You don't see the Roland DJ-70 too often.

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.

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!"
