Thing-1 Professional Edition

Thing-1 "Professional Edition" is our professional-grade system intended for the rigorous demands of live performance, session playing, and home studio work. It uses our highest quality tracking algorithm and has excellent pitch and expression tracking.

Main-001
Shown here is the main Thing-1 performance window with its built-in MIDI effects for octave, part doubling, and chording. The MIDI control section enables program change and MIDI sustain. All of these features can be controlled via a small wireless right-thumb remote control (sold separately) attached to your instrument. With remote control you can operate all of the buttons shown in the effects and control sections as you play. Control octave up and down, sustain and release, two-part harmony, program change up and down, and even chording.

Details
Professional Edition also offers the ability to create, save, and load an unlimited number of presets. Included in the preset performance data are the detailed parameters used by the MIDI conversion engine, as shown here. These parameters can be tuned to bring out the particular dynamic response and playing sensitivity you desire, as well as doing transposition or channel mapping.

Thing-1 Student Edition

SE
Thing-1 "Student Edition" is a more affordable edition of the Thing-1 system intended for students, educators, and other performing musicians who are on a tight budget for gear. It uses a limited version of our tracking algorithm and will have a somewhat higher latency in tracking player performance. Student Edition uses a simplified interface without the MIDI effects, presets, parameter editing, or full remote control support. But its high quality MIDI conversion lets you access all of the same great sounds you would with the Professional Edition.
