LICENSING (DESKTOP ONLY)

Until unlocked, the plug-in will output 1 second of silence now and then. To unlock the full
version, click the Demo label (bottom left corner) and type/paste your license key.

Ting provides 28 different percussive sounds originating from t(h)ings that can be found in
most ordinary households. Each sound is carefully multi-sampled and processed with the
common goal to be musically playable. Ting is intended to be a creative tool and a
substitute for ordinary drum and percussion instruments. Altogether ~1500 individual
samples are used to make this instrument. In addition to the sounds, there is an EQ, a
room simulator, a reverb and a compressor.
