In this free video tutorial, brought to you with the support of Plugin Alliance, Production Expert team member Julian Rodgers takes a look at DS Thorn. a very capable synthesizer plug-in which offers a wealth of sequencing and arpeggiation options with comprehensive modulation and effects. In this first look Julian concentrates on the oscillators and the ways in which they offer far more options than just sawtooth and square.

Editable Wavetable Oscillators

Although Thorn comes with a large collection of waveforms, all of which can access a series of alternative shapes through the position control, by entering the waveform editor the level and phase of 128 partials can be individually adjusted bringing additive techniques to the familiar subtractive workflow.
