Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

BigSky MX is a stereo reverb workstation built around 12 reverb machines, including seven new algorithms and upgraded existing ones. It can run two reverbs at once in Serial, Parallel, or Split arrangements, with independent panning for each reverb when placing effects across the stereo field. Alongside algorithmic reverbs, it plays and fully edits impulse responses; 22 are preloaded. Its dedicated Infinite/Freeze footswitch sustains a reverb trail for continuous pads or momentary swells.

Who this is for
