Lightening strikes and thunder rolls as G.W. Childs explores the vast depths of Reason???*a*?s awesome Master of All Synths: Thor!<br />Thor is the biggest, baddest synth in the Reason rack and Thor???*a*?s sonic secrets, for the first time, are unveiled, uncovered and revealed by veteran Thor sound designer G.W. Childs.<br /><br />Learn every nook and cranny of Thor???*a*?s mysterious synthesis components including:<br /><br />- The Mod Matrix<br />- Control Voltages<br />- All of those oscillators and filters<br />- The Step Sequencer ...and much, much more...<br /><br />While Thor is a very advanced synthesizer, it is built around basic synthesizer modules. G.W. takes you through the Thor???*a*?s complex kingdom, knob by knob, diving beneath the GUI, uncovering the sonic mysteries of this divine virtual synth.<br /><br />If you're new to sound design, this couldn't be a better time to learn, as this Thor series is built for the new sound designer and clarifies basic sound design principals, synth components, and what they do.<br /><br />If you???*a*?re an experienced synthesist, this tutorial will inspire you to dig deeper into the depths of this divine synth.<br /><br />A wise man once said, ???*NsIt takes a master to teach a master???*N? and that???*a*?s why mPV???*a*?s master synthesist G.W. Childs was recruited to teach you all about this omnipotent synth. So Join G.W. on an aural journey into the kingdom of the mythological Master of All Synths: Thor<br /><br />Table of Contents:<br /><br />1. Introduction of Thor<br />2.
