Thank you it was very helpful.

Very cool video. I was avoiding the sequencer because I had no idea where to start. Your Strymon videos have been awesome thank you!

[@ShaighJosephson]

Tweaker's dream reverb with some superego and 856 funtionality... Alot to learn, but worth it... ☺️

[@consciouscoma85]

so much to learn on my night sky.

[@gorogne]

Thank u very much! 👍🏿😎👍🏿

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

You're welcome!

[@melisaydm]

That's really nice. Your pedalboard could be at this point only Strymon and you wouldn't miss something because it's so versatile. Thanks for the review might think about this one. 🤠

[@stevenking4208]

Great Demo. What's the Midi map like for this pedal.? Can you draw automation curves to control all settings?

[@michaelbreach5862]

Thank you for making this and explaining the sequencer. Try changing the target from "Verb" to "Pitch" and while sequencing.. it gets very interesting!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Thanks for the tip!

[@GoodAfternoonDave]

as a synth player who's about to get one of these, I was shocked you were stepping all over it lol

[@sbookholt]

Same here... What if he just stepped in dogshit or something? :) Great explanation though!

[@cyborgmetropolis7652]

I put all my keyboards on the floor to step on.

[@jameswilkins4motion]

As a guitarist speaking for all guitarists in the world …we are idiots hahaah

[@jbjb9691]

Merci Antoine pour ton travail. Is there a possibility to randomize the pitch in the sequencer, to create some kind of arpeggiator à la Banana Effects's Tararira?

[@EvenTheTrees]

Thank you very much for this video! Very informative. Where did you find out about the secondary functions? I imagine it was in the complete downloadable manual from Strymon? I'm so happy you can have a all Dry Signal over the sequencer, it was almost a bummer for a moment for me that I couldn't do that!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Yes, I studied the manual as much as I could before making this video!

[@matthewmcguigan4293]

I have been looking for a pedal that would allow me to program riffs/arps/sequences for a few months. My main requirement is midi clock, which I believe this has (because I want easy sync to drums). So many pedals get so close... But I think this is what I actually want. Thanks for the demo. Nicely done.

[@tendingtropic7778]

and did it work out

[@leonsubbotsky6087]

​@@tendingtropic7778bro got lost in the creative flow, he's been jamming in wonderland since then

[@michaelmalachite4404]

Absolutely needed a video like this, I'm getting one of these pedals for xmas thank you ✌

[@DrivenCrane1]

I remain three reverbs in my board: Big Sky, Night Sky and Neunaber Immerse mk.2. I used to use them for different aims: regular reverb and for ambient tones; experimental and for huge tones, and Immerse is the best for just of touch of reverb or to be added after any of them to be enhanced even more!

[@michaelmalachite4404]

@@DrivenCrane1 very nice reverb selection 👌 I have the bluesky and the nightsky along with some adjustable reverb on my Marshall. Can't wait to experiment more w the nightsky its my new fav toy

[@DrivenCrane1]

@@michaelmalachite4404 my main purpose is to make this toy to be a tool. ;)

[@muhammadrezahaghiri]

This is a fun device to be honest. Can give you the function of a looper, an envelope or even a modular synth.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Lots of options, that's for sure!

[@peoplemoverstation]

Thanks a lot for these very pedagogical instructions and examples!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

My pleasure!

[@wargvl]

Great vid thank you! Quick question, can it be slaved with master clock for midi sync and triggered by master device? Let’s say if i run octatrack as master and want sequencer to be synced and triggered by it?

[@NedMassey2]

I run a (pretty ridiculously extensive) MIDI guitar rig for live soundscaping for a NYC theatre project. I love the NightSky and all my Strymon(and Meris, Chase Bliss, Source Audio, and Singular) pedals have deep presets that all operate beautifully via my Morningstar 8 MIDI controller. I also use a single expression pedal running from the Morningstar so that I can sweep through any parameter on the Nightsky (or any other pedal). I really love the NightSky. I think it is incredibly musical and well-designed, with the one caveat that the sequencer can only be set to quarter notes, so if you want a fast synth sequencer sound, you need a very high BPM from MIDI clock.

[@Kmuggle]

Which pickups are you using in your Suhr? Great video BTW!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Suhr ML, and pretty much always using the neck pickup!

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

I only checked videos of people using this on their desk with a synth. Now i see a shoe pressing the trigger:-)

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Oops! But... it's called a FOOTswitch, right? :-)

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar I shiver at the though if this thing being operated by a shoe that’s covered in beer and sand on a stage 🤣

[@sbookholt]

Can you store other knob positions in a sequencer step? (Instead of pitch?)

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

I'm pretty sure that it only stores pitches.

[@sbookholt]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar Ahh that's too bad...

[@marcusstrymon693]

Is it worth half a k euros? yiu can get almost 2 el caps for hat, imagine how funny 2 el caps are

[@dutchbassscapes2185]

To bad you can’t program a empty note so the sequence gets rhithmically interesting.... Or am I missing something ?

[@AutisticCuriosity]

Wow thanks so much - that was incredibly annoying and unmusical …like reverb version of hell. So glad I saw this so I can choose a different pedal. If I want a backing track I’ll buy a looper.
