Sound of the Week - Thor Cross Fader

I'm working on a tutorial on using the Wavetable oscillator in Thor with wind controllers, and this is a patch that really demonstrates how it works.

I've mapped the Wavetable Oscillator from Thor to Breath. When you blow softly, you get a square wave, when you blow with more strength, you get a saw wave. You can experiment with the different waveforms in the Wavetable Oscillator and create some sounds of your own. Enjoy.

Impressed at your continued exploration. Is this Reason a softsynth I could use well with the EWI4000s? I'm relatively new to wind wsynths and am looking for potential tools?

TIA

Hi Randy, thanks for stopping by!

Yes, Propellerheads Reason is actually a whole collection of synths, samplers, effects and more that work well with the EWI4000s. Just about any parameter can be mapped to breath control. You can even combine all these together into your own instruments, like the Cyclone Wind Synth does. Not to sound like a commercial, but Reason is a whole lot more than just a softsynth.

I would recommend downloading the demo from the Propellerheads web site and trying it out. They just came out with Reason 5, like, yesterday, so it's a good time to try it.

Regards,
Chris V.
