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”.
