Over the weekend I rediscovered Thor’s ability to use an audio input as a modulator for Thor’s 3 oscillators
Using a waveform in Europa with the audio routed into Thor’s inputs
Thor’s matrix
Audio input 1 -> osc1 FM
Find a wavetable in Thor (fixed or random sines works like a charm)
Either draw a waveform in Europa or pick a wavetable
Mess with any and every knob in Europa
Harmonic engine on random gain with an LFO on the position
Modifiers
Spectral filter
Makes me wish the props would make even more creative features for their synths
Does anyone else have any awesome creative routings they would like to share with the class?
Thor/Europa FM creative tip

Ahh that’s a good one! I like making Thor fm basses with fm scaled by the modifier and then automating the modifier 1 knob in small amounts to add some variation, never thought of trying an envelope or LFO though

yes, that kind of programming on the Thor is great. FM is what I love.
still own my DX100 which nowadays sounds more analog than back in the day

What a great idea - thanks for sharing. I've had loads of unusual results from playing with this.
Can I offer a tip for anyone trying this - put both the Europa and Thor inside a Combinator (after you have them set up, select both, right-click and select 'combine'). I tried setting this up and was initially getting frustrated with lack of any output. Then I realised that the issue was to trigger both instruments at the same time from the keyboard - hence put them in a combinator and job done!
Thanks again...

Haha I always forget not everyone automatically creates a combinator, the combinator is 100% always the first thing added. Then I add instruments. But anyways I’m glad you like the tip/idea! It’s fun and works with any reason synth. It’s just more interesting when using instruments that have waveform modifiers
