abacab Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I subscribed to Computer Music this year and found Bazille CM in my March 2022 issue. https://pocketmags.com/computer-music-magazine Thorn CM not listed in mag, but available in File Silo for CM #305 (also in #304). Edit: Thorn CM download is currently Mac only. Suppose that's an error because there is only one download link button. No code sharing, please! You already knew that, right? ?

It is just not a separate download for PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other zip files I have downloaded from FileSilo contain both platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 When I realised that the Thorn CM was a Mac only version I wondered if originally it had only been released for Windows - I have the that version from when it was initially released. I thought it odd that there was no mention of an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Thorn CM 1.0.x User Manual PDF (provided in this zip file): System requirements In order to use Thorn you need a system with at least the following specifications: • Modern powerful processor with SSE3 support • Windows Vista (or higher) or Mac OS X 10.9.X (or later) • VST 2.4 or VST 3.X or AAX or AU compatible host software 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was an update, probably just a re-release for new subscribers to CM. I don't have the original CM version, but I do have Thorn Beat 1.0.x (2018), which is a mono synth. It looks like Thorn CM is polyphonic, released around the same time. The manual was dated 2018. Edited January 29, 2022 by abacab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 That's a possibility but (for PC at least) Thorn CM is in the Plug instruments Suite Folder downloadable from FileSilo (if you have an hour to spare ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeGBradford Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I think it's available with every edition - but yes that is a great way of getting hold of it if you don't have a sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I downloaded the zip to only find the Mac version... ? I reported it to them yesterday, but no response yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying you unzipped the version from the CM Plugin Suite PC Instruments.zip and it was the Mac version? I downloaded it yesterday and it was definitely the PC version. It contained a file called ThornSetup_100.exe. So unless Macs are now using exe's... The CM version was what actually enticed me to buy Thorn from Dmitry before he went with PA. I have subsequently gotten the PA version as well the recently released Tantra 2. As Fleer would say, it is goud stewf.

I registered current editions (new subscriber) of CM #304 & #305 in FileSilo, and saw a standalone download for Thorn CM was unlocked (not the instrument suite). THAT download only contained the Mac installer. Assume that was an oversight on their part to have omitted the Windows version. The unlocked standalone (non suite) zip files for Zebra CM and Bazille CM are dual platform. So I went ahead and purchased back issue CM #296 for $0.99, and have the CM Plugin Suite PC Instruments unlocked and downloaded now. It contains the Windows setup for Thorn CM. All good now, except that it was a bit of a hassle, and cost an extra $0.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CM Plugin Suite PC Instruments I downloaded that contained Thorn was from the filesilo link for CM#305. I also tried the link in the ZIP file for faster download (it downloaded a file called Legacy CM Plugin Suite PC Instruments.zip), and it too contained the PC version of Thorn. Interestingly enough, the CM#305 filesilo link points to the download for CM#296. You are correct that the standalone download for Thorn only contains the Mac version. Something is a bit messed up for sure. Edited January 29, 2022 by Doug Rintoul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also picked up Dune CM and Aalto CM with that suite, which are also synths I've been meaning to check out. For $0.99 that's a pretty good collection. No more back issues needed for plugins! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
