Note: The free version is limited to 2 controllers
Tablet 2 MIDI is a standalone windows application that allow you to use your graphics tablet / tablet PC / digitizer as a set of MIDI controllers. You can add a virtually unlimited number of controllers, by defining areas of the tablet surface as buttons, sliders or XY-pads. Controllers can be layered for even more customization.
You define controllers either with the mouse or with the tablet pen.
Using the pen you can digitize any hand drawn controller layout, in other words: add midi output to a piece of paper.
If you prefer drawing with the mouse, you can use a simple right click menu to quickly add a controller
Controllers can be moved, resized and copied. Finally the whole layout can be printed
By having a paper copy of the layout directly on the tablet surface you can move controllers simply by pointing on the tablet and moving the pen. This means you can avoid Looking at the screen - just like when using any hardware midi-controller.
If your tablet supports pressure, tilt and rotation you get a total of 7 parameters that can be mapped to any MIDI Continous Controller or note.
The classis example of usage is to play a theramin VSTi: you can control both pitch, amplitude and filter simultaniously. Textures / drones and pads are handy to control with XY pads too. I’ve had great luck controlling string based pads using the tablet as a virtual “bow”

Touchpad 2 Midi is a free VST plugin for Windows that allows you to use the touchpad on your laptop as a midi controller.
The touchpad can be configured as:
* An XY pad
* 4 sliders
* 4 Buttons
At the moment only Synaptics touchpads are supported

You can best think of tonespace as a different, more intuitive music keyboard, combined with a chorder.
It automatically generates chords to MIDI-out, while you move the mouse around in a grid-like space. It supports over 50 different grids, 14 scales, 18 keys, 30+ chord types and 15 chord voicings. Great for slow IDM chord pads. Or try the blues scale with your bass rythm track of choice for some sweet jamming.
Can also be used as a fun educational tool for anybody wishing to learn about scales, keys and chords.
Tonespace is a midi VSTi plug-in (Windows-only currently). When you play, it generates midi output. This output you can then feed into another instrument capable of turning midi into sound, like a synth plug-in. Or you could record the chord progressions you played to a midi track.
Important : you have to install the Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework runtime before tonespace can run.

A freeware synth capable of producing lush pad textures. It is based on some simple physical modeling techniques.
Features
* Attack/Release controls
* Intensity and fullness of sound
