THOR POLYSONIC SYNTHESIZER
224
Connections
The following Audio and CV connectors can be found at the back of Thor:
Sequencer Control Inputs
The Sequencer Control CV and Gate inputs allow you to play Thor from another CV/
Gate device (e.g. a Matrix or the RPG-8). The signal to the CV input controls the note
pitch, while the signal to the Gate input delivers note on/off along with velocity.
Modulation Inputs
D The Rotary control voltage (CV) inputs (with associated voltage trim
pots), can modulate the two virtual Rotary controls.
Thus, any parameter(s) assigned to a Rotary control can be modulated by CV.
D The Filter 1x allows for CV control of the Filter 1 frequency.
If the Formant filter is used this is the “X” parameter - see “Formant filter”.
D The four CV Inputs can receive CV from external sources that will be
available as Sources in the Modulation bus.
Modulation Outputs
Here you can find CV outputs from the Global Envelope and LFO 2, as well as the 4
user assignable CV outputs.
Audio Inputs
The Audio inputs can be used to connect audio outputs from other Reason devices.
When connected, you can route the Audio inputs as a Modulation source to for exam-
ple one of the filters and process the external signal. See “About using the Audio in-
puts”.
Audio Outputs
Thor has 4 outputs:
• 1 Left (Mono)/2 Right - these are the main stereo outputs.
• 2 additional outputs (3 and 4), which can be assigned in the Modulation section.
