Its so nice to see someone actually play the synths while displaying what the pedal can achieve, instead of endlessly rambling about what is technically happening and pressing a few random keys.
You must be kidding. This guy doesn't now shit how to use these fantastic pedals. This is complete joke to me. But Strymon are fantastic pedals if used in right way.
Yep, I bought a BigSky for my P06. A slightly expensive luxury. 😀 It's good, but the P06 effects aren't that bad either. But after listening to this superb demo, I think I should tweak a few more of my presets. To suit performance with a P06 synth. Also, I just fell in love with your Deco Mr and Mrs Strymon, by the way. It overloaded my DSi Tempest when used as an insert. But when used on my send channels, well that is sumptuous compression and superior stereo spacing in one! And now I have to ration the amount each synth or drum machine receives, before my mix is completely soaked in that believable analog goodness. 🤓
I'd like to hear what is that your comparing the DSI to? Yes there are other ones out there that can do more stuff and are maybe even cheaper but I wouldn't call DSI sub par.
I'm so in love with this promotional video.. lol. I regularly come back and watch what he did with the Pedal. I want to sound like that. And just the fact that there is no talking, just explained settings and music.. Thank you for doing it this way!
cartesiaLive gear can perfectly help pay bills if you take music as a career rather than a hobby. you don't really need it because digital audio counterparts are good enough for most people, but my point still stands.
OH MAN I CAN'T WAIT TO GET ONE OF THESE. The trails between presets, ease of changing presets, the list goes on. People who hate on this pedal should take a production course and learn how to use reverb. This thing is so freaking amazing, any bad tones are down purely down to user error.
I've been listening to reviews mainly with guitar but as a keyboard/synth player this demo has helped me to make a decision to get one and the quality of playing is fantastic - inspirational ! Thank you.
This pedal is definately added to my next-to-buy-list. I think it’s one of the lushest reverb-pedal ever made. The Strymon seems to bring any sound into a completely another dimension/world.
I've had this pedal for nearly a year now, and I'm certain I've only scratched the surface of it. Huge sound, and a lot to play with. Shame there's only 24 hours in a day!
Im absolutely certain that these pedals have inspired me in a way that i never thought a machine could. You're not only buying a pedal, you're buying more creativity and possibilities with these pedals. Thank you strymon,
Paul Castelluzzo Thank you so much! Love your playing style. Please tag us in any videos you post while using Strymon. Enjoyed checking out the videos you have now, they are lovely :)
@Robin Fitton - That is actually the tweed road case for Peter's Therevox ET-4.3. We though it looked cool so we used it in the video to place the BigSky. :)
Oh man! What a difference it makes to be an amazing musician, playing some of the most fantastic electronic keyboards ever through this AWESOME reverb. I'm sold. Thanks SO much for posting this.
This video put it over the top for me. Props to #Strymon for killer marketing materials and social media presence. Went out and bought my very own BigSky today at Gelb Music in Redwood City, Ca. Going to create an external FX loop from my audio interface so I can run my analog gear, drum tracks, and guitars through it. Can't wait to see what sounds I can create with it!
+Neil Jan I was lucky enough to snag a prophet 08 Limited edition signed by Dave Smith #150 and I am going to be getting the BlueSky (sorry no big sky) soon and can't wait to give it a go! I just hope this BlueSky I'm ordering in won't be a dud like the one at the store! I was so excited and me and the sales tech plugged it (with my guitar) in and nothing came out of it! It was the only one in the store, but I did get to try the Flint which sounded great! Awesome playing for sure!
+BinaryReaper Sorry that you had trouble with the blueSky at a store. Can you let me know which dealer you were at to make sure that we have that taken care of? Thanks for checking us out! :)
+strymon Hey Strymon, the dealer was Long and McQuade in Halifax NS. They actually immediately called the Strymon rep when we discovered the issue so they did what they could. At first they thought it might be because the wrong power supply was used but after using the strymon PSU still no sound. The favorites light would pulse as though it was receiving input but there was no out put from the pedal. Again the Flint sounded great, and I do have another BlueSky on order and trying to keep hopes up 2nd times the charm! Once I do get it if all is good I will put up some videos of it with the Prophet 08! More people need to use these pedals with synths too!
in the first half of this vid, I actually really like how far away the player is from the big sky. It shows how well this pedal dose in a situation where you select a preset and just play your flippin instrument. It's a realistic display of it's common real world use IMO.
Thank you. This was a very helpful demo. I especially thank you for putting the specific parameter settings you used across the bottom of the screen. Really well done.
So glad that you liked Peter's performance and the sounds that were created. Please tag us if you post any videos with your BigSky would love to hear them :D
As a Guitar Player - that is sometimes asked to play Synth parts - The Big Sky is Incredible. It blurs-the-line between Reverb Pedal and Synth Module ( with the additional effects I am combining ). It is a Total Inspiration Machine and the Customer Service / Tech Support from Strymon is Best in the Industry. - Michael - NYC -
Holy crap!! That doodlewanger he uses at about the 9 minute mark lets you play slide on keyboards! I've never seen that before...what a fantastic idea. Beeeyutiful!!!
I've always had a hot spot for Nord keyboards :-) but when you linked that little Korg Volca Keys with the Strymon, it nearly blew me away :-o bloody 'ell mate that was brilliant :-) I've just subscribed to you channel........thank you for the demo :-) . Glen :-)
This video together with this amazing sound is completely hypnotic. My Circuit ships with - what I thought initially - awesome delay effects but this is a whole other wth-did-this-amazing-sound-come-from level. Would love to see a performance combining the bigsky and deco.
Prophet 12, Big Sky reverb and Peter Dyers playing. Amazing ! I think this pedal will be my next purchase. Definitely intend to use with my Keyboards :)
Damn this machine! You know when you've eaten half a pot of Haagen Dazs, and you convince yourself you're going to put it back in the freezer to finish tomorrow, but you go back half an hour later, full of excuses? This damn video keeps calling me back!! I sit here telling myself "You can get the same affect using VSTs ", but this is so 'hands on' and MASSIVE sounding! This video is SO inspiring, it's like Salted caramel ice cream for my ears! You knew what you were doing, getting this guy in, you sneaky Strymon guys!
Great unit !! The quality of sound qualifies it to be something more than just a stomp pedal, if you add USB it could it be integrated with a computer based DAW for recording ? I need to use it with my pro tools
I'm glad that you enjoy the BigSky reverb pedal! If you have an audio interface, you can connect the outputs of the BigSky to the interface for direct recording. Or, you can use a MIDI interface from the computer to control the pedal via MIDI.
I was on the fence about getting this for some guitar work I was doing.... When I saw what it can do with synths, I am no longer on the fence... I will be picking one up next week.

Þórarinn Sveinsson please post a video showing your skills. Thx
I like rambling though.
I don’t mind a little rambling, but can’t stand when someone punches up one arpeggiation on a synth and lets it run for 20 minutes.
I know right! : )
Wow. An effects pedal demo using a synthesizer. Very rare and much needed. Thanks. Everybody raves about this Big Sky Reverb.
+Steven Streight Thanks so much. We have quite a few synth players over here, so makes us happy to be able to provide these videos.
Matt Damon, you are amazing...this pedal is crazy. Imagine this with a chorus pedal too. Oh my sweet Jesus...I'm blown away.
Strymon should partner with Dave Smith to put some real effects on the next product he comes out with.
That's brilliant!
+1000!!
Both companies use Sharc DSP processing
I would be soo keen.

dunno i really think the dsi gear is overpriced and sub par given what else is available.
I'd like to hear what is that your comparing the DSI to? Yes there are other ones out there that can do more stuff and are maybe even cheaper but I wouldn't call DSI sub par.
Where can I buy that? You know what I mean... The talent.
Work hard,and don't have a girl.You know what i mean
tbh with those skills u get the girls ;-)

Thank you! I really love demos with synths and not just guitars, since that's what I use effects for. Also, Peter's playing is really fantastic. :)
+djshiva We completely agree about Peter :) Thank you so much, glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
I'm so in love with this promotional video.. lol. I regularly come back and watch what he did with the Pedal. I want to sound like that. And just the fact that there is no talking, just explained settings and music.. Thank you for doing it this way!
Thank you :) Peter Dyer is super talented!
Strymon BigSky makes all synthesizers to the best.
4:45 is where it's at.
Sells not only the Big Sky to me, but the Nord, too.
is that a song? the one on 4:45
Sounds like Radiohead - In Limbo
RowdyRestlessRaven Thanks!! Sounds Great
he's not actually playing the song, bit it sounds a bit similar ! c:
RowdyRestlessRaven Yeah i figured :P
This guy and Andy from ProGuitarShops need to form a band.
Mike hermans!
God damnit Strymon.
I just spent over 2K on new gear, when I really shouldn't have. Now you're making me try to justify another $500.... so lush.
research before you buy
no I didn't mean I wasted it.. I mean I really shouldve spent my money on responsible life kinda things like bills and such

is this device made of unicorn tears? sooo.......beautiful........
We promise no unicorns were harmed in the making of this :D
No it is not made from Unicorn Tears. It is made from Sea Horse Dreams.
@@strymon tears of joy then?

I just said the same exact thing without looking at your comment...
Matt Damon
I was here 8 months ago, but I miss my boy Matty Dame. I like this guys melodies though.

What a beast that Prophet 12 is.

I had never seen or heard a Theravox before. My life has changed...I need one!
Me too. Going to look it up right now
Sequential Prophet 12 from 0:01
Nord (?) from 1:10
Korg Volca Keys from: 5:10
Arturia Microbrute from: 6:53
Therevox ET 4.3 from 8:25
I love people who post time stamps, thanks!
Great video on so many levels
I love tinkering with gear, and I can respect other musicians who love to mess around with gear the same way.
This is so fucking awesome.
big sky will stay in the history of music,one of the best device ever made!!great job strymon!
+MANTRA 5 Thank you so much! Always love seeing/listening to your great videos.
Thanks for taking a minute to watch- I really do appreciate any feedback and comments!

Amazing !..I am convinced that this pedal will do the same with my old Yamaha keyboard..lol. :-) Thanks for this video ! .:-)
@7:15 Pink Floyd. Best reverb pedal Ever. Endless amount of creative possibilities
Fantastic demo of a fantastic reverb unit!!!! Amazing sound!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!!!!
love that murky jazz piano sound at 1:45!
Has the old time, "remember when..." vibe. Love it when a musician can bring up a time gone by or coming in from the future.
Great demo Strymon and Peter!
Sounds excellent with the ET-4.3, but I could be a bit biased :)
Say what you wanna say, but this reverb is among the very best in the world.. Astonishing
Thanks for sharing this, now i need one!
the demo that made me pull the trigger.
+freetimeprojex Appreciate you sharing that with us :) Thank you!
By the grace of-...
The second patch was amazing. Chills everywhere.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again, for a video with ALL PLAY AND NO F----ING TALK!!!! Bravo Strymon guys :D Great sounding unit!
+Jonathan K Thanks! Glad to hear you liked it :D
When I grow up, I want a Big Sky. Best damned reverb I ever heard.
1:54 he's thinking "damnnnnnnnnnnn this sounds good"
What he did at 8:09 with the attack and release to simulate sidechain compression just blew my mind.
ikr?
This is THE demo that sold so many big sky's! Including mine! One product that's as good as the demo suggests!
So glad that you liked Peter's performance and the sounds that were created. Please tag us if you post any videos with your BigSky would love to hear them :D

Gotta get my hands on one of these! Would go wonderfully with my synth collection honestly!
Strymon is the Leica, Apple, and Ferrari of the effects market!
ever heard of eventide
@@christopherpederson1021 Seems like people enter a "Black Hole" in that area :)
NAaaaa lexicon is
@@quickstrike209 Lexicon needs to put out something new and noteworthy. They have lost a lot of market share to Strymon and software reverbs.
That cloud reverb is amazing
8:27 That's the best sounding musical mosquito I've ever heard!
Those big strings... very cinematic and wonderful!
10:00 is what it sounds like when you enter heaven
gorgeous. I love the way he plays. FX sound great
I love the Cloud sounds with the Prophet 12. So electric!
Holy crap!! That doodlewanger he uses at about the 9 minute mark lets you play slide on keyboards! I've never seen that before...what a fantastic idea. Beeeyutiful!!!
is this just him improving? I'd listen to all of those songs
This was all Peter Dyer improving :)
PLEASE Strymon, build a multi-fx rack version of your pedals!! They are so friggin great but also really a mess on a producer desk :/
Thanks for the feedback. We can't guarantee anything, but we are always happy to note what would be of interest. Will pass along your feedback :D
strymon i second that.. a multi-fx version would be a rock solid selection for any keyboardist
strymon I would choose a Strymon Multi-Effects option over my Apollo in a heartbeat. Even if it's twice as expensive.
even if not a multi, (half?) rack versions of their individual effects would be brilliant!
I bought this pedal based solely on this demo video. Great work showcasing the pedal's wide range of effects.
Thanks! We are super lucky that Peter Dyer was up for demoing :)
Wow....thank you for this gorgeous demo.
Love the nod to Radiohead
Prophet 12 and Big Sky are a match made in heaven
I've always had a hot spot for Nord keyboards :-) but when you linked that little Korg Volca Keys with the Strymon, it nearly blew me away :-o bloody 'ell mate that was brilliant :-)
I've just subscribed to you channel........thank you for the demo :-)
.
Glen :-)
+Glenfiddich101 Thanks so much! Peter is very talented. Highly recommend checking out his band The Grand Scheme.
the first 40 seconds reminded me of the music from this guy Lorn
I thought the same, confirm Peter Dyer strymon?
wow what a beautiful reverb sound
Best reverb ever OH MY GOD
sounds great, I love the sound of the magneto reverb, probably my favourite
the bloom reverb he plays at the start is incredible. I bought this pedal not so long ago and intend to use it for my music :D
Really a well done video. Not only considering that reverb but also that Prophet 12.
I'm seriously diggin the sound at 3.00 WOW
This sounds lovely
Thanks for the demo on the brute!
Problem is I brought a Visual Sound Dual Tap Delay.(it was cheaper)
Absolutely amazing
Wow great demo ! I need this reverb :)
maaaan that 2nd Brute patch is so nice! I need to try and figure that one out.... never got my Minibrute to sound like that
Beautiful reverb. I start saving money now!
great synth choices to demo with the bigsky
I can't decide between the Night Sky and the Big Sky, now. This looks easier to use. Awesome!
This video together with this amazing sound is completely hypnotic. My Circuit ships with - what I thought initially - awesome delay effects but this is a whole other wth-did-this-amazing-sound-come-from level. Would love to see a performance combining the bigsky and deco.
+Glossy Hooks Thanks so much and thanks for the suggestion. I'll pass that along to the team for a future video consideration :D
Great synths, playing and effects. 3 times the love! :-)
Breathtakingly beautiful!
Such an amazing demo, what a talent
damn, wish i had that pedal. and damn, wish i had that guy in my band.
Prophet 12, Big Sky reverb and Peter Dyers playing. Amazing !
I think this pedal will be my next purchase. Definitely intend to use with my Keyboards :)
+Vic DeMarzo Awesome. If you post any videos after your BigSky arrives, please tag us :D Would love to see/hear them.
+strymon Will do. In no way will it compare to Peter Dyers playing . I only wish I played that well.
Wow, I'm not even the synth guy at all but this vibe is just amazing!
this is called heaven
the best reverb i ever heard! Great
Damn this machine!
You know when you've eaten half a pot of Haagen Dazs, and you convince yourself you're going to put it back in the freezer to finish tomorrow, but you go back half an hour later, full of excuses? This damn video keeps calling me back!!
I sit here telling myself "You can get the same affect using VSTs ", but this is so 'hands on' and MASSIVE sounding! This video is SO inspiring, it's like Salted caramel ice cream for my ears!
You knew what you were doing, getting this guy in, you sneaky Strymon guys!
+LFOVCF Ha ha! Not only do I love your comment, I'm now craving some ice cream!! :D
I'm back. Bald, 5 stone heavier, teeth gone rotten, and a stomach ulcer.....is it time to get a Bigsky yet?
Oh no, too much ice cream? ;D Always time for a BigSky!
Mind blowing demo!
On my list. Such an amazing box.
Great unit !! The quality of sound qualifies it to be something more than just a stomp pedal, if you add USB it could it be integrated with a computer based DAW for recording ? I need to use it with my pro tools
I'm glad that you enjoy the BigSky reverb pedal! If you have an audio interface, you can connect the outputs of the BigSky to the interface for direct recording. Or, you can use a MIDI interface from the computer to control the pedal via MIDI.
Love this demos
I was on the fence about getting this for some guitar work I was doing.... When I saw what it can do with synths, I am no longer on the fence... I will be picking one up next week.
Very cool. Please share when your BigSky arrives :D
Truly inspiring video, great job and great box!
Thanks so much! :D
9:00 that's honestly the most beautiful thing I have ever heard
Reverb is LIKE BACON! 🥓 It is tasty on nearly everything. 🥓
finally a synth bigsky demo...
Please stop making everything I want to sell sound so good!
Awesome. Cheap at the price given how musical it is. Mine's already on order.
