This complete package includes all of my Bigsky presets (15 in total). While you may need to tweak here and there if you want to nail a very specific reverb sound for a song, these will help you cover most modern worship songs without needing to continuously build new presets. For each type of reverb (swells excluded), there are 3 reverb stages/presets. This enables you to switch to various reverb stages within a song. As you go from preset 1 in a set to preset 3 (ex: going from Cloud 1 to Cloud 2 to Cloud 3), the reverb increases. In order to retain clarity, as the reverb increased, I tweaked various parameters such as predelay, decay, low end, modulation. Here are the types: Cloud:
- Cloud 1 WGB
- Cloud 2 WGB
- Cloud 3 WGB
Bloom:
- Bloom 1 WGB
- Bloom 2 WGB
- Bloom 3 WGB
Hall:
- Hall 1 WGB
- Hall 2 WGB
- Hall 3 WGB
Room:
- Room 1 WGB
- Room 2 WGB
- Room 3 WGB
Swells:
- Cloud Swell WGB
- Shimmer Swell WGB
- Dirty Swell WGB
In general, I’d recommend using more reverb for quiet or slower parts of songs with less gain when you want to fill more space (ie presets 2 or 3 in each set). On the other side, as you add gain or play more notes, you’ll want to reduce your reverb (ie going from preset 3 to 2 or 2 to 1). There are obviously exceptions, but this general rule will help you stand out in the mix and retain clarity. Directions for use: After downloading the file, unzip the file and then upload the presets into your Strymon Bigsky using a Midi cable and your Bigsky editor (such as Nixie). You’ll be all set to go!
