Reason 4 Tutorial - Thor as a Switchable Filter (a slightly advanced tutorial)

YouTube via SirSedricMusic.

via Resonant Filter

"This is a quick look at using the Thor Polysonic Synthesizer as a switchable filter inside a Combinator patch in Reason 4. To save time, I'm assuming you already know a thing or two about Reason;

1) You know how to create Combinators and assign Reason controls to hardware controls.

2) You know how to route devices within a Combinator.

3) You have a good understanding of the terminology associated with Reason.

If you don't know any of these things, do some searching. There are many great tutorials out there, and with a little patience you're sure to find some to get you started.

In this particular tutorial I'm using a ReDrum as the audio source for simplicities sake. I'm just trying to give everyone a good idea of the concept behind this so we can cover some more interesting and fun stuff in parts 2 and 3.

My apologies in advance for the noisy audio, I had to record this using my built-in mic. Future tutorials will have better audio, I promise.

Reason 4 Tutorial - Thor as a Programmable Filter (a slightly advanced tutorial) - Part 2 of 3

YouTube via SirSedricMusic

"This is Part 2 of 3 of my series on Thor. This video covers using Thor's extensive routing matrix to make really cool, switchable and programmable effects. I've made a patch that exercises some of your options when routing Thor, but the real power is in your brain. Once you know how to do things like this, you can take the time to make your own patches from scratch and really flourish in Reason.

I'm using a Subtractor mono synth, only running 1 oscillator and 1 LFO, turned stereo as the basis for my sound and all other modulation is done through Thor's routing matrix and Combinator button assignments. I've tried to provide the most detailed information I could find in the Annotations, so make sure you have those turned on for the full effect.

My blog and music website can be found here -

For those who bothered to read this much but not watch the whole video; part 3 will use Malstrom stereo synthesis and all 4 of Thor's inputs and outputs. Quadra-synth, tri-filter, trippy envelope goodness. Thanks for watching!"

VOYETRA 8 SYNTH WITH REV 4 SOFTWARE

via this auction
Note this is a re-listing of this auction. More shots and more info.
"Here's what Peter has to say: 9-11-09 'Your unit does contain the Rev 4 software which is better than the Rev 3 software, and that does make what you can call a 3.5, but this unit does not contain the Rev 4 digimod card. So, I think the best way to advertise this is as a Voyetra-Eight with Rev 3 hardware and Rev 4 software. You have all green circuit cards in this unit, which are the very best quality out of all the cards we produced back then. This is a good unit. If you want me to verify that with your potential buyer, have them call me. If they call me, I will present this unit in a very good light, because it really is very good. Remember, the only difference between a Rev 3 and a Rev 4 is that the Rev 4 is able to receive MIDI Pitch bend, MIDI Pressure, and MIDI Modulation wheel controllers. That is the only difference. This should be made clear to the buyer. Some people won’t care about these features. In fact, some will care more about the fact that it has the green circuit cards in it. This ensures more reliability.' Peter
Peter Lanzilotta Double-Take Studio Services peter DoubleTakeProAudio.com Office: (212) 685-7900 Fax: (212) 725-3806 Double-Take Studio Services Professional Audio Sales & Service

Also included in this complete collector's package is: VPK-5 keyboard for which I was offered $300 last year, but turned it down to make this a complete collector's dream. Before sending the Voyetra to Peter for grooming, I tested the VPK-5 with the module and got the keys working easily, however, the last 4 lowest keys rather lost tracking somewhat but there is no way for me to test it now to see if the issues were in the module or with the VPK-5 which will go as is with the complete package. I still have all the special 3-pin patch cords and, I believe but not guaranteed without further delay, some 3 pin to 6 pin midi patch cords, hence, recalling it to be a full version 4, but... hey, it's been a long time... long enough to qualify as Vintage Mint... Also offered with the complete collector's package: original foot pedal, the original packaging, Rsv 3 manual by Freff, separate REV 4 manual, an original promo brochure, 6 original loading cassette tapes, patch cords, and paperwork that came with, other paperwork pertaining to Rev 3 and Rev 4."

Roland SH-1000 Oscillator Waveform

YouTube via rolandsh1000
"Just a short video showing the oscillator of the Roland SH-1000, their first synthesizer. This synth is interesting because it uses a common organ Top Octave 6-stage Divider chip (LM3216) to create the oscillator waveforms. These chips are fed by a high frequency clock and they generate all the pitches of a musical octave (ignore what I say in the video about the signal outputs being footages). These are then divided down for lower pitch generation and, to create various waveforms, the various divided-down signals are mixed via resistor and capacitor networks to shape various oscillator waves.

In this video, I focus on the sawtooth wave, since that's a simple waveform that is usually generated in an analog synth by repetitively charging then resetting a capacitor with a constant current, to make a very smooth continuous ramp. In the SH-1000, not only does the sawtooth waveform have "bumps" due to the mixed pulses/squarewaves, but the shape of the ramp is different at different footage settings.

Roland had experience with these chips in other contemporary devices: I have a Roland EP-30 that has (I think) 8 of these LM3216 chips. It also tries to synthesize saw-like waves, but the resolution for the saw waveforms that keyboard is much worse. So, basically, if my SH-1000's TOD chip goes bad, I have quite a few replacements at the ready! ;)"
