Uniphonic Sound Design is pleased to announce the release of a new Refill for Propellerhead Reason: Auditory Vortex – Thor Vol. 1
Auditory Vortex Refill focuses on highly playable and inspiringly musical sounds, all based on Reason’s Thor synthesizer. Over 600 expertly programmed patches including slicing leads, breathtaking pads, ripping guitars, booming basses, punchy drum kits, orchestral inspired sounds, and more.
A vortex of incredibly musical sounds, utilizing the vast breadth of synthesis available in Thor! From unusual ethnic sounds created using physical modeling techniques which can be tweaked and twisted, to giant unearthly circuits calling from another realm, you’ll find many fresh sounds here to enhance just about any style of music. You’ll find a few psycho-acoustic inspired sounds, such as our own impression of a burning piano on fire. An abundance of phat synth leads. Many shimmering pads that have lots of depth and movement. Many thick basses, ready to kick a hole in your track.
Categories
The over 430 expertly programmed Thor patches in this Refill are grouped into the following categories: Bass (56), Bell-like (14), Ethnic (10), Guitar (40), Keys (10), Leads (110), Orchestral Inspired (19), Pads & Textures (93), Percussion (32), Other synth patches (50), plus over 170 Combinators that take advantage of layered effects and instrument combinations, to make huge and beautiful sounds.
Guitar Tones
Those who loved the guitar patches in our Phat Math Refill are in for another treat. Thor allows for even deeper programming, which we use here to increase the playability, realism and expressiveness. There are 68 Combinators, and 40 Thor patches dedicated to Guitar inspired sounds. You may have a hard time believing that the sounds you’re playing are coming from a synthesizer!
Controllers
Most sounds take advantage of Mod Wheel and Aftertouch mapping, so be sure try moving those controllers when playing patches. Most patches also take advantage of Thor’s assignable knobs, for quick access to useful parameters, so you can easily create your own variations of the sounds.
Auditory Vortex – Vol. 1 is available now in downloadable format, and is priced at $49 USD. A number of MP3 demos are available on the product page. Three of the MP3 demos are also packed inside the Refill in .RPS format, allowing you to examine their sound design construction and sequencing in detail.
