Below is an audio demo of all 51 Combi patches. All were recorded live using Sample Tank Free hosted in Ableton Live8. The only effects are within SampleTank. I played them using my Akai EWI4000s as a MIDI Controller. Upper plate set to CC64 (sustain) and glide strip set to CC1 (mod wheel).

I played them in patch list order. (Sorry. I accidentally skipped the 'AcouticGuit BC')

                50 New Custom Designed Breath Controlled Thor Patches

*************Patch Documentation Now Included!****************

This is my third volume of fifty patches for the Thor Polysonic Synthesizer in Reason/Record that are custom programmed and designed for use with electric wind instruments (breath control, CC#2).  I think this volume contains some of my best and most advanced Thor sound design to date. There are some interesting and innovative uses of breath control to modulate different aspects of the sounds.  Also I'm adding more value to this refill by providing this patch documentation.  You will learn the best settings for your wind controller for playing the patches in this refill.  I will also talk about each patch and ways to play them.  In this refill I've used the two Rotary dials and two Buttons on the face of the Thor so you can change, control and dial in the sound.

To get the most out of this refill I recommend you have your wind controller set to send breath as CC#2 (breath control), upper plate on EWI (pitch bend up on any others) set to CC#64 (sustain pedal) and glide strip to CC#1 (Mod Wheel).

THIS REFILL AND PATCH DOCUMENTATION  ALSO SERVES AS A TUTORIAL ON ADVANCED THOR SOUND DESIGN FOR BREATH CONTROL AND SPECIFICALLY AKAI EWI4000S MIDI CONTROL AND PLAYING TECHNIQUES!!!

EWI, WX5 and Reason user Dan Mackey says, "I'm liking everything I've played. The PB 4th on the one patch is very cool. The DX7 patch is excellent in legato mode. It's the way I've always wanted an electric piano patch to work on an EWI. There are lots of great leads and some cool basses. This is a fun good time! There are mp3 demo's on my music page.
