Combinator

This three-part Propellerhead Reason 4 tutorial looks at using Thor as a switchable filter.

This is a quick look at using the Thor Polysonic Synthesizer as a Switchable Filter in Reason 4, using Combinator assignments.

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 general understanding of the principles which drive 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. Try the PropellerheadsSW channel, they have some decent stuff 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.

Propellerhead has introduced a new section on its site, Artist Patch Charts, that features favorite patches of some top electronic musicians and Propellerhead Reason users:

Ever wondered what the bass sound in that track was? How they made the harp glissandos in that movie, the shimmering strings in that commercial, or why the snare in that track sounds so familiar? We did. And that’s why we’re presenting our favorite producer’s and artist’s top sounds.

Artists featured include Orlando Voorn, Adam Fielding, The Flaming Lips, The Horrorist (Oliver Chesler), Richard Barbieri and others. 

It’s a nice addition to their site – but it would be even better if they included audio samples of each of the patches.
