FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


ThingTone Software Offers Thing-1 Upgrade

Rancho Cordova, CA -- March 26, 2010 -- ThingTone Software today announced the immediate availability of a new version of its Thing-1 MIDI Music Performance System supporting more woodwind instruments.

Thing-1 Professional Edition 1.7 offers these improvements over version 1.0:

--New Instruments - now works with saxophone, clarinet, and flute
--Improved User Interface - new look, space-saver view, MIDI and audio diagnostics
--Built-in Apple Remote Support - player can have wireless control of effects
--Better Dynamics Control - expanded dynamic range and aftertouch control
--Better Attack/Release Tracking - fewer unwanted notes, cleaner articulation
--Better Pitch Detection - more accurate note detection with imperfect tuning

Released in a limited trial edition in May 2009, and made available for licensing in January 2010, the Thing-1 Professional Edition software is available for purchase through the ThingTone Software website and to dealers and distributors by contacting ThingTone Software directly.

Thing-1 uses software to interpret the musical sound of woodwind instruments in real time. Thing-1 can instantly translate articulation, pitch, and expression into MIDI information to control a synthesizer, turning the sound of a woodwind instrument into virtually any sampled or synthesized sound imaginable.

ThingTone Software is the maker of the popular GrabBack portable backup application for Mac OS X. More information about ThingTone Software products is available at www.thingtone.net.
