Well, whatever he meant, it implies a rather negative sound character in my view.

Download the v1.0.1 update
GUI sizes a plenty

But I just downloaded and installed Thorn last night. Wouldn’t that have been the latest version? I’ll have to double check...

The main download is still 1.0.0 for some reason.

Another misleading analogy. Both synths are 'branded' and decent synths.

It was a general remark to a general statement. NOt applicable to the synths!

I just provided an example of a context.

... any context ... two things

Not sure what you mean. I don't know about Zeta 2, but Element didn't sound like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. If any synth sounded like that, who would buy it?

IDK maybe my ears are just too sensitive. Literally couldn't listen through Thorn's audio demo, had to stop it after the first 30 or so seconds. Downloaded the demo version and Span confirmed what I heard - abrasive high frequencies.

The other two synths I mentioned have these distorted high freqs too, but in a lesser degree.

I meant to post this in the Thorn thread not the spectral thread. oh well, here it is. since people are talking about both synths in a mutually exclusive way. this track uses a mix of Thorn and Spectral only, plus BFD for drums. at any given time there is at least one of each synth playing. They both have unique but overlapping sound character.

Yeah i just demoed them side by side, i think they sound good together.

not sure if this is the best place for bug reports and such, or if i should be emailing DS, anyway...

Distortion Post HP/LP shouldn't filter the signal if the MIX knob is at 0% ?

Erratic behaviour when using 'scroll' over Compressor Threshold knob

Delay effect causes too much of a level drop [3dB or so]

GUI of individual effects doesn't change order to reflect the changed order in the strip above.

The Thorn is fantastic, and no doubt will have many great updates in the future - I hope the developer is not already torn...

Manual says that's an intended behaviour. However I find in strange, I'd rather have filters for WET output only to deal with distortion harmonics in isolation.

Thorn: Dmitry Sches' new synth!
