Strymon Strymon NightSky Experimental Reverberant Synthesis Plugin The Strymon NightSky plugin is an expansive sound design workstation that redefines the traditional concept of reverb. Originally released as a celebrated hardware pedal, this software adaptation brings Strymon's "reverberant synthesis" directly into the DAW environment. Unlike standard reverbs that aim to simulate physical spaces, NightSky is designed for deep manipulation of pitch, harmonics, and time. It allows users to sculpt atmospheric washes and otherworldly textures through a combination of a variable-rate reverb core, advanced modulation, and a dedicated voice section. At the heart of the NightSky is a unique engine that treats the reverb tail as a sound source for further synthesis. By integrating a four-pole resonant filter, a versatile distortion section, and an eight-step sequencer, the plugin transcends simple ambiance. Producers can create rhythmic pitch-shifted tails, shimmering harmonic overtones, and evolving cinematic pads that react dynamically to the input signal. Whether applied to synthesizers, guitars, or orchestral tracks, the NightSky provides a hands-on, menu-free interface that encourages experimental exploration and instant sonic transformation. The plugin architecture mirrors the hardware's intuitive layout, offering three distinct reverb textures: Sparse, Dense, and Diffuse. These engines provide the foundation for everything from granular-sounding reflections to plate-like density and slow-building washes. With the addition of "Variable Process Rate" technology, the NightSky can simultaneously shift the size and pitch of the reverb core over a 2.5-octave range. This capability, paired with the onboard sequencer, enables the creation of complex melodic and rhythmic patterns that were previously difficult to achieve without a complex chain of multiple effects. Features: Three Reverb Textures: Choose between Sparse (granular), Dense (plate-style), and Diffuse (atmospheric wash) engines for varied reflection behaviors. Variable Process Rate: Allows for real-time continuous control of reverb pitch and core size simultaneously. 8-Step Sequencer: A powerful tool for sequencing pitch changes of the reverb core, capable of running at a tapped tempo or synced to MIDI clock. Voice Section: Dedicated controls for Shimmer, Glimmer, and Drive to enhance the harmonic spectrum of the reverberated signal. Synth-Style Filter: Includes a 4-pole, 24dB/octave resonant low-pass filter for sweeping the reverb output. Modulation Section: Features six selectable waveforms (triangle, square, ramp, saw, random, and envelope) with multiple modulation targets. Quantized Pitch: Size and Pitch controls can be set to smooth operation or quantized to half-steps and specific musical scales. Infinite Sustain: A dedicated "Infinite" function allows for the freezing of audio within the reverb core to create endless drones. Integrated Drive: Soft-clipping non-linear saturation that can be applied pre or post-reverb for added grit and character. Preset Management: Instant access to 16 on-board presets with the ability to store hundreds more via the plugin interface. Scalable UI: High-resolution user interface that can be resized to fit any modern screen setup. Full Automation: Every parameter is automatable within your DAW for complex, evolving soundscapes. https://youtu.be/80JzrfNG8p0?si=_5N0FMPqTg-XI1OW Read More
