Speaking of touchpads, does anyone know of a (usb) touchpad that works
with your finger, not just a pen? (The only ones I've seen just work
with the stylus, which is no good)
I want to get one and set it up as a MIDI controller, like a poor mans
Kaoss Pad (and what I think would be the ultimate expressive MIDI
controller).
Surely one of these things must exist?
