Thorn
adaptive multiband transient shaper
Four bands, four transient shapers, one plugin. Thorn splits your signal into four bands and shapes the attack in each one on its own, so you can tighten the kick without touching the hats. Physics lets you tune how every hit is detected, and 95 presets from 22 artists get you started. Co-developed with iFeature.

Low, lo mid, hi mid and high, each with its own transient slider from -50 to +50, gain, solo and bypass. Tighten the kick without touching the hats.

Peak, Body, Gating and Soft set how Thorn detects and shapes every hit. Level independent, so a quiet hit is shaped like a loud one.
