®
computers to allow you to import 3rd-party reverb IR files, expand, and
manage BigSky MX’s onboard Impulse library� To use Nixie 2:
• Connect BigSky MX to your computer's USB port and launch Nixie 2�
• Click the IR Manager button from the Nixie 2 - Parameter Panel at the
bottom of the screen�
• At the top of the BIGSKY MX panel, click the New Folder button to create
at least one custom folder into which can import your IR files�
• Within the MAC MEMORY or WINDOWS MEMORY panel at the left of the
IR Manager window, browse to the folder where your reverb IR files are
stored on your computer�
• Select the IR file(s) you wish to import and drag and drop into your
custom folder within the right BIGSKY MX panel�*
• You can also create additional folders and drag individual IRs and folders
within the BIGSKY MX panel to move and arrange them however you like�
*NOTE: For import of IR files, BigSky MX will accept mono or stereo
�WAV files, 16 or 24 bit, and 48kHz sample rate� Upon import, Nixie 2 will
conform IRs to the native format (stereo, 24-bit, 48kHz)�
• When you next enter the BigSky MX pedal's Impulse parameter menu,
you'll have access to your added custom IRs and folders�
NOTE: If you delete a custom IR file from the Nixie 2 BIGSKY MX panel that is
in use within a saved preset, you'll see NO IMPULSE indicated on the pedal's
display when loading the preset, and the preset will load with the Impulse
reverb inactive� Load a different Impulse or use the Nixie 2 IR Manager to
re-import the missing IR file to update the preset�
TIP! To restore all BigSky MX Factory Impulses, you can perform a complete
Factory Reset—see page 16� This action will DELETE all existing IR files
from BigSky MX and restore the original Factory IRs. Note that a Factory
Reset will restore all factory presets and Global Settings as well�
