Software Plugins and VSTs used by Tyler Joseph on Scaled And Icy

Synth Plugins

Arturia Buchla Easel V

Avg price: $149.00

In the song “No Chances” by twenty one pilots, you can hear various presets from this synthesizer emulation. The intro bass comes from the default patch titled: “Volt-Aged Piano”, the siren-type sound comes from the preset: Deckards Drone and an arp during the intro is from a preset called: “Cycling Rotation”. Given that Tyler has been seen with another plugin (Solina V) from Arturia, along with sounds from Jup-8 V, we can infer that he has this one too. This essentially confirms that Buchla Easel V is the source of many of the sounds on “No Chances”.

Synth Plugins

Arturia Jup-8 V4

Avg price: $149.00

Jup-8 V by Arturia makes an appearance on the song “Mulberry Street” in the second verse with a sound called “Warm and Dark”. It also appears on “No chances” with a bass sound called “Throttle Bass”. Tyler has previously been seen with another plugin from Arturia (Solina V) so it’s more than possible this is what Tyler used in “No Chances” and “Mulberry Street”.
