Reason 4 Tutorial - Using all 4 of Thor's Inputs and Outputs - Part 3 of 3

YouTube via SirSedricMusic. Part 2 here, part 1 here.
"This video shows the routing concepts and techniques needed to use all 4 of Thor's inputs and outputs to make really complex, evolving and dynamic synth patches based around Thor's expansive filter sections. Thor itself is an absolute beast, but when used in combinations of other forms of synthesis and other devices it's true power is unlocked.

Here, we're using 2 Malstrom synths and some new routing and cabling options in the first patch to show how this needs to be set up. The second part of the video is a creative patch that I made that shows how to truly make Thor an instrument like one you've never seen. One with the ability to change the entire scope of the patch and sound on-the-fly. Watch the Annotations in the video for a full explanation of the internal Thor routing I used for the second patch, I didn't have enough time to talk about it in the video.

Any suggestions on future topics would be greatly appreciated. I'll try my best to make it happen so, seriously, get at me! I'm thinking of doing one on ReGroove or the Matrix Pattern Sequencer.... or maybe more on Thor!

As always, thanks for watching!"
