About the assignable controls
• The rotary knobs and buttons in the Controller panel are assignable controls 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 section”).
• Movements of the assignable 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 assignable buttons there are corresponding spin controls and displays. 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 but-
ton 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.
The Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels
• The Pitch and Mod wheels on the Controller panel will mirror the corresponding actions on your master key-
board.
• The Range parameter (like for all instrument devices) sets the range of the Pitch Bend action.
• Pitch Bend is pre-wired to the pitch parameter of the three oscillators, but you can of course use it to control
any parameter you like. If you don’t want Pitch Bend to affect oscillator pitch, simply set the Range parameter
to “0”.
Master volume
This is the main volume control for outputs 1 & 2.
