Oh hey there do you have a MIDI controller and $15?

Spluff:
Actually reason has virtual synths as well as sample based ones.

Emaline:
Oh man. I am thinking I may get this.

MrBlu:
Oh man, me too. I don't even have a MIDI controller.

Yeah Subtractor's okay I guess, especially if you want really simple sounds. And Thor's pretty good too. But this stuff sounds really, really good. Like if you know what you're doing with the mastering suite and the nitty gritty of Advanced Reverb you can get Reason sounding this good, but it's nice getting this fidelity straight out of the box. There's a lot of stuff here. It's just a nice tool to have for such a small amount of money.

I ain't saying that you have to buy this, but it's probably the sweetest deal out there for something like this.

Sox:
Doesn't Thor combine any three of six different kinds of virtual analog synthesizer with complete control of each one?
So far I've been able to replicate just about any sound effect I want using only a noise oscillator, and several distinct stringed instruments from acoustic guitar to cello using the other synths. I accomplished this in about 5 minutes without having a clue what I was doing!
And with the ability to add multiple Thor synthesizers to the rack, couldn't you combine all six synthesizers to create a lot of layered sound? Your argument there looks to me like 'Well, Reason IS good, but you have to learn how to use it, while with this you can just dick around on presets and it sounds awesome right away'.

The thing about synthesizers is that they are already incredibly versatile. I can't imagine needing this if you know how to use synths properly in the first place. I don't need a double ended fork, one head works just fine. I don't need 18 strings on my guitar, the 6 I have are enough. I don't really need 20 different colours of paint, I can mix my own from the basic set, thanks. I don't really need a 32 voice polyphonic virtual synthesizer either because it's just layers that I can't imagine ever needing.
Not to decry any of those things, they're all useful and there are people who can do incredible things with them (except the double ended fork), I'm just not one of them.

It almost looks like you're talking smack about Reason, an incredibly versatile powerhouse of sounds, in order to sell something to us that we don't really need. I didn't need this when it was $200, I still don't need it now it's $15.
