Simply the Best
★★★★★This is simply the best software synth. It can produce the sounds on the scale I need i.e. Gigantic. This truely is wonderful (& I notice that now in version 3 it no longer has the lag-time loading issues that appeared when it first appeared at Plugin Alliance, which kept me using version 1.1 until today). Hopefully Diversion is still being updated. Well done D.S. :) -
Great synth plugin!
★★★★★I love this thing! Great presets and some fantastic tones. More synth plugins!!! -
Try it . Buy it
★★★★★I hardly ever buy software synthies. I own the k-omplete bundle (you know what I mean ;-)) that easily can satisfy all your desires, not only because you actually can build your own designs but because you also get a flood of presets. So why getting another synthesizer, then?
The answer is quite simple:
The sound, oh dear, is amazing! This thing sounds "real"... meaning it has a certain "depth" in its sound... It is hard to put in words. It may look simple but it is a true beast of complexity. The options which sounds you can create with Thorn are almost endless. It feels at home anywhere you want it to contribute, be it film scoring, pop, rock, ambient music, EDM... it delivers.
Believe me, even if you have some good synthesizers, you won't regret this one. -
Thorn!
★★★★★Very unique synth with powerful features and simple to use interface -
A great synth
★★★★★Life is simple with Thorn Synth. I love it. The harmonic filter is a beast! -
Best synth
★★★★★This synth has a truly unique and very warm sound. Absolutely amazing for Super saws , Pads, and keys !!!! It is a true peice of art -
A gentle synth
★★★★★Thorn gives me soft pads, and more, the harmonic knob is a great feature, which I didn't see yet on other synths. The fact you can fully change your sounds is also amazing. I use this one with the Oberheim and Knifonium, which is a challenge for your CPU, so they are consuming a bit from your PC, but if you have enough power to run these? Who would care? -
A Perfect Synthesizer
★★★★★I love it for my music, a really nice and simple gui to handling. For trance and melodies lover a must have -
ds Thorn
★★★★☆I grabbed this plugin to (mostly) play mono leads using a wind controller. It's very velocity sensitive and can produce some really cool and interesting sounds. I use a lot of old school Moogy/ARPy plugins, but Thorn is a really exciting synth that can be very expressive and is a great change of pace for me. I'm loving it. The built-in effects are quite nice if you set them up for live performance stuff like being able to kick in a little chorus or distortion when you want to do a quick mod without changing patches. -
Surprise, surprise!
★★★★★DS Thorn was sitting in my plugin list for a little more than a year before I realized what an amazing plugin this really is. It looks perhaps a little bit dated, but certainly doesn't sound dated. It comes with some great presets that are actually usable and a great starting point for making own sounds.
It's packed with features (FM, PWM, harmonic filter, arpeggio and a great sounding effects rack, to name a few) and is super tweakable.
The only thing that annoys me, is that most of the poly sounds starts up with too few voices set by default, and to change it you have to open a drop down menu. I really wish the drop down menus for up/down, tune and voices was replaced with a click and drag field, like the fine tune setting in the same section.
