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.
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 channel and program
change, MIDI sustain, playover, and pitch bend. 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
section as you play. Control octave up and down,
sustain and release, two-part harmony, program change
up and down, and even chording.
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 continuous control
mapping.
This space-saver view can
shrink Thing-1 into the smallest possible screen area
without compromising on usability. With this view you
continue to have access to all of the essential
features of Thing-1 but allowing room for other
windows that need to share the screen.

Thing-1
Student Edition
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.
