THOR POLYSONIC SYNTHESIZER

203

The Controller panel

The Controller panel contains standard Master Volume and Pitch and Mod controls,

Keyboard Mode/Note Triggering sections and four virtual (freely assignable) controls.

The panel also has a patch display and standard Select/Browse/Save patch buttons

(these are always shown even if Thor is folded).

The Keyboard Mode section

In this section you make basic keyboard related settings for a patch. It has the follow-

ing options:

Note Triggering section

Using the buttons in this section you can select in what way Thor will respond:

• Via note input only.

• Via the Step Sequencer only (see “Step Sequencer”).

• Or both.

The section also has a standard Note On indicator.

About the virtual controls

D The rotary knobs and buttons in the Controller panel are “virtual” con-

trols that can be assigned to multiple parameters and functions in Thor.

• You assign parameters to the knobs and buttons in the Modulation Routing panel

(these are located on the “Modifiers” sub-menu - see “Modulation bus routing sec-

tion”).

• Movements of the virtual controls can be recorded as automation.

• Each control can be assigned to any number of parameters.

• Clicking on the label for a Rotary or Button lets you type in an appropriate name for

it.

About the button key note function

To the right of the two virtual buttons there are corresponding spin controls and dis-

plays. These can be used to assign a key for turning the button on momentarily, as

long as the key is held down.

D Use the spin controls (or click in the display and move the mouse up or

down) to assign a key for the button status.

The assigned key will now turn the function(s) assigned to the button on for as

long the key is held down.

D Note that the key note function can only switch from off to on, not the

other way around, so make sure the button is deactivated if you wish to

use this function.

An assigned key will not trigger a note, only the button status. Also note that the

button will not light up when you press the assigned key.

Function

Description

Polyphony This setting determines the number of voices that you can play si-

multaneously when Polyphonic mode is selected. The maximum

number of voices is 32.

Release

Polyphony

This governs the number of voices that are allowed to naturally de-

cay/ring out (in the release phase of the envelope) when new notes

are triggered and Polyphonic mode is selected. E.g. if you set this

to “0”, any new note(s) will cut off the release of any previously trig-

gered notes.

Mono Legato Mono Legato mode is monophonic regardless of the Polyphony

setting. It works as follows:

• Hold down a key and then press another key without releasing

the previous.

Notice that the pitch changes, but the envelopes do not start

over. That is, there will be no new “attack”.

Mono Retrig Mono Retrig is also monophonic and this mode means that when

you press a key the envelopes are always retriggered.

Polyphonic This is the standard polyphonic play mode - you can play the num-

ber of voices set with the Polyphony parameter.

Portamento On/

Off/Auto

The knob is used for controlling portamento - a parameter that

makes the pitch glide between the notes you play, rather than

changing the pitch instantly as soon as you hit a key on your key-

board. By turning this knob you set how long it should take for the

pitch to glide from one note to the next as you play them. There are

three basic portamento modes:

• In Auto mode, there will only be any portamento when playing

more than one note. If any of the Mono modes is selected, por-

tamento will only affect the legato notes.

• When set to On, portamento is applied to all notes.

• Off means no portamento.
