As I understand it, Operator is a 4-op FM synth (along with offering other synthesis methods). There's no native FM synth in Reason that's as deep as that. Although, Thor can do single-op stuff. So if you want to do 4-Op, you need four Thors (or the Propellerhead's PX7, which is 6-op, and I believe there's a 4-op coming soon from another developer).
If you want to try the 4-Thor method, here's a page I found offering a guide:

Hi
Thor can definitely do more than 1 Operator FM. Each OSC is one Carrier + Modulator (2 OP) and you can then FM from one OSC to another. I'm guessing if you use the Filt & Mod Env along with global and Amp you are close to 4 OP if you plan ahead.
Definitely enough to do what this video suggests. Use Mod Matrix or Automation and you are set.
Oh and yes FM4 is on the way and a nice step into a dedicated FM synth for sure. Here is a taster of some of the presets I am making.

Oh yeah, duh. Thor is natively 2-Op (before you start playing tricks). I was counting wrong.Benedict wrote:Hi
