Video Training →Producertech - Producer's Guide to Thorn

DS Audio's award-winning software synthesiser Thorn has received praise throughout the world for its powerful, spectrally-synthesised sound and innovative design. On this course from certified trainer Rob Jones, you'll be guided through each part of the instrument, to help fully grasp all of the unique features on offer.

After providing an overview of the synth's architecture, Rob dives into a series of lessons that explore the less conventional aspects, like its harmonic editing and filtering, sampling capabilities and glitch sequencing. He then moves onto the meat of the course, which is a number of step-by-step guides to creating a wide range of patches, helping uncover all the hidden depths of the instrument, whilst providing a wealth of useful sound design techniques along the way!

On the course, you'll learn how complex patches like evolving basses, floaty sequenced pads and arpeggiated leads are constructed, as well as how to utilise advanced synth features such as FM.
