About Me

Name: ThumMeister

Location: Austin, Texas, United States

In the late 1980’s, I tried to write insanely great code for the Mac and help others do so, too. When Windows swept through the Valley in 1991-2, I realized my great code would become worthless if the Mac platform sank. I became very interested in knowing how to spot winning platforms. Since Microsoft clearly knew how to make its platforms succeed, I joined its Systems Strategy Group. While designing and executing practical "technology evangelism" campaigns, I studied the theory behind the practice, eventually teaching mandatory "how-to" seminars to Microsoft's new evangelists. I left Microsoft in 2000, looking for a new industry to disrupt. When my wife quit her piano lessons after six months of diligent practice, saying that “music is just too hard,” I knew I’d found it. Hammering the Web relentlessly, I found a novel combination of old ideas which could make music dramatically easier to teach, learn, & play, more emotionally expressive, and expand the frontiers of tonality. This blog tells the story of my bringing those innovations to market.

ThummerSetup

The gold-colored Capel prototypes emit MIDI directly, and don't need any special drivers or software.

However, if you are one of the lucky few who have an Eaton model Thummer prototype (the red one), then you also need the Thummer Setup application, which includes the Thummer's drivers.

Using the URL's below, download it to your computer and run it from there.

To download the Windows version, right-click here, save the file to your computer, open the folder to which it was saved, and run it from there.

To download the Mac version, do something similar with the file here.
