This sound uses three oscillators, a low pass filter, a formant filter, two LFO’s, and two envelopes beside the amplitude envelope. Some delay helps to round off the sound.

Share this…FacebookLinkedinPinterestRedditTumblrTwitterThor is a very powerful synthesizer in Reason that has 3 main VCOs, 2 filter sections, 3 LFOs, an amplitude shaper, delay, chorus, and a step sequencer. The variety of oscillator types and filter types is also quite extensive. In this episode, Wayfarer gives one a tour of Thor […]

Share this…FacebookLinkedinPinterestRedditTumblrTwitterIn this episode, we continue our build of a simple software synthesizer by adding a second oscillator. Synthesizers frequently have 2 or more VCOs as part of their design in order to thicken the sound and to mix together different waveform types. We will see how to divide up […]
