Thor for iPad

I haven't played with Thor in a while.  That's actually why I upgraded
to 4, but gave up because working with reason in general then wasn't
pleasant.

The new mixer makes a huge difference in the sound.  I can't even put
my finger on it, but  there is something just more pleasant about it
end to end.

But jesus...I feel like I need to turn my widscreen monitor sideways
to use it.  Reason really needs, like..3 monitors to work with now.
