I don’t think of ‘electronics’ as one element and ‘orchestra’ as another – it’s important to me that both sides fit together perfectly to create a beautiful tapestry without any seams. To me, electronic sound is another part of my aural palette. How does that focus on electronics play into your scoring work nowadays? I completed my Master’s degree at the school in 2008 and taught there from 2008-2011. One of my earliest jobs in LA was as a professor of electronic music at UCLA. You were teaching electronic music, correct? Today, you’re an award winner composer, but you started out as more of a technologist. It’s great to have a plugin that sounds just as good as hardware. The sound engine itself and the quality of the oscillators and sub-oscillators is exceptional. I think it’s important for a plugin to invite users to make mistakes and try daring things, and the new interface does exactly that.
It definitely took a moment for my eyes and fingers to adjust, but once I understood the new look, the plugin was more approachable than ever. Did it take much time to get used to MASSIVE X? You were previously using the original MASSIVE. My demo is actually all based on this one preset, just multiple instances of Massive X with different settings of modulation and pitch bend. But I also wanted to make sure that the most accessible controllers – pitch bend and modulation – could create dramatic differences in timbre and shape so that the sound could be very flexible and evocative.

I wanted to create a patch that could be used right away and inspire creativity. Can you tell us the inspiration behind the patch ? Listen to Joseph’s patch below, download it for yourself, then read on to find out how it was made and get some insights on film and TV work from Joseph himself.
Add in some pitch-wheel movement and it’s possible to go from subtle wobbles to detuned dive-bombs.

The result, One Patch to Rule Them All, looks relatively simple at first glance, but its secrets are revealed as soon as you touch the mod and pitch wheels.Īll the way up, the mod wheel delivers a spaced-out-yet-subdued saw-wave pad, and at the other end of it’s travel, you’ll find a bright FM lead with a sharp attack – plus there’s a whole spectrum of interesting tones to be found between those extremes. So, given his wealth of experience in the world of film music, we thought we’d invite Joseph to bring some of that Hollywood magic to MASSIVE X by way of a free patch.
He also scored the NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton and recent Netflix sci-fi Project Power. LA-based film and TV composer Joseph Trapanese is known for high profile collaborations he worked alongside Daft Punk on the Tron: Legacy soundtrack, with Mike Shinoda on the Raid series, and with M83 on multiple projects.
