Control the Strymon Riverside from your browser — full MIDI CC reference for 8 parameters, interactive editor, and AI-generated presets. Free, no install.

Nitelite gives the Riverside 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.

Special MIDI Functions

  • Expression — CC 100
  • Boost On/Off — CC 18. Toggles the analog boost circuit on or off. Requires an external footswitch connected to the BOOST jack (in Boost Switch Mode) or can be controlled directly via MIDI.
  • MIDI Expression On/Off — CC 60. Enables or disables Riverside's response to incoming MIDI Expression messages (CC #100). Turn off when sharing a MIDI channel with other pedals to prevent unintended expression control.
  • Volume Pedal — CC 7. Controls the output volume level via MIDI expression. Use when EXP jack is configured for Volume Mode and you want MIDI control instead of a physical pedal.
  • Boost Level — CC 17. Sets the amount of post-gain analog boost, from 0 dB (fully counter-clockwise) up to +6 dB (fully clockwise). Saved globally across Manual, Favorite, and Bypass settings.
  • Noise Gate Threshold — CC 22. Sets the noise reduction threshold. 0 = off (no noise reduction). Increasing the value raises the threshold, taming hum and buzz during quiet passages. Saved per-preset.

Hardware Presets

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