~ Pluto's Moons Pt. 3 - Nix / feat. Dark Star Stereo ~
This is part three of my tracks with the Modern Sounds Pluto semimodular synthesizer dedicated to every single sound modifier named after Pluto's five moons Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra.
This track is featuring Nix. Nix is one of the smaller of Pluto’s moons and its dimensions are about 49.8 × 33.2 × 31.1 km.
Nix was discovered in May 2005 by Hal Weaver and a large team of astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope.
Nix is named after the goddess of darkness and night, and she is the mother of Charon, the ferryman of Hades in Greek mythology.
Initially being named Nyx, the writing was later on changed to Nix, because the name Nyx was already used for a an asteroid.
In this track I used the new Dark Star Stereo reverb from Old Blood Noise Endeavors for the first time.
Further effects pedals involved are the PastFx PX-101 Low Pass Filter, the Chase Bliss Reverse Mode C and the Eventide Space Reverb (Darkmatter/Blackhole algorithm).
Pluto's Nix is modifying voice 2/sequence 2. Voice 1 is played with Pluto's "keyboard".
The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star is my favourite effects pedal since years for more dark and mysterious pad reverb sounds.
The new v3 version in stereo is a fantastic upgrade to this classic pedal.
The amazing designs on both pedals of Dark Star v2 and v3 are from Jon Carling.
Single track stereo recording, no overdubbing.
All audio and video material and mastering by The Pedalboard Orchestra.

"Lossyfication" is about my first use of the beautiful Lossy pedal from Chase Bliss. It is a collaboration between Goodhertz, who created the Lossy plugin, and Chase Bliss.
