The PA download manager doesn't tell you if there are updates though does it ? Or am I missing something ?
Don't trust those with words of weakness, they are the most aggressive

BTW, Dimitry has recently updated Thorn and fixed a few bugs.

no, that is quite a lack of functionality.

only pa does send emals when there are updates, but not always, it seems.

the pa installer also doesn't take care of activations...

the only pre is: installing all your plugins of pa in one go...

Has he added any new features or really done anything with it? Since he went with PA, it seems like Thorn has sort of stagnated. Still a great synth, though.

Glad I'm not the only one. I've taken to just occasionally run the manager to redownload everything, just in case there have been some updates. Can't be bothered to keep checking my email all the time. Of course if you forget to change from "All Products" to "My Products" you end up accidentally installing hundreds of plugins you don't have a license for and then you have another massive headache on your hands.

For a plugin manager, it does surprisingly little managing of plugins.

furst: PA is having some problems caused by the floods in Germany if you didn't know. Their place was destroyed (including all their collectable gear). They are rebuilding rn.

second: if you havent updated in a while you should, because there has been improvements in thorn. it doesn't step through semi tones anymore for example (thank the lord). It's basically been smoothed and behavioral fixes.

third: it's not so much a plugin manager as it is a download manager, and it's surprisingly light.

Thanks.
PA messed up the changelog though. There was also a version 1.2.2. That was the one I had installed before I updated to 1.3.0.

Thanks for posting this! Yeah, development has definitely stagnated (though it's nice to see bugs getting fixed). Really hoping he has a 1.5 or 2.0 version in the works. :party:

You can of course just download the individual Thorn installer from your PA account. I've never installed the manager and I own several PA branded plugins.

This kvr database is wrong, this is not a serial number activation though, just a regular C/R, requires computer ID to generate a license file.

is it combinable with the monthly 25er voucher ?
i.e.: 20+25 -> 45off ?
