Thors Hammer - Free Refill with almost 4000 patches

[At Vero Eos]

Found this one today. Haven't tried it yet but it seems worth a look & share:
http://www.reasonexperts.com/refills-an ... Final.html

Thors Hammer is a Reason Refill project that started around 1 april 2014 and is released on the 1st of march 2015. This might explain why Thors Hammer is one of the largest free reason refill package out there from this day on. This reason refill contains almost 4000 patches. While the original target was quite a little bit different (8000 to be exact) the project was adjusted during the production of this massive project.
The complete refill is Reason 4 (confirmed and tested) and upwards compatible. It comes with 1988 clean thor patches and 1971 complex combinator patches. Where most of the combinator patches are based on the ideas on the initial Thor patches (hence they are almost identical in folder structure).

As far the patch list goes, it could be described in full in this article. However, most people will load up the sounds themselves and take them for a spin. The folder structure is defined as followed:

• Trance leads (~128 thor patches / 128 combinator patches)
• Trance arpeggios (~128 thor patches / 128 combinator patches)
• Trance bass (~128 thor patches / 128 combinator patches)
• Trance effect (~40 thor patches / 40 combinator patches)
• Dance bass (~ 25 thor patches / 25 combinator patches)
• Dance leads (~96 thor patches / 96 combinator patches)
• House Bass (~107 thor patches / 107 combinator patches)
• House chords and stabs (~31 thor patches / 31 combinator patches)
• House leads (~83 thor patches / 83 combinator patches)
• House percussion and effects (~38 thor patches  / 38 combinator patches)
• Psy Trance Bass arps (~91 thor patches / 91 combinator patches)
• Psy Trance Pads (~32 thor patches / 32 combinator patches)
• Dubstep Leads (~48 thor patches / 48 combinator patches)
• Berlin school monophonic (~105 thor patches / 105 combinator patches)
• Berlin school sequenced (only 10 patches, since this was marked as experimental)
• Hip Hop bass (~38 thor patches / 38 combinator patches)
• Hip Hop leads (~111 thor patches / 111 combinator patches)
• Hip Hop strings (~21 thor patches / 21 combinator patches)
• Break and Glitch (~90 thor patches / 90 combinator patches)
• Drum and Bass (~98 thor patches / 98 combinator patches)
• Ambient pads (~120 thor patches / 120 combinator patches)
• Ambient drone sounds (~133 thor patches / 133 combinator patches)
• Ambient Textures and effects (~92 thor patches / 92 combinator patches)
• Classic Synth and Emulation (~57 thor patches / 57 combinator patches)
• Percussion (~33 thor patches / 33 combinator patches)
• Electro Strings (~29 thor patches / 29 combinator patches)
• Fm Synths (~15 thor patches / 15 combinator patches)
• Monophonic Modular Synths (~60 thor patches / 60 combinator patches)
• Bonus Audio Effects (contains only 2 combinator patches)

Thank you very much for this big Refill

Thanks for the heads up and thanks to Edwin (Hydlide)

Excellent stuff as usual.

Reasonexperts is an awesome resource as well if anyone isn't already aware of it, well worth a thick coat of looking at.

Thank you for the kind words. It was a long stretch to make this package, but it was worth it
And on a personal note, I got to get the hang of thor a bit better while doing so. Currently I am re-learning the subtractor again, since my subtracting skills are a bit rusty now...

There really are some wonderful patches here, and so many.  The only gripe I have - and it seems churlish to complain about so generous a refill - is that in none of the patches I tried had the Mod Wheel routed to anything...seemed like a missed opportunity.  Good stuff.

Thanks for this great refill ,  amazing work .

fair complain. the subject was also raised during beta testing (release candidates). the only argument that we could agree on during this stage is "where do you end patching a device".
Especially with Thor you have things like aftertouch, expression, sustain pedals, voice keys and so on. Everything can be programmed to do something. However, I just decided not to focus on this that much since otherwise there would not be an end game to patching a Thor device.
while doing the combinators I decided to program a few of these devices using the modwheel, simply because due to the limitations of 4 rotaries, 4 buttons the combi has.
hopefully that clears that part up

Discovered this gem a few weeks ago through another thread and I must admit this is one generous Refill (to say the least). The quality is so good that it's almost seems like stealing to use it. Thanks again!

[darkmode]

Thank you for your hard work! Looks great.

[frog974new]

nice work on the refill
still using it since a few days , like the ways we can use or tweak some patchs .
many patchs are pretty well optimized

[Exowildebeest]

Absolutely amazing in both quality and quantity Many many thanks!

[tt_lab]

Wow!! Thank you sir. Not only you produce amazing tutorials for youtube, but you also give some awesomes refills away to the community!
Thank you big time!

[Julibee]

Thanks, Hydlide.... I grabbed mine last night.  Really nice of you to share!!!

[Trefor]

Great refill Hydlide.  Thank you for all the hard work.  I've barely scratched the surface of it but am looking forward to hours and hours of fun.

[Rice]

If you're doing any type of pop, Dance or EDM (even R&B), this is a must have ReFill...and I DO NOT want to hear about the price, complain to your pet if you don't like with the cost!!

[challism]

Thank you almost 4000 times for sharing this with the community.  It'll be fun to go thru these.  And thanks for everything else you bring to the community.  I really enjoy your videos.

[stratatonic]

Thanks for taking the time to do this and offering it for free. Very nice work. Cheers, mate.

[hydlide]

I am glad to see that some people are really enjoying this stuff I have been making so far. I haven't really replied to everyone yet, since I was a bit occupied during the last few days.

But it shows that the amount if work is appreciated, and I will try to continue to do so.

Currently I am already working on a new project, which isn't going to be as big as this one... but its also going to be free at the same time. Expect this to be released somewhere in the next few months (depends on how fast things go on my end, and what kind of rocky road I might be driving to get there where I want this thing to be at).

[nscerri]

Thank you for sharing @hydlide, really looking forward to run through the list.

Well done for such an initiative.

I also thank Hydlide for his work and generous offer of this refill.  I liked many of the patches, especially some chords/stab patches.
