Today on Facebook somebody said:
Thors analog oscillators and chorus sounds terrible
Sound is relative. What sounds terrible for a certain person might sound fantastic for somebody else. I know one thing for sure: Thor has the cleanest oscillators of any Reason synth. It’s the Wavetable OSC in Thor which offers 4 different types/wavetable-positions: sine, triangle, square and saw. And if you activate the X-fade parameter you can crossfade from one type/wavetable-position into the next.
The sine wave of the Wavetable is so clean you can use it as test tone. I used it recently a lot for analysing the harmonics which can be generated from the Pulveriser, The Echo, Scream 4 and Amp (including aliasing artefacts…). You know, I’m working on a Guitar Amp ReFill…
And many years ago I would kill for a TC Electronics Stereo Chorus+, but not anymore because the Thor Chorus is a fantastic sounding chorus. I’m using it a lot in that upcoming Guitar Amp ReFill. But ok, like I said: sound is relative. Unless you know what sounds best 😀
Update: on the PUF Reason user dreampolice pointed to 2 interesting threads on Gearslutz about Thor: link 1 and link 2.
