Strymon NightSky — MIDI Editor & CC Reference

Control the Strymon NightSky from your browser — full MIDI CC reference for 25 parameters, interactive editor, and AI-generated presets. Free, no install.

Nitelite gives the NightSky a full browser-based control surface: turn every knob, flip every switch, describe the tone you want to the AI Tone Terminal, and save the results — all sent to the pedal live over MIDI (default channel 1). Works free in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave — no install required.

Knobs

ControlMIDI CCDescription
LENGTHCC 18Reverb decay time from less than one second to nearly infinite sustain
SIZE/PITCHCC 20Reverb core size — also controls pitch when audio is in the buffer
REVERBCC 11Output level of the reverberated signal
DRYCC 12Output level of the dry signal (min=silent, noon=unity, max=+3dB boost)
SPEEDCC 13Modulation rate from 0.06Hz (16s sweep) to 12Hz (0.08s sweep)
DEPTHCC 15Modulation amount (off at minimum; for envelope shape, off at 12 o'clock)
LOW CUTCC 22Removes low end from output and regenerating core as knob is turned clockwise
HIGH CUTCC 23Removes high frequencies from reverb — behavior set by Filter mode
INTERVALCC 26Shimmer pitch interval from -octave to +octave (12=detune, 13=+detune)
SHIMMERCC 29Amount of shimmer effect (off at minimum)
PRE-DELAYCC 17Time between dry signal and reverb onset
GLIMMER GAINCC 31Sensitivity of the glimmer effect to the input signal
DRIVE LEVELCC 34Sensitivity of the drive effect
LOWPASS QCC 25Filter Q / resonance sharpness when Filter is set to lowpass
SEQ GLIDECC 58Portamento smoothing between sequencer steps
MORPH SPEEDCC 37Time to sweep between current and morph settings

Special MIDI Functions

  • Expression — CC 100
  • Freeze — CC 35. Freezes the reverb tail — holds the current reverb indefinitely while bypassing new input to the reverb core.
  • Morph — CC 36. Engages Morph — sweeps from the current preset settings to the saved Morph destination at the rate set by MORPH SPEED.
  • Sequence Mode — CC 41. Switches between Preset mode (0) and Sequence mode (1–127). In Sequence mode the 8-step sequencer drives SIZE/PITCH.
  • Sequencer Step 1 On/Off — CC 42. Enables or disables step 1 of the 8-step sequencer.
  • Sequencer Step 2 On/Off — CC 43. Enables or disables step 2 of the 8-step sequencer.
  • Sequencer Step 3 On/Off — CC 44. Enables or disables step 3 of the 8-step sequencer.
  • Sequencer Step 4 On/Off — CC 45. Enables or disables step 4 of the 8-step sequencer.
  • Sequencer Step 5 On/Off — CC 46. Enables or disables step 5 of the 8-step sequencer.
  • Sequencer Step 6 On/Off — CC 47. Enables or disables step 6 of the 8-step sequencer.
  • Sequencer Step 7 On/Off — CC 48. Enables or disables step 7 of the 8-step sequencer.
  • Sequencer Step 8 On/Off — CC 49. Enables or disables step 8 of the 8-step sequencer.
  • MIDI Expression On/Off — CC 60. Enables MIDI expression pedal control via CC 100. When on, an expression pedal connected via MIDI can sweep parameters in real time.
  • MIDI Clock On/Off — CC 63. Enables MIDI clock sync. When on, NightSky syncs its modulation and sequencer timing to incoming MIDI clock.
  • Bank Select — CC 0. Selects the MIDI preset bank. Bank 0 = presets 0–127, Bank 1 = 128–255, Bank 2 = 256–299. Send before a Program Change to access banks 1 and 2.
  • Sequencer Step 1 Size — CC 50. SIZE/PITCH value for sequencer step 1 — sets the pitch interval played when this step is active.
  • Sequencer Step 2 Size — CC 51. SIZE/PITCH value for sequencer step 2.
  • Sequencer Step 3 Size — CC 52. SIZE/PITCH value for sequencer step 3.
  • Sequencer Step 4 Size — CC 53. SIZE/PITCH value for sequencer step 4.
  • Sequencer Step 5 Size — CC 54. SIZE/PITCH value for sequencer step 5.
  • Sequencer Step 6 Size — CC 55. SIZE/PITCH value for sequencer step 6.
  • Sequencer Step 7 Size — CC 56. SIZE/PITCH value for sequencer step 7.
  • Sequencer Step 8 Size — CC 57. SIZE/PITCH value for sequencer step 8.
  • Sequence Tap — CC 93. Taps the sequencer tempo — send any value to advance the tap tempo for the sequencer rate.

Hardware Presets

The NightSky has 300 hardware preset slots. Nitelite can save your current settings to a slot and recall slots via MIDI program change.
