Auditory Vortex - Thor Refill - Vol. 1

Thanks for purchasing the Auditory Vortex Refill, Volume 1, for Propellerhead Reason.
A vortex of sounds, all created with the mighty Thor! This Refill contains over 400 Thor patches
including slicing leads, booming basses, breathtaking pads, ripping guitars, keys, and even drums,
plus a bonus of more than 170 Combinators.
Auditory Vortex Refill focuses on highly playable and musical sounds. From unusual ethnic sounds
created using physical modeling techniques which can be tweaked and twisted, to un-earthly 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.
Those who loved the guitar patches in our Phat Math Refill are in for another treat. There are 68
Combinators, and 40 Thor patches dedicated to guitar inspired sounds. Thor allows for even more
programming options, which we use here to increase the playability, realism and expression of these
patches.
The expertly programmed Thor patches are grouped into the following categories:
Bass (56),
Bell-like (14),
Ethnic (10),
Guitar (40),
Keys (10),
Leads (110),
Orchestral Inspired (19),
Pads (80),
Percussion (32),
Textures (14),
Poly and other synth patches (50) [in the root folder],
plus over 170 Combinators that take advantage of layered effects and instrument combinations, to
make huge and beautiful sounds.
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 Thors assignable knobs, for
quick access to useful parameters, so you can easily create your own variations of the sounds.
You (the purchaser) are free to use the sounds that you purchase in your music and multimedia
productions. You are purchasing the rights to use them, but Uniphonic retains the copyright on
these sounds. You may not sell or transfer the rights to use these sounds to anyone else. Please do
not use these sounds in another sound set or sound library. Please have fun and make fabulous
music with our sounds! Feel free to let us know when you release tracks using our sounds. We'd also
be happy to hear about any reviews of our sounds. :-)
