WHAT ARE THE TRANSIENT SLIDERS?

The higher you set the slider, the tighter and punchier it gets. The lower you set it, the less spikey and the more release you get.

WHAT IS PHYSICS IN THORN?

Finally, you can tweak your own transient algorithm with these 4 knobs. Shape it exactly how you want it, then control it with the transient sliders.

GAIN PER BAND

Control each band's gain on its own, so you can balance the four bands against each other however you like.

REAL-TIME PRE/POST VISUALIZATION

Every band draws its dry signal and its shaped output live, overlaid on the same graph, so you see exactly what THORN is doing to the transient the moment you turn a knob, not just hear it.

WHAT IS CHARACTER IN THORN?

Drive and Gain shape the tone. Below them sits the clipper with soft and hard mode, plus the crossover settings between the bands: 6dB stays natural, 24dB gets clean.

Mix: 88%

MIX

A simple dry/wet control. It sits at 88% by default for a more natural feeling, so you keep a bit of the original signal in there.

SPECIAL FEATURES

MINIMAL PHASE

Built on IIR filters, so the bands stay tight and phase coherent instead of smearing your transients.

HIDDEN EASTER EGG

There is a little multiplayer game buried somewhere inside THORN, built for up to 8 players. Go find it.

LOADED WITH FACTORY PRESETS

A huge library of presets from a lot of talented artists, ready to dig through and make your own.

PER-BAND SOLO & BYPASS

Isolate or disable any of the four bands on its own, so you can dial in one range of the spectrum without the others in the way.
