Strymon releases BigSky MX firmware v2.02 with adaptive limiter
July 1, 2024 · 1 sources
The update adds an adaptive limiter and fixes an issue with parallel DUAL HALL presets1.
The release notes describe the limiter as a new feature "added to accommodate reverb buildup with extra-hot input signals"1. The fixed issue is one "where you would lose one side of a parallel DUAL HALL preset when using different VOICE for each"1.
"New adaptive limiter feature has been added to accommodate reverb buildup with extra-hot input signals."
The same notes list v2.02 between two other releases: v1.98, released May 2024, and v2.14, released June 20251. The v1.98 entry lists MIDI fixes, including responding to MIDI on all MIDI channels, no response to MIDI if receiving MIDI Clock at power-up, and the behavior of MIDI CCs 80, 81 and 82 at value 0 and value 127, which the notes say fixes Bank Up/Down and Infinite with those footswitch CCs1. The v2.14 entry lists a fix for line level input headroom and new MIDI Clock sync and TAP options for the Magneto algorithm1.
Strymon directs owners to its Strymon Update software to update the firmware on the pedal1. The notes give no price for the firmware, and the BigSky MX is a reverb pedal listed among the site's reverb pedals.
