How To Synth Up the E.T. Theme

Espen Kraft

"Who else loves the E.T. soundtrack?
I've always felt strongly connected to this score and imo John Williams is a musical genius and he has the ability to connect what we see on the screen to the music he makes for it in a very emotional way. Very inspiring.

I wanted to make a little "synth" thing of the classic E.T. theme and mix that with some orchestral sounds, like the french horns.

Gear used:
Roland JX-8P - synth sounds
Roland Alpha Juno 2 - synth sounds
Roland S-10 - Bass
Yamaha DX7s - Electric Piano
Drums are coming off different drum machines
Orchestral sounds coming from Kontakt."

Video Manual: Synthesis Technology E520 Hyperion Processor

Learning Modular

"This is a video manual I created with the help of Synthesis Technology for their new E520 stereo Eurorack-format Hyperion Processor. It features both updates of a number of classic effects, as well as new frequency and time domain processing tricks, all while keeping a very flat menu with a small number of powerful parameters – most of which have dedicated knobs and voltage control. Below is an index to the features:

01:12 front panel controls & connections
01:51 audio connections
02:33 Auxiliary output

11:22 High Pass and Low Pass Filters
11:55 saving a Preset
12:46 Top menu
13:04 module-wide Patches
13:32 Preferences (including display options, Input/Output Levels, and Feedback Limiter)
15:17 SD card “whole module” save & load
15:23 UI colors
15:48 Utilities (scope, tuner, and more)
16:07 Dual Mono algorithm
16:15 conclusion

*Note that this video was shot using pre-production hardware and firmware (v.13 and .14). It was very close to the final version both, so shipping units should behave the same (with the exception that I set the display background color from blue to black to make it easier to read on video). Firmware updates beyond version 1.0 will of course introduce changes not covered in this video.

Roland Jupiter XM System 8 2 Jupiter Groove ZENcore Synthesizer Rik Marston

Rik Marston Official

"The Roland Jupiter-Xm & System-8 in SYNC via MIDI!
Both synths are using Roland Jupiter-8 patches & sound GREAT!
The System-8 is MIDI Master & sending ARPs to the Jupiter-Xm.
The IArpeggio is ON and in SYNC with the incoming MIDI data. :)
Just like the old school days, I'm tweaking filters "on the fly"
Many more videos are being filmed & are on their way!
STAY TUNED! :)

nyppy

"You can easily build this synth yourself (or buy it), see here: https://neutral-labs.com/elmyra/

This is a demonstration of the wide sonic palette possible with Elmyra. I'm using two of them in combination with various other synthesizers and effects units, such as Soma Lyra-8, Make Noise 0-coast, Tasty Chips GR-1, Moog DFAM and Mother-32, Elektron Digitakt and Analog Four, Mooer Ocean Machine, Jomox M-Resonator and a bunch of Eurorack modules.

If you're interested in a panel + PCB set, kit or build, let me know."
