52 Reason / Record Tips - Week 51: Thor Filters, Shaper, Envelope, LFO, and Mod Matrix

With a solid foundation of synth theory and even Thor's fundamentals under your belt, this week we'll be diving deeper into the filter types in Thor - looking at the State Variable Filter, the Comb Filter, and the Formant Filter. You'll also learn about the self-oscillator included with some of these filters. From there we'll move through Thor's semi-modular signal path to see how you can tap into the sound-bending power of the shaper, the mod envelope, and the Modulation Matrix.

As with all of these Synth School videos, the knowledge in here builds heavily off of previous tutorials so if you're jumping in to this one first I can highly recommend looking at past weeks to get a better understanding of the advanced concepts we're covering here.

Also: Don't forget to get your cap and gown measurements to the principal's office because graduation from Synth School is next week!

@Henkera I removed your last comment. Disagreeing is totally cool. Debate is totally cool. But keep it respectful... or at least a few notches below offensive personal insults. Thanks, guys. Now you can continue the flaming... :)
