I am not a keyboardist in any right, I have never really had much interest in it at all. BUT....This video was absolutely amazing in showing the how the music was composed. Huge props to Reverb and the the folks who put this together. This is how you inspire people to become musicians!
I totally agree with you. I'm a huge fan of the eighties and I love all these synth sounds. This guy was able to reproduce the original sounds from Survive with an extreme accuracy. Big up for Reverb.com !
What I really loved about the Stranger Things soundtrack was how pure the synth sounds were... as evidenced by how easily you recreated the songs with simple settings on a Juno and Prophet-5. Just classic sounds that really did their job of evoking the 80s horror/adventure feel
hell yes, nothing can compare to that sound nothing! never ever has been a better combo then the 80s horrors and music ,its just like coke and pizza , u cant miss
The whole soundtrack was done this way. Those guys have a room absolutely full of synthesizers, it looks like very little production/processing was done, it's pretty much raw. Pretty awesome.
Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein used analog and modular synths to compose the soundtracks to the show, so it gives it that true 80’s Sci-Fi/horror/adventure feel. I have always loved the soundtracks for the show.
Great video and explanations. Amazing synths too. I just got a Juno 6 and love it, but that Prophet 5 is incredible. Maybe one day I'll have a spare 5k! I had a track of mine used in Stranger Things. It's a jazz arrangement of " Deck the halls" and it plays for about 30 seconds on the shop tanoy in episode 2 whilst Winona Ryder is getting a replacement telephone. I love that show, so was pretty chuffed to have even a miniscule link to it.
Finally. someone that explains things well, is well spoken and really knows their shit without coming off like a synth snob. Just enjoyable to watch. I subbed because of the tone of the video and how thorough he was, not to mention the awesome detailed description below the video. Bravo man.
Dude. I was literally shaking in how much I wanted those synths. You can do exactly the same thing nowadays, but it’s not the same. Those synths have physical knobs that you’re turning. You can get much more connected to the music. They are beautiful pieces of equipment. They could be art in themselves.
Can't tell you how many times I've watched (or at least begun to watch and never quite got past few mins) videos deconstructing a songs or artist sound and it's been far from close or useful. This was a rarity, really nailed it and the presentation of the workflow and fundamentals were top notch. Great job Reverb\Justin. Keep up the good work.
They gave an interview explaining what they used. The arpeggio was hand-played on an Oberheim 2-voice. The bass is a Roland SH-2, the pads are a Prophet 5. 👍
i fell in love with Synthesizers the day i discovered Depeche Mode and Enigma back in the later eighties. As a teenager, i was so awed by all the cool sounds that it could create that’s only limited by your level of expression and know how. Unfortunately, my mom gave my brother the piano lessons and there was almost no way i could afford even the cheapest synth unless i skipped school to serve burgers and fries. Well, the electric guitar was much more accessible and heavy metal seduced me and won! This is so cool, thanks for sharing!
My brother and I had a keyboard in the 80s. It was SO fun to make that kind of music. I had another bigger keyboard in the 90s. Totally entertaining. We both play by ear.
Glued to the screen for 15 minutes. That was awesome. Full-on nostalgia waves for me once those synths started communicating emotions. Seen the video a dozen times by now, but the point in the Castle Byers part where the Moog is booming and the Juno comes in with the shimmering pad still gives me goosebumps.
Growing up in the 80s, watching movies and TV, I knew the power of music in transporting a viewer - ME! That *synth sound* drove the emotional impact of many scenes, and now watching Stranger Things, the music triggers goosebumps and a very odd nostalgia surrounding my youth. This video opened my eyes to the creation of the music behind the "goosebumps and chills".
The more i see your videos wth the prophet 5 and the Juno 6 the more i do love my Roland Juno 60 and my Prophet 5. When i bought those two analog synthesizer and others for some years ago the digital synthesizers where in. Everybody sold theire analog stof for buying the digital synthesizers. Today the digital stuf is less in and the analog synthesizers are back. I love it!!!!!!! Now almost everybody wants the old analog synthesizers.
The Volca FM has an arpeggiator/chorus/step sequencer and the ability to automate though, the only limitations I find it has are the three voices and the inability to have velocity go in via a controller (fixed with a special cable by retrokits). It actually sounds identical to the DX7 with a little bit of tweaking for each preset too, so I honestly don't see how other than the voices the DX7 is superior. The pricing on it makes it a serious piece of kit too.
I've loved these types of sounds for years, but finally watching Stranger Things tipped me over the edge. I totally want to mess with this kind of equipment. Unfortunately, my technical know-how and wallet are both pretty pathetic, so I'm pretty hopeless. Perhaps one day! Excellent video! It's so inspiring
This video was indeed awesome! Not only you got to the very depth of how the soundtrack was created, you actually made me relive the experience of the movie! I start to think that music was the most considerable part (if not the crucial one) to create that feel the series had. Thank you very much!
@@translila He could've been putting things in terms for a general audience. Maybe he knows what a C maj7 is but doesn't want to use musical terminology.
Also is it just me or did he play it really awkwardly? I feel like it would have been a thousand times simpler to just play C major7 in the left hand and the top C with right hand instead of crossing them for no reason.
@@captainvoluntaryistthestat3207 they dont. human input is much of what also makes it sound analog, software is 99% of the time quantized and programmed to play midis
@@theeltea When you are recording analog synths, the curve you increase the filter at isn't linear, the notes arent played perfectly in time. Most producers using software click in notes on a grid and experiment way less because the knobs arent in front of them, I think this contributes to the 'analog sound'
This soundtrack really gives the perfect 80s vibes to the stranger things .. it just take you back to those years and you feel yourself more into the series ... The soundtrack is just nostalgic !! I loved it!
Took a few hours, but I was able to replicate these sounds on my Yamaha S80 synth. No need to rush on to eBay and start placing bids on vintage synths, the newer stuff can do it too. Thanks for the video, loved it.
I owned a Roland JXP 3 way back, the Soundscore patch was awe-inspiring. Used to covet the Juno 106 and Ensoniq SQ80 for their tweakability. Now VSTi's have made things so much more accessible and much more powerful potential for stacking synths without MIDI cable nightmares. But there is not that romance. Great video, thanks!
I love the second track in this video. I remember watching the series and being amazingly impressed by that track in particular. It went exactly where I expected and wanted it to!
This is awesome! This is cool to see the sequence being done on original synthesizers. When I recreated it on my channel, I managed to make all of the same sounds using the built-in keyboard and synthesizers that come with GarageBand. It's interesting to think of the concepts of how this song is composed and this video really breaks it down well for people on how each track and major synth is composed. Nice job!
Sure but if you have an iOS device you can get pretty darn close with Garageband Alchemy. And if you really get into it there are a whole bunch of synth addicts who can help you out on the audiobus forums.
when he was playing the theme it tore my heart and my ocd that he didnt play the you know "duh, duh" from the end... now I gotta go listen to the full thing.
In a recent Vanity Fair video the composers of stranger things point out that the theme song was not made on a Juno or with an arpeggio (The one who made it doesn't even own a Juno). It was made on a Oberheim
@@JDee-bp1pz you're the one who needs to chill. Look at you getting all triggered at me just pointing out that they could have easily explained that a c major chord with a b on top was called a Major 7th chord. Since this video is purposefully explaining the music within Stranger Things, there is not really a reason for the guy to oversimplify it when it can easily be taught to viewers.
In step edit programming we don't use voicing nomenclature as we do with traditional notation, the arpeggio sequence top note could have easily been any other note hence "B on top is correct for a top-down 10 step arpeggio sequence.
The Juno-106 came out after the Jupiter-6, which had midi, presets and arpeggio. The Jupiter-6 was my first synthesizer. I created many experiments in sound on that synth. I was even able to record in an un-acoustically padded movie theater. The textures I created in that theater were awesome. I was a pioneer but thought no one else would appreciate what I was creating. So the muse eventually faded away... Until soft-synth. Then all I needed was a MIDI keyboard and a computer that had Reason installed. I have found memories of the old school synthesizer, but I felt it was time to move on.
Awesome ! It was no mystery to me from the beginning that the success of Stranger Things was also in part to its awesome soundtrack ...! Cool video , thanks !
Watching this got me really into analogue synths. I then found the video Justin did as well on the Korg Monologue and, well, now I own one! Thanks for the influence, Justin!
Thank you so damn much for this and the project package in Ableton. I've been stuck in basic bitch solo patterns and needed a way to try to branch out and get more layers and tracks in my stuff. The package really helps to know what the hell I need to do. Thanks

reverb does such a great job of providing content that makes me want to go to the site even when i am not looking to buy gear and then since i am on the site, i end up buying gear. it is terribly effective but terrible for me and my wallet.
What was innovative about the Junos wasn't polyphony, there were already many in the market. The Junos brought polyphony at an affordable price for the first time, the other polys were super expensive.
Brings back memories of life in the 80's when the family would gather up and tune in to our favorite show together with a brown grocery bag of oily popcorn that mom cooked over the stove ( no microwave back then). Also...check out both intros to V the series, very interesting intros as well.
Netflix: Skip intro? Me: Hell no

This main theme makes me feel a sad nostalgia, a little fear, expectation and a weird satisfaction from it all. I love it.
Kind of the opposite of how I feel when I watch the show.
Same, weird feeling.
"DeLay" is a good last name for a guy who's into synths.
He was destined for this, clearly. :)
As was Aleph Oh, Ossie Later, Lopez and Lowen Filta, and C. Quenza.
Check out the channel 'Delay' with host Chuck Reverb and his backup guy Justin Case.

Likewise!

What awsome sounds from synthetizers. Totally underrated by the modern composers outside of the movie industry.
reverb does such a great job of providing content that makes me want to go to the site even when i am not looking to buy gear and then since i am on the site, i end up buying gear. it is terribly effective but terrible for me and my wallet.
Thanks for the lesson. Can't say I've ever been able to sit through a whole synth video, ever. You had my complete attention. \m/
I would like a video like this but for the Mr Robot soundtrack.
and a video for the Knick soundtrack... RIP :(
Different Strokes, also has some cutting-edge theme music.
Tony White the Knick was by Cliff Martinez and he mostly uses Omnisphere software so that's a good start.
I just bought a synth and I am soooooo excited to try this
What was innovative about the Junos wasn't polyphony, there were already many in the market. The Junos brought polyphony at an affordable price for the first time, the other polys were super expensive.
Well said, thanks!
Don't forget the Korg Polysix!
Isn't it just a crazy fact in retrospect that a feature as simple as polyphony used to be prohibitively expensive?
You had polyphony much earlier on String synthesizers, still I don't think these instruments were as cheap either.
The first polyphonic synth, the Polymoog was $8,000
Brings back memories of life in the 80's when the family would gather up and tune in to our favorite show together with a brown grocery bag of oily popcorn that mom cooked over the stove ( no microwave back then). Also...check out both intros to V the series, very interesting intros as well.
Oh man, I love Mass Effect!
Have you seen Blade Runner? ;)
