  • Great GUI & options

    Just played with it for the first time, after buying this for a sweet price and already loving it. So many options, but very immediate to play with. A modern sound designers tool I was looking for, besides my many emulations of classic synths and old school hardware synths in my collection. Love it and sounds great too!

    There are lot of vsti's around but... this synth has own personality. You can't just buy the best vsti's (feature wise). You'll need to have broad perspective of sound. That's why even if Thorn doesn't have features other synths have to offer, Thorn does have distinctive sound. It's all that matters. That's why I love it.

    Sound quality and variety: 5 stars.
    You just have to see a couple of the YouTube videos demonstrating it or, better still, pull down a demo and play with it for a while.
    Sounds great and organic, what a nice rewarding piece of software!
    Layout: 5 stars.
    Everything seems logical and clearly laid out. You can quickly figure out where everything is and access it easily, which is a plus when you want to make music and not study manuals.
    Manual and information: 4 stars
    The manual could use some more information and a few "How to" sections. For example, there's not much info regarding the use of FM synthesis between the oscillators. It sounds like FM, must be some kind of simple Osc 1 x Osc 2 x Osc 3 modulation, but fact is that is not clear at all.
    The manual and lack of good info on the synthesis capabilities of Thorn are, in my opinion, the only drawback to this synth.

    I wasn’t really expecting much, as instruments have never been Plugin Alliance’s thing, but this is an awesome synth! It’s always a pleasure to scroll through the presets, and hear one usable sound after another: growling basses, leads that cut, rich pads, and some extremely musical and funky arp/sequence presets. I look forward to exploring Thorn in depth, but my first (and second) impressions are that this synth is a keeper.

    Terrific sounding synth, no complaints and the patches that you get with it are top-shelf.

    At first I was a little bummed out by Thorn because of an installation issue involving resource.bin. I was able to get tech support and get the issue resolved. Now that I've tried it out I can say the quality of the sounds are very nice and rich. The combination of the parameters, built in Arp and Glitch effects make this a very versatile synth to add to anyone's collection.
