We are pleased to present a public beta of Nixie, the graphical backup librarian, organizer, and creative preset editor for TimeLine, BigSky, and Mobius.

Use it for instant, easy backups of your pedals, to organize and prepare for gigs, and create new presets and preset collections. You can drag and drop single presets or entire preset collections into the Nixie interface, and you can even drag presets directly from a web page into Nixie.

When editing or creating presets, Nixie gives you real-time feedback: turn a knob on your pedal, the same knob updates in Nixie, and vice versa. You can also have all your compatible pedals connected simultaneously to Nixie, so no re-patching is required when moving from one pedal to the next. You can even explore pedals not currently in your possession by using Nixie’s offline device feature.

How to Use Nixie

To connect your TimeLine, BigSky, or Mobius to the Nixie preset editor and librarian software, you need a MIDI to USB interface to connect from the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports of your pedal to your computer.

For more information on what Nixie can do and how it all works, read the Nixie FAQs.
